This review is from: The Prodigal Project Book III (Paperback)

After the disappearances of millions of adults and all of the children across the globe, a dynamic new leader emerged to try to bring peace to a troubled world. Azol Dante, a charismatic individual; founded the Prodigal Project dedicated to bring together people into a one world and faith utopia. As Dante consolidates his base of power, the Seven begins to see that he does not have the world's best interests at heart.

The Mujahideen led by General Izbek Noir are taking control of central and north Africa, the middle east, and south America. As Muslim fights Muslim, American operative John Jameson infiltrates Noir's security forces but no matter how hard he tries, he cannot take out the Muslim leader. When Noir sends Jameson to kill Dante, the assassin meets reporter Cat Earley, another one of the Seven. Together they race to freedom after John kills Dante's assistant. In a church in Selma, Alabama, four of the seven make contact with Cat, hoping to learn what their role will be in the upcoming Tribulation.

This end-times thriller is totally mesmerizing as readers try to figure out what is really happening to the world and why. The authors let the audience know who Azalea Dante and Izbek Noir are supposed to be but give only partial explanation of their respective game plans for the world. With so much action going on, one would think there is no time for character development but the authors make the protagonists and antagonists very believable. This futuristic thriller, the third in the series, gives tantalizing glimpses of what will happen in future books

4.0 out of 5 stars Prodigal Project catches stride with Book 3, December 5, 2004

This review is from: The Prodigal Project Book III (Paperback)

The Prodigal Project series might best be described as Left Behind for mature adults. Abraham offers us fewer plot twists, action-packed roller-coaster chapters, and more character development and "reader in the picture" action. The story line and character grow on you, and you become enveloped in the story. Left Behind, as much as I enjoyed it, sometimes felt more like the plot-sequence was coming out of a fire hydrant.

Some minor complaints--the names Abraham choses are often odd. His acrostic with the key seven characters was barely clever, and a bit overdrawn. Additionally, despite the harrowing events that are taken place, the back and forth between action and dialogue-contemplation is a bit too distinct. The description and discussion need to be blended more smoothly.

Bottom-line: This is a weak four-star novel. It's somewhat more sophisticated than the Left Behind series, and well worth reading.
