Book Description

March 1, 2009
Sons of God tells the story of Raechev, the most powerful female Nephelim still roaming the face of the earth. Two and a half thousand years ago, she incurred the wrath of Elohim when she disobeyed his command: the Nephelim--an ancient half-breed race, the children of angels and mortals--must destroy any of their kinsmen who commit atrocities against mankind. She was weak in her love for her mother, the wanton goddess Ishtar, and was therefore barred from the Creator's protection in the Cities of Refuge. Still steadfast in her devotion to Elohim, Raechev wanders the mortal realm, exterminating those of her fallen brethren that hunt her and seek to breed an army of a size unrivaled since before the Great Flood.

Now, in the present day, the fallen Nephelim have enticed a group of scientists to research the DNA of their ancestors in hopes of cloning a destructive horde. When the mortals begin an archaeological dig near Ishtar's prison in the ancient city of Nineveh, they begin being possessed or eaten alive in a series of horrifying events--and Raechev must return to face her fate under the gathering storm clouds of Armageddon. Rebecca Kurtz's extensively researched novel probes our conceptions of reality, and uncovers the links between the holy scriptures of leading religions and humanity's continued sense of the supernatural, occult, and vampires. Her research is provided so each one can decide for themselves what is truth and what is myth.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Dan Brown watch your back! Rebecca Kurtz reveals one of the most enigmatic beings from the Bible in a page-turning thriller that will take you to the secret world of the Nephelim--ancient half-human, half-angelic creatures.' --Laura Kamm, TV Producer

'Sons of God is a crazy-quilt of sacred texts rolled up into a fascinating action/adventure. It reads like a popcorn movie, filled with characters one would normally assume originated from mythological origins. Maybe not! Either way, it's a fun, irreverent ride.' --Mark Paladini, Producer/Casting Director

'Sons of God is a scintillating first novel by Rebecca Ellen Kurtz in the fantasy tradition of J.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. The novel introduces us to the life and times of the Nephilim, the giant beings mentioned in the Biblical book of Genesis, chapter 6, who were the offspring of the angelic sons of God and human women. Kurtz draws upon an astonishing array of ancient religious texts to create a highly imaginative, gripping, and satisfying tale of superhuman power, passion, sex, conflict, love, and redemption.' --Robert Whitaker, Ph.D. English, Princeton

About the Author

More About the Author

According to the Christian Fantasy Review, when thinking of Sons of God, one should "think of Twilight, the Mummy movies or Indiana Jones full of paranormal activity. But this one has a Biblical worldview."

It's been dubbed the Da Vinci Code for Twilight, Hancock, & Indiana Jones fans and whispers of ghosts, demons and vampires hailing from the 1/2 angelic N'filim race found in the Bible.

A former high school history teacher, Rebecca has become a television writer and producer, historical film consultant, screenwriter, film producer, and author. Her film production company and small press, Ephesus LLC, chooses its projects on its extreme niche of discovering and interpreting historical and theological mysteries.

Rebecca currently writes on the Supernatural Blog, the Godly Goth Review, and many e-zine sites. Her script trilogy, Sons of God, has become a five novel series and has already attracted another producer and casting director. She is currently writing Aryan State for three interested producers and awaiting the final results of 1636 in script competitions before continuing development deals.

To one Christian Barnes & Noble manager, Sons of God is a perfect gift for any teen who is being drawn into the rapidly growing genre of Twilight, House of Night, and other YA books in the horror/occult genre. Blessedly, the Sons of God series is pro-God and anti-occult. Although just getting into several B&N stores, Sons of God has already made it to Amazon's Best-Seller List several times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing!, March 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sons of God (Hardcover)
Based on the prologue and about 40 pages I read on the author's website, since the "Search Inside" feature is not active here yet, I bought this book on impulse because of its fascinating concept. At first glance, not exactly my kind of story, but after reading and learning about the Sons of God, as it relates to Biblical accounts, I became fascinated by the whole idea.

The author seems to have done a nice job researching and weaving a hybrid tapestry of allegory and true historical events, and it all comes across as very believable and even makes you wonder if this inventive world, populated with archetype characters, and the supernatural events they experience, had actually occurred thousands of years ago.

As far as I can tell, this novel does what all successful novels do. To whisk away its readers to another place, another time, and to tell a fascinating and imaginative tale we can get lost in. And for this reader, although this sometimes familiar story borders on fantasy, it feels much more like reality.

Congratulations on your novel, Rebecca. I'm sure I'll enjoy the rest of this book. I can't wait to find it in my mailbox.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance, Mystery, and Fact collide in Sons of God....., February 14, 2009
This review is from: Sons of God (Hardcover)
Sons of God is a great read from cover to cover, filled with adventure... mystery... archaeological/religious facts... and romance. The mystery of Nephelim which are half angel/half human creatures unfolds in this tale of one nephelim's search for reconciliation with her creator... In the book there are references crossing religions and time periods which make for an intriguing read. I highly recommend this novel/research if you have any interest in Nephelim or creatures of myth.

This review is from: Sons of God (Hardcover)
A friend sent me this book, and I had no idea what it was or what it would be about. That said, I *loved* this book. It is one of those books you read in two days and can't put down except when your employer is watching you... It's historical fiction, woven with deep spiritual themes that tie together archaeology and rarely-mentioned-in-churches Biblical creatures that have just been waiting for someone like Rebecca to come along - to lift mysteries hinted at about immortal creatures from obscurity to a place of comparative research and inspired imagination. The characters inspired me, the story line rivetted me, and Rebecca's imagination reminded me of how good fiction can be. I seriously can't wait to read Rebecca's next book... although I am now a bit worried about the archaelogy dig I'm about to go on in the middle east (readers will understand!) :)
