Reviews

[Roxanne Hylton · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ending of this Trilogy should leave the reader with more questions than answers. A well written story that had me thinking about my beliefs and what kind of ending I can have. Time well spent reading these books. How do you see the second coming? Could it really happen like this? Is cloning. where the human race is going? Read it from the beginning and see what answers fit you best.

Interesting version of the second coming. Science and religion in the day and age of DNA and cloning. Some sappy characters.
