The Son of Perdition (a christian end times thriller about the rise of the antichrist) [Kindle Edition]

Len du Randt (Author)

Book Description

One man will rise from the ashes of chaos to restore order to the world. He will use his supernatural gifts to lead humankind into an era of peace and safety. This man will also usher in a time of terrible sorrows; unlike the world has ever seen before--or will again. His name is Victor Samael Yoshe, the Son of Perdition.

When millions of people vanish in the blink of an eye, Victor steps forward with the answer to everyone's question: 'What happened?'

He unites the people of Earth by offering hope and guidance to the scared and confused survivors. Some time later he also secures a peace treaty in the Middle East and is subsequently hailed by all as the long-awaited Messiah.

Everything appears to be perfect, until a terrorist group disrupts the harmony and forces Victor to turn against everyone that stands in the way of peace. Those who do not accept Victor's mark of protection are regarded as allies of the terrorist faction and punished with the maximum penalty allowed by law: Death.

The Son of Perdition is an end-times novel that dramatizes the rise and rule of the Antichrist. It depicts the last 7 years on Earth before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ as seen through the eyes of the average citizen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book from a promising indie author! May 8, 2012

By Michael Massie

Format:Kindle Edition

This is a great book from a promising indie author. I'd suggest that one of the Christian publishing houses ought to snap this guy up fast before his name gets out. This book is that good.

Like most indie books, this book could use some professional editing; however, it doesn't detract from the story at all. I've come to expect the odd typo or two in the books I read these days, and even from books published and supposedly professionally edited by mainstream publishers. In this case, it was easy to overlook for the sake of reading a compelling story.

Incidentally, I just couldn't get into the Left Behind series. I thought the characters were one-dimensional and that the pacing was horrible. Mr. du Randt's book suffers from neither of those issues, as the characters are developed enough to be believable, and the story moves along at a nice clip.

Whether you are a fan of Christian fiction or not, this book is worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read March 13, 2012

It took me some time reading Son of Perdition from Len Du Randt since it's quite a long read...BUT every word, is worth it. The story flows from one setting to another and leave you wondering...what if this is the truth?
The characters are interesting and Len Du Randt has a unique style of writing, unconventional, interesting but above all flowing. I simply loved the story, writing, plot and setting.
For me the Rapture and final battle scene left me in the book, I felt I was there with the characters and was some of the best writing I have ever read.
Du Randt has become one of my favorite authors with one book! I do hope this secular piece of art finds it way to the mainstream. Although a Christian novel I have to admit that non-religious folks would enjoy this as well! I will endorse this without hesitation and is well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Book March 14, 2012

By Yvonne Lee

Format:Kindle Edition

This is quite a read from beginning to end, packed with action and very well written, if a bit on the long side.
Nevertheless, as a Christian I loved it. I found it surprisingly challenging, it forced me to question the strength of my faith. It's not a book I will easily forget, a complement to the author's skill as a writer.
The characters are believable and I really cared what happened to them.
The book is incredibly descriptive and in places almost shocking. So much so, I pray I don't get left behind when the rapture happens!
My only criticism is the books length, but it's a great story and a book I am more than happy to recommend.
