L. A. Marzulli (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2003

'The Cadre' claims to have Christ's body preserved and hidden in an ancient tomb. For journalist Art 'Mac' Mackenzie, the scenario smacks of an alien agenda. He determines to unearth the truth at any cost. But the Cadre doesn't surrender its secrets easily. Mac's former editor, Jim Cranston, has been found wandering among the ruins of Machu Picchu with burns on his body and in a constant state of fear. Worse yet, General Roswell, Mac's inside connection in the secret government-alien cooperative, is dead of cancer. However, Roswell has left behind two potential bombshells: a set of files with far-reaching implications, and a link to the aliens that he has kept secret for years. With Mac hot on Roswell's trail, the Cadre moves forward with its agenda: to convince the world that Jesus was just an ordinary man granted miracle-working powers by the aliens. The Cadre must be stopped before they can publicly unveil the fraudulent body of Christ, an event that could precipitate a global and apocalyptic shock wave. Mac is swept into a race against time in which losing is not an option . . . but winning could cost him all.

I really enjoyed the book. The notion of John the Beloved continuing til the coming of Christ was new for me. The nephilim and the fallen angels as aliens, grays and repetile-like beings, connects alien and biblical communities. The Great Deception could well manifest in ways we least expect. I can't wait for the 3rd installment. P.S. This is my first review. That is how strong I feel about the story. Thanks.

The Unholy Deception is the sequel to L.A. Marzulli's fabulous book Nephilim and both books are wonderful. The First book starts with a lot of background and builds up the excitement, and the second is just one heck of a roller coaster ride from start to finish. I would recommend anyone and everyone who is interested in the UFOs, ETs, etc., read these Novels. While they are fiction they are based on what very well may be fact; at least fact in that he has hit the nail on the head as to who and what UFOs and there occupants are. Weather you agree or disagree with his conclusions, you will be entertained; I could not put it down and I can't wait for part 3. There is no placidity hear, get ready for a great ride.

This review is from: The Unholy Deception: The Nephilim Return (Nephilim Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)

I found Nephilim to be such a unique approach to end-times Christian fiction that when I closed it I immediately opened its sequel, The Unholy Deception. The continuity of the story was good and the plot thickens in this second installment. Once again I found the characterization to be excellent. The only trifling annoyance to me was the emphasis on Uri's broken English...but this was not enough to downgrade the book. The idea of Satan and his fallen angels using the deception of extraterrestrials was clever. Yes, this book is far-fetched, but after all, it IS science fiction. It's action-packed and well written--altogether quite entertaining. I am eager to read the 3rd installment in the trilogy.
