The False Prophet

Rate this book
From the international bestselling author of The Lost Legion and The Cursed Thief comes the next great archaeological thriller! The sequel to Matt James' smash hit, The Blood King, is available for pre-order now!

The Holy Grail has been found, but it came at a devastating cost.

Following the events of The Blood King, siblings Jacob and Naomi Fehr ascend to positions of prominence within the Army of God. Entrusted with a mission to locate the remaining Relics of God, they set out alongside their most trusted allies to fulfill an ancient prophecy, one that promises to unlock the Gates of Paradise.

Time is of the essence, for others harbor similar desires.

The Acolyte has tendrils deep within the world’s governments and militaries. With the demise of Alpha, its former leader, Beta assumes command and mobilizes forces to confront the Army of God head-on, determined to secure the Holy relics first. Beta is a man of treacherous influence, leveraging his social media empire to shape civilization according to the Acolyte's vision.

“Free will” emerges as a powerful weapon in this clash of ideologies. If the STAFF OF GOD falls into the hands of evil, it will possess the ability to shape mankind's destiny as it sees fit. That is something the Army of God cannot allow.

The battleground is set, and the war for humanity’s freedom has begun.

This is the second instalment in the Relic of God series the first being The Blood King which I can highly recommend.

Brother and sister Jacob and Naomi Fehr return in yet another explosive adventure in a mission to locate Relics of God to complete the ancient prophecy, the most important one yet, the one that will unlock the Gate of Paradise.

But Jacob and Naomi and the rest of the Army of God have their work cut out as now their nemesis The Acolyte has a new leader and Beta is even more ruthless than his predecessor Alpha.
Beta has a long reach and will stop at nothing to secure the relics for his own gain and release evil onto mankind.
Can the Army of God retrieve the relic first before the world as we know it ends?

Kept your attention throughout. Only drawback I have is if the reader does not have a background in the Bible or a knowledge of biblical history. You could still read it but I feel so much would be lost. I hope the third book in the trilogy comes out soon because I want to find out what happens to Joseph.

Another Matt James Thriller

A fast moving action thriller around religious relics and how the unworthy can get lost in their addiction to power, however false it may be.
Non-stop action.
