The Prophet - Book 1

JM Mystery-thriller #4A

by John Matthews

Sam Tynnan is convinced that with his latest novel, The Prophet – a unique interweaving of ancient prophecies with current-day Islamic terrorism – he’s written the thriller of the year. But when he finds himself targeted, he realizes that some people are determined to bury what’s he’s written.

Adel Al-Shaffir, Egyptian-born, heads an Arabic language ‘activity’ tracking centre at the forefront of hunting down the world’s leading terrorist, Abu Khalish.

But as Tynnan’s manuscript starts being played out in real-life with a chain of bomb attacks and his path collides with Al-Shaffir’s, the question begs: could what Tynnan’s written be used to avoid the prophesied Armageddon of his manuscript?

Or are both of them merely being used as bit players in that script, a terrifying odyssey in which ultimate conflict is unavoidable. A case of art mirroring life or life mirroring art? – with the stakes as never before.

Good thriller

Good story,history,just when it ends,you have to buy book 2,to see what happens.it was that good I'll probably buy the book.or put on wish list.

[Ricardo Neves · Rating 2 out of 5]

Interesting idea, with some nice passages, but somewhat poorly structured. I think I'll give it a second try, just in case.

[Sarla Dixit · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good suspense! Too many characters that are hard to keep track of. Still, will read #2 due to suspense.

Long

It is a
well written story but with so many characters with foreign names, I had to keep trying to figure out who was who.
