I recently finished 'Nephilim, the fallen Ones' and can highly reccommend it! I am a fan of Tom Clancy novels and Walter York managed the same level of excitement. Moreover, He pulled off something rare. The central theme of the novel revolves around efforts of evil persons to use Bible Code searches to aid the ultimate antagonist, Satan. The evil antagonist and the hero[s] use the best of the available Bible Code search software to further their opposing goals. Mr. York, himself a well known and skillful Bible Codes researcher, injects into the plot and pages of the book actual, real, derived search matrixes and some very valuable explanations and hints concerning some of the intricacies of Code searches. I own the same software featured in the book and had a great time relating to what was happening on the pages to what happens on a computer. The real world knowledge alone was worth the price of the book.

Anyone can use and buy this software for well under $100. Just do a net search 'bible codes' and you will get sources. Or, check out the back of the book. There are websites mentioned there.

There is also another intriguing aspect to the book. There may be more real truth to the plot than many might be comfortable with. I won't say more--read for yourself! I hope Mr. York writes a sequel to this one!

Walter York is an artist. He intracatly weaves real Bible codes into a made up story that has much truth to it. As they say "TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION" & this book seems to capture the essence of that saying. Filled with suspense & Drama,you`ll be slowly pulled into a world of covert operations & find that sometimes information cost, with the ultimate price being your life.

Like the movie "THE MATRIX" , Yorks book I believe, shows that there are those whose job it is to keep you ignorant from knowing the truth, altering & corrupting it, that it may benifit themselves in the end. In the book of enoch(AN APOCRAPHAL BOOK), One of the things that the fallen angels are accussed of doing is that of "UNCOVERING CONCEALED THINGS THAT WERE FORBIDDEN & REVEALING THEM TO HUMANITY." Being that the Nephilim were the offspring of these fallen angels & are mentioned in the Bible, SIXTH chapter of GENESIS, The idea of "UNCOVERING HIDDEN INFORMATION " is tied right to them, for that is one of the many things that the Number "SIX" signifies in the bible. For all bible Code Lovers, this book should be in your Home Libraries . Thumbs up to Walter York!

From the first page, I found myself drawn into several levels of interest. The many well placed references to scripture and the fascinating Bible Code interpretations lend thought provoking hints of reality in this fictional work.

There is never a wrong time to contemplate our connection to the Creator and the intended purpose of our life on earth. York offers the reader a creative explorative walk through his vision of Heaven and Earth, emphasizing the prophecies of Earth's final days. He reminds the reader to stay alert, to pay attention to his own thoughts, words and actions, as well as world events as they unfold, and to be aware of the trickery of evil. He strongly portrays the ultimate winning power of Love in this book, and comfort in the ancient prophecies.

This book has inspired me to think further into the story, daily. That, to me, is the mark of a VERY GOOD book!

Nephilim
What fun. Reading Nephilim was great from start to finish. Mystery, Bible codes, history, and a final tie in to our political world today. For a change, a thriller that allowed you to know enough about the characters right from the beginning so you cared about whom they were, and what was going to happen to them. James Bond has nothing over this group in the international intrigue department. Overall this book provided me with some timely and important lessons.

When I buy a code book I expect it to be non-fiction but this was a good surprise. While it took me a while to adapt to the Mr. York's writing style I found his ideas to be note worthy. I look forward to his next work!

So - so, although I only spent about $7.95 there are better books out there that you can spend your money on.

Here is a story about gov black projects, nephilim etc...that is quite well done, not preachy. Walter Keith York definitely keeps the readers attention by creating 3 dimensional super-vivid characters and wonderful settings--edge of your seat action sequences as well. Excellent writing style as well.

I dunno why I thought this would be a good book. I gave it my best shot, even through the patently prejudiced way that the family's non-christian daughter is described. Like a cardboard cut-out bad-guy, she is a cariacature of the "difficult teenage daughter". The book lost all credibility for me at that point.

Sidenote: An atheist is not an un-reasoning, petulant, ugly person - their reasoning has simply brought them to a different opinion to that of a Christian... one that should be respected even if disagreed-with (it's called "tolerance"). The fact that the one non-christian was portrayed in such a clearly ridiculous light (and compared with the shining, beautiful christian Michael) completely destroyed my suspension of disbelief.

I decided to try to struggle on - to see if it got any better... but it swiftly descended into bible-code hell. I'm *really* not interested in the details of why people think what they do about bible codes. I personally believe that the entire field of study has no scientific merit whatsoever. This means that any conclusions drawn from it are purely speculative... ie opinion. I can get a person's opinion on religion just by asking. That way it comes without the false cloud of legitimacy that "studying bible codes" is supposed to bring. Read some books on statistics to see why I feel this way. "Innumeracy" is a good one to start with - and written for the layperson.

But besides all this, the bible code description was written in such mind-numbing technical detail that I just couldn't keep on with it. The book would have been much more adaptive to multiple audiences if the technical details was removed safely to an appendix - allowing people to choose to read it if they wished (or not).

I thought this was a very fun, suspenseful book. The character dialog was a little amatuerish, but that is just me, I guess. The plot was very creative with plenty of twists, surprises and moral lessons to be enjoyable. This book made me think about the world in relation to the spirit realm in a different way. I used to think of the spirit realm as magical or almost mythical, but York's writing allowed me to relate to it as another part of life. Our temporal and spiritual lives may not be as far apart as conventional thinking allows.
