The Progeny story continues as Paul, Jackson, and Hunter find themselves left behind in the wake of the solstice. The activation of the pyramid has led to some sinister changes that not even the Fallen are safe from, and as Henry's friends join the remnant of pure-blooded castaways in trying to understand their new predicament, a terrible discovery is made concerning Chadwick's doomsday theories and John's end of days theology. But can they follow their friends out of this hell in time to warn the world?
Shawn Hopkins lives with his wife and daughters in Pennsylvania. He holds degrees in theology and likes exploring the speculative side of such topics through the telling of unique stories and their characters. He enjoys a good thunderstorm, football, movies, and of course reading. He is busy on the next book.
This is my third Shawn Hopkins book. I have liked all of them. I gave it this rating because it held my attention right from the start. It was exciting and the characters were likable. I could hardly put it down. Although I felt the ending a bit abrupt and wanting more answers and closure. Hoping it means another book.
I really wanted to like this book. I LOVED PROGENY and all of its literary references, the character development, the oodles of history nuggets and the fast pace - once the book finally got going - it did take while - like patiently waiting for an elderly relative to get to the point when s/he is in no hurry to do so. The author took even longer to get the story started in REMNANT despite an action-packed beginning. I kept waiting for the book to get going and get interesting and it NEVER did. I was so disappointed. I realized after finishing this book that I couldn't care less what happens to these characters any longer - they and their creator have fallen into the rabbit hole.
