Editorial Reviews

Review

"A powerful view of things to come, merging fantasy and reality in a way that entertains, inspires, and terrifies. This is must reading" -- Charles Ashanin, Ph.D.

From the Publisher

From the Prologue: Not even the newly formed mammoth military-political complex that transcended former national boundaries could stamp out the ever-present threat of fanatic and bloodthirsty terrorist cell groups hidden away on all parts of the globe. The killing of the innocent had become a hobby of the disenchanted and marginalized who measured their worth according to the volume of gore spread on city streets. The skills of these shadowy groups rivaled the sophistication of the Assassin sects of Medieval Arabia. In the new century, terrorism was a tool that belonged to all races and religions. It was the means of choice for venting rage, despair, and madness. Such feelings were everywhere among a species that had lost its conscience and any traces of meaning as to its purpose in the cosmos. The law of the jungle reigned supreme even in this high-tech global civilization.

5.0 out of 5 stars A view of the near future..., January 6, 2003

This review is from: The Tribulation (The Messiah Chronicles, Book 2) (Paperback)

"The Tribulation" is one of those rare books that was able to get my attention, and keep it right to the end. I now HAVE to get the sequel!

Although this novel was written in 1997, it is even more relevant today. Based on familiar views of our planet's future from the Biblical "Book Of Revelation", this novel gives a more human side to the spiritual "war to end all wars" and brings the stories into our everyday world of the 21st Century.

Nottingham is a gifted, insightful and perhaps prophetic writer who will appeal to those who look beyond religious doctrine to see the "bigger picture" of the spiritual reality around us. Opening our eyes to the possibilities of how the cards may be played out and the sad but true way in which men's hearts are polarised to one side or the other ... good or evil, love or fear, peace or war.

Yes, it challenged my preconceptions, but I was unable to put it down for more than a day. It is worth considering!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nottingham's latest explosive title, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tribulation (The Messiah Chronicles, Book 2) (Paperback)

* * * * * - Theodore J. Nottingham has done it again. His intense writing style once again shines from cover to cover of "The Tribulation." Read by itself, this book is simply enthralling. Read as second in the series of The Messiah Chronicles, "The Tribulation" intensifies this drama of the Prophet's friends and intensifies its complexity. The world civilization as previously known has been destroyed, and powers of darkness reign supreme. "The Tribulation" tells the drama of a small band of people trying to survive disaster, and once again bring light to the world. If "The Abomination," next in the series, is half as captivating as "The Tribulation," Nottingham's readers are in for a real treat.
