I am a huge student of the prophecy of the Nephilim. This fictional book captures the mystery and terror of these beings while thrusting them into our modern world. set in the Pacific NW, the story of opening up the mythical Gate of Tartarus and thus allowing the Nephilim to return is enthralling. I was thoroughly entertained by the nightmare of what may happen.

THE SKYWATCH/DEFENDER PUBLISHING AUTHORS SPECULATE ABOUT THE FUTURE

Plot: 26-year-old Marine Joe Ryback, his sister Sheri and her friend Janet, investigate the death (murder?) of Joe/Sheri’s Lieutenant Colonel father, and discover a US governmental cover-up that involves UFOs. The “fictional” framework gives Tom and [wife] Nita Horn ample freedom to explore and speculate ideas that couldn’t be addressed in their nonfiction works.

They discover that the father “played a lead role in the crash site field investigation” of a UFO the crashed near Sedona, Arizona, and he recovered (and kept) an artifact from the site, which was a model of “the face… from Cydonia… on Mars.” (Pg. 47-48, 53-54)

Evangelical Seminary professor ‘Indy’ Jones informs Joe and Sheri that the image/artifact had the Sumerian word ‘Annunaki’ on its back. (Pg. 69) Jones explains, “the Annunaki were fallen angels that left their assigned habitation and took women for wives. Nephilim were the mutant offspring of their unholy matrimony… the giants of the Old Testament like Goliath were half-human, half-demon… Satan’s followers, the Annunaki, intermingled their DNA with Old Testament women in a conspiracy to stop the Messiah’s birth.” (Pg. 69-71)

Joe thinks, “Indy actually seemed to be making the case that fallen angels … were involved in UFO activity, and that somehow this related to the image he was showing him.” He asks, “if this disc my dad saw was the remains of a physical UFO, why would angels fly around in something like that?” He is told, “they could produce UFOs for their own nefarious reasons. The theology of transmogrification… indicates ability by demons to manipulate energy and matter… UFOs would be used to deceive us… If people believe UFOnauts are advanced extraterrestrials … and that these same creatures visited the Earth in ancient days and tinkered with hominid DNA, that disturbs the Judeo-Christian doctrine… Second Thessalonians … says that … the Antichrist … will be accompanied by ‘lying wonders.’ Maybe these verses are talking about UFOs being used to introduce the Man of Sin… something to trick humanity into accepting the appearance of Antichrist.” (Pg. 73-75)

Vatican scientist Bishop Renaldo Banducci tells Jones that “He had long thought the Cydonia Face and pyramidal structures near it were… potentially illustrating a past Martian civilization that … would provide physical support for the Bible’s account of prehistoric war and the subsequent expulsion of Lucifer and his angels ‘from the heavens.” (Pg. 109) Jones responds, “So you believe… that cities on Mars might actually have existed, and that these were abandoned during a pre-Genesis war between Good and Evil?” Renaldo replies, “If pyramids on Mars are confirmed … by disreputable governments and scientific institutions… I’ll present it to the Vatican as possible proof of such a war…. People will point to Mars and .. say, ‘See! Here’s proof! We came from aliens! The Bible is a hoax!’” (Pg. 110 -111)

Sheri (and the image) are abducted. Physicist Andrew Corsivino discourages Joe from contacting the police: “What would you tell them, Joe?... That a respected government contactor abducted your sister? They’ll laugh you all the way to your jail cell.” (Pg. 126-127) Later, Corsivino explains, “my colleagues and I believe the image … dates back to 1987 when a saucer-shaped object crash-landed … near Sedona… The craft and three alien bodies---one of them alive---were recovered… but the [saucer’s] ignition key… was missing.” Joe asks, “You believe the object my dad retrieved was this key?” Corsivino replies, “It’s very likely.” (Pg. 130) Corsivino tells him, “A Jesuit named Malachi Martin … cautioned about dark forces … trying to … unleash the Antichrist… this time a very high-tech one.. He showed us where the Annunaki offered weapons technology to Israel’s enemies in exchange for women. The antediluvian females became hosts to genetic experiments resulting in a breed of giants called Nephilim… the disc recovered from Sedona was …something to trick world governments into joining forces with Satan in preparation of Armageddon.” (Pg. 134-135) The stolen artifact is later discovered to be the ‘Nibiruan Key’ that operated the captured saucer.

A shadowy ‘New Messiah’ project by scientists intends to use “The genetic blueprint for creating alien god [which] had been provided by the sole survivor of the Sedona UFO crash… ‘Apol’ … was the most manlike Nephilim ever mutated from a living human specimen, a virtual ambassador of the Annunaki of Nibiru. His offspring would be … a deity by mythological standards.” (Pg. 157)

A military operation called ‘Operation Gadfly’ is initiated, and “bio-assassins … had weapons … [that were] frighteningly lethal… a simple handshake … yielded… a genetic sample… pathogen-loaded viruses, or DNA bombs… deliver infectious agents lethal only to the original donors.” (Pg. 176-177)

An “End-Time alliance of ten nations [would be used by] Satan… to provide the Antichrist with an earthly seat of authority.” (Pg. 225) “[T] he ‘Ahriman Gate] … [was] the doorway to Satan’s abode… where … the Devil and his angels… lurked, and from which they influenced earthly governments… Lucifer, now called Satan, now wanted his old throne back. Unwittingly, the Alliance of Ten Nations was trying to give it to him.” (Pg. 230)

Joe rescues Sheri, and they are told, “Powerful, alien devils… come from another dimension… to deceive and enslave mankind.” (Pg. 288-289) Admiral John Stark tells them that the Nephilim “are not entirely demonic like the Grays are. They’re transgenic---a mixture of human, animal and alien. We may have to fight them on the physical level, like ancient Israel did.” (Pg. 294)

The novel explains that “the singularly obedient … Nephilim [would be] the police force of the new global community… [in] the New World Order.” (Pg. 305-306) Majestic-12 is “A top secret research group inside the National Security Council… who will decide when the alien presence on Earth can be revealed to the world… Men in Black … are paramilitary agents who work specifically to eliminate predisclosure evidence of aliens on Earth by using terrorism, fear, and intimidation as a psychological weapon against UFO witnesses… Given an invasion by extraterrestrials … FEMA will suspend the Constitution and martial law will be imposed… [creating] a global police state in which Apol becomes a god and his son becomes president of Planet Earth… the Man of Sin will be the physical offspring of the destroyer demon, a transgenic of the highest order.” (Pg. 326-327)

Far from a ‘mainstream’ “Christian novel,” this book will probably strongly appeal to some Christians interested in speculative ideas UFOs, Watchers/Nephilim, and ‘conspiracy-type’ theories.

I give Tom Horn credit for writing a "Christian" novel that actually has some edge to it, but I can't get past the overall corniness of this effort. I also don't buy into many of Horn's theories, and it's Horn's theories that are the meat of the story, not the characters or the storyline. The humor scattered throughout the book falls consistently flat, and I feel that Horn borrows way too heavily from movies he's seen. At one point, one character appears to quote directly from ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE, while another character occasionally talks like SLING BLADE. Furthermore, the whole book often feels like a movie novelization. For example, the main character is a beefed-up ex-Marine whom Horn describes as looking as though he belongs on the cover of a fashion magazine. What writer, apart from Dan Brown, would sink to that level of character description? The character's last name is "Ryback," which can't help but make one think of Steven Seagal in UNDER SIEGE. In the opening scene, Ryback is being stalked in the jungle by a "predator." Ryback narrowly escapes by jumping off a cliff and into a raging river just as the predator reaches out to take his legs off.
Yes, he escapes his enemy by jumping off a cliff into a river. Bet you've never seen that done before.

A very intense read

Tom Jorn is a favorite of mine. I read this book years ago and this re-read was exciting. Great fiction with more than a grain of truth in it.

DNF I tried but just couldn't get past amateurish writing.

Christian fiction has a huge role to play in the world and it, like any other fiction genre, can decide to take itself seriously or not. This book does not begin, for example, with some list of 23 so-called "facts" on the first page, most of which turn out to be untrue or only partially true. However what this book does do is take various parts of the modern age of Christianity and put it together in a semi-cohesive story. is it believable? I think that depends upon what one has seen in one's life AND what one believes.
For example, it bothers me a great deal when I talk with other Christians when they tell me that the age of miracles is past and yet miracles are happening around them every day. Thus it seems to me that it is likely that we shut ourselves away from things too easily. After all, if we contend that Christ was born of a virgin and arose from the dead, then certainly we ought to be open to such things that God has promised to bring about in the end times. More than this, technology brings about a kind of wonderment and awe-inspired awe so easily these days that I think any pretender to deification will have a much easier time of things simply using advanced technology. I believe that it was Arthur C. Clarke who said , Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The Antichrist should have a much easier time of things if we understand that technology of demons will be truly mind boggling....but still no match for the Deity.

While I am a big fan of Tom Horn's prophecies and theories, this book, co-written with his wife, arrived unexpectedly in a bundle with his latest non-fiction book, and I enjoyed it immensely. This brings us to the heart of the matter, discussing the issues of aliens, UFO's, nephilim, Biblical prophecy and perhaps some eschatological glue. I have a friend who often reminds me that she was the one who suggested to me a little more than 10 years ago that aliens and demons were one and the same and that, also, I thought she might be losing it when she suggested it. Today, however, I do not blink an eye when someone states this as a mild fact and, indeed, I believe it to be an incontrovertible fact. I can easily, however, understand how someone who reads such things for the first time might find such things outlandish and bizarre, much in the same as talk of a spirit world in which angels and demons battle daily around us seems bizarre because we cannot see it. We are, however, told of it and it is only our dependence on the material that removes us from our sensitivity to our spiritual surroundings... but I digress.
The story itself centers around two main points, 20th century alien space vehicle recovery and human genetic manipulation. the outcome of these, in its essence, has brought about a modern world in which a government project goes awry because aliens aren't the really friendly advanced enlightened civilization that they want us to believe they are. In addition, there are some superbly manufactured bad people and a host of really nice people to help things along and I tend to get lost in such stories like this, becoming incapable of understanding how well the story is really being told.
The bottom line is this: does the story work and make sense? Yes, it does, but in a limited way. It tells the story of how evil is harnessed by demons and how aliens and demons are merged into one, how the nephilim could be used, could HAVE BEEN used in the past and how evil may be unleashed in the future. It is not a story about Armageddon and Christ's return but there is a good deal of spiritual battle going on. Because I valued what I believe to be an accurate portrayal of such things and a very real and plausible situation which might emerge in some form, I think this is a superior story well worth reading for any Christian interested in modern Christian prophecy. All the rest is simply icing on the cake...and it's a really fun ride.

Not What I Expected

This is the first book I've ever read by this author. I recently saw him on television and was intrigued by what he said. However, I felt this novel was far too graphic. The author concentrated far more on the gore and horror, than he did on the heavenly host. I'm not saying that he should have candy-coated the demonic. I have no doubt that the terrors we are soon to face will make this book seem like a children's story. I wish I had been forewarned that it was so dark and explicit.

[Wen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was very good. Would be 4.5 stars if there were half stars to give. I normally do not read many contemporaries but this one dealing with fallen angels and such caught my eye. I was very pleased I spotted it. Very interesting take on things.

A fictional story about genetic research at a facility in Oregon that used alien DNA to make Nephilim.
