The Unholy Deception

The Nephilim Trilogy #2

by L.A. Marzulli

'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.

Reviews

[T.J. Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book that will make you think. Probably closer to the truth than most would admit. One of those hard to put down books. I read it in three days

[Angela R. Watts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book! Pretty informative, with the fiction twist, as well.

[Jaime · Rating 4 out of 5]

Author, L. A. Marzulli builds on a mesmerizing plot and full-blooded but flawed characters from his first, expands on their stories and develops the 'Cadre' evil leaders to produce a visceral and exciting second novel. this book was a fast read because of the familiarity of the characters one cares for and a fast-moving plot. More dark details come to the surface, there is tragedy and miracles galore. I recommend this novel with two thumbs up. This series needs to be made into a Christian film.

The second book in a very nail biting thriller about the possibility of alien invasion, and that the evil cadre now claims to have found Jesus' true body. Mac must infiltrate them to find where they have hidden this so called body so it cqan be destryed before those who are against Christianity can use it to destroy belief in God and His son. Good read.

A page-turner. Hard to put down. Continues as the second book of a trilogy. Would make a great set of 3 movies!
