A Testimony of Lions [Paperback]

Robert Otis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 7, 2007

A Testimony of Lions is the story of a scientist searching for truth finding more questions in evolution than answers. Unlocking the secrets of time travel in a NASA facility, he embarks on an unauthorized and perilous journey in hopes of contacting the controversial Nazarene who died 2000 years ago, yet did more to change the world than any other man before or after him. The untested experiment was only the beginning. It was imperative that he remain as inconspicuous as possible due to the political and religious turmoil of the time.

A TESTIMONY OF LIONS

The work of a very intelligent scientific historian that presents a challenge to the average Joe. The beginning suggests a reflection on the author's own childhood and the formation of a crisp imagination. He capitalizes on the reader's knowledge of recorded history and willingness to reach into the vast arena of "How it might have been". The surprise ending leaves unanswered the feelings of fulfillment and fodder for the imagination of the reader.

This review is from: A Testimony of Lions (Paperback)

Robert Otis writes a thriller that you won't be able to put down. In fact, the last 60 pages will keep you on the edge of your seat. The book much reminded me of John Irving's old classic, A Prayer for Owen Meany. Otis writes in that same story telling fashion, and his main character is one you will quickly find much in common in your own quest to attempt to do what is right in life. In fact Otis even explores the possibility of meeting and talking with Jesus Christ, to ask that age old philosophical question: what is the purpose of life and humanity. As far fetched as this might seem, Otis makes it possible with a kind hearted scientist who is tired of the bureaucracy of his top secret job of developing a time machine for the government, and uses this technology for peaceful purposes, to escape to 33A.D. The novel has heroes and villains, a spirited romance, people you will know from history, topped with a very thought provoking and charming script. This historical fiction is a must read if you're looking for a book to get you into the Christmas spirit, or through difficult days in your own existence. I read many books (mostly King, Koontz and Grisham), and this book has that same kindly flavor and intrigue. Do something nice for yourself, and check it out!!

Although this book is fiction, there are many historical facts that are part of the story. The lead character goes on a journey that I would love to take. It is a book for anyone who likes science fiction, drama, a love story, history & religion all in one book. I read it more than once.
