Eloah: No Heaven
Could the arrival of Eloah, an Elohim teacher, prove the quantum physics "multiverse" theory? Can he stop a nuclear war that would destroy Earth and every parallel universe attached to the planet?
~~~
From Review by Bestselling Author Seeley "The story is imaginative and interesting. He keeps even the skeptical reader riveted to the outcome. He does a better job than Dan Brown."
~~~
From Review by Bestselling Author Ken "Part sci-fi, part political thriller, and part quantum physics 101, the entire 'Eloah' series is genre-warping done right. Lex Allen has clearly done his homework, and he manages to weave biblical history, alien intervention, and the multiverse theory into a first-rate action/adventure with seamless efficiency. It's a fun read, full of action and intrigue, clever dialogue, and a great cast of characters, including a wonderfully evil villain with all of Eloah's powers and no redeeming qualities whatsoever."
~~~
Jack Schmidt, a retired Special Forces Command Sergeant Major, is an internationally successful blogger and hardcore atheist. Eloah, back to our reality to stop the potential nuclear annihilation of our reality and theirs, throws his world into a nosedive. With the help of Dr. Elizabeth Washburn (his mate over many past lives) he comes to believe in a life beyond.
Indeed, the revelation Eloah brings to Earth will send shock waves throughout the world.

From Review by Reading Glass "Bottom The writing is excellent, the execution is excellent, the plotting is paced well and the characters are believable and relatable. Kudos to the author for producing a work of fiction that's, at once, intellectually stimulating and a lot of fun to read."

Having read book 3 of this series, I simply had to start from the beginning to get the entire picture, and I am so glad I did. Firstly, this kind of insightful read is a must-do for me, and secondly, I am always intrigued by how others see the Jesus story. While I am not anti-religion, I am not religious and therefore not offended by the possible twists on offer.
Having myself wondered how people would in fact react if Jesus was to pop back up on Earth, and having told myself that no one would believe it, I found No Heaven intriguing. Here is the man himself reappearing, and what do folk do? It’s a hoax, of course, and let’s get him before it upsets the status quo.
Of course, there are other twists to this tale! Thank heavens! This is a great read, filled with insight, a thoroughly enjoyable adventure into a ‘what-if’ scenario. I am already well into book 2, but stopped to leave this review because it definitely deserves it.
Highly recommended indeed!

This is Book One of Mr. Allen's profound trilogy, the other two being No Hell and No Religion. If as a reader you are unable to look with an open mind on a narrative that dismisses the divinity of Jesus or the existence of God then this book will not be to your taste.
Mr Allen has an engaging talent in writing at a level that kept me as a reader engrossed and eager to know what would happen next. A man declares himself as Jesus and has miraculous abilities including those of teleporting to wherever he sets his mind to. He is accused of being a fake, a magician and what else you can name.
He has a message for the Vatican that causes alarm bells to ring and the authorities are out to capture him. He informs the world that they got his message all wrong these two-thousand years ago and organised religion is a man made construct to maintain and operate a power base.
The narrative is expertly delivered and you are left in no doubt where Mr Allen is leading us.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and was disappointed it finished where it did, but in so doing it left me in no doubt to move on to Book Two

There's nothing I love more than a good, historical conspiracy theory to get my teeth into and when it is one that has biblical connotations, so much the better. That's exactly what you get when you dive into Lex Allen's fantastic trilogy Eloah. No Heaven is the first in the series and I read it voraciously from cover to cover. I am excited to discover where it leads us next and what exciting adventures and puzzles the unlikely disciples will embark on in the two remaining stories.
In No Heaven, Jesus has returned to earth to prevent a nuclear conflagration that is brewing between the world's major religions. Religions that were founded on tissues of lies relating to his life and works when he last strode the earth 2,000 years ago. Jesus is furious that his actions and teachings have been so corrupted by the Christian Church, by Judaism, and by Islam. He is determined to produce the evidence that will allow him to show the world what phonies the religions are and the belief in an omniscient and omnipresent God really are.
Linking up with a declared atheist Jack and a religious scholar who long ago lost her faith, Beth, the trio must avoid the many people hunting them who for various reasons want Jesus either shut down or turned to their advantage. They must uncover the evidence buried so many years earlier that shows the truth of Jesus' first visit to Earth.
The author takes us on a fast-paced journey through fantastical situations, back to the dawn of time and forward to the present day. This story is reminiscent of some of the best biblical conspiracy theories I've read, from the likes of Ken Fry and Dan Brown. I would highly recommend this read to anyone who loves a great action/adventure/mystery. Roll on books two and three, I say. Great job Mr Allen.

Whatever your religious persuasion, or lack thereof, this novel, this entire series will grab your attention from the very first page and keep you captive until the very end. You do not have to agree with the theory the author proposes in this book to thoroughly enjoy this splendid story.
ELOAH: NO HEAVEN, by Lex Allen is the first book in a three book ELOAH series, and is a fascinating blend of religion, alternate history and quantum physics. In NO HEAVEN we are introduced to Eloah, who claims to be Jesus Christ. But not at all as we have come to know Jesus from standard religious teachings, which Eloah claims to be inaccurate. Immediately I was drawn into this potentially explosive and controversial tale. I will not launch into a synopsis of this novel or reveal spoilers in this review. For more information pertaining to this superb tale you can read the book for yourself.
ELOAH: NO HEAVEN, is extremely well written, the characters are wonderful and believable, and the pace is perfection. I suggest if you have a particularly busy schedule, that you complete those tasks you have to do first, before you start to read this book, as you will find this novel nearly impossible to put down.
I highly recommend ELOAH: NO HEAVEN, to everyone with an open mind, who loves a great story and is not afraid to think about or consider alternatives.

My wife read this book to me from her Kindle and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Whilst these types of books are not always her cup of tea, we enjoyed reading it and discussing it at length. So even if you think this book does not look like your cup of tea, maybe you should give it a try because you will have a great time reading it. I did not get the audio but I note that it's available in audio so there is always that option too.

Eloah: No Heaven is quite an adventure. I had no idea what I was dipping my toes into when I started reading, and from the second the title character showed up, I was hooked. Part conspiracy thriller, part science fiction, and a whole lot of philosophy were poured into this book. The plot zips along at a lightning pace, but never leaves the reader in the dark. The mystery unfolds perfectly, leaving the right amount of intrigue dangling in front of you to propel you through the story. I found the concepts herein so intriguing that I was thinking about them long after I finished the book, and even encouraged to do my own research into religion and the bible just to satiate my curiosity. Like any proper thriller, Eloah: No Heaven is driven by its plot, not its characters, but its characters are still strongly drawn and easily rooted for. To some extent, it's easy to see all sides and all points of view.
Overall, a strong recommendation from me. Be warned that it does end on quite the cliffhanger, so be prepared to finish the series. Your curiosity will beg you too.

“Imagine there’s no heaven”
John Lennon’s iconic Imagine lyrics turned over and over in my head many years after the song first released in 1971, which might seem a bit strange for a kid who experienced twelve years of a Catholic school education. However, being immersed in that world was the very reason Lennon’s lyrics seemed treasonous at first but then made complete sense as I grew. My education made me question the web of contradictions spun through the core of organized religion. Lennon is onto something, as is Lex Allen, the gifted writer of Eloah: No Heaven. Allen leaves no stone unturned as he addresses the contradictions and suspect nature of a powerful, wealthy organization that attempts to control one’s earthly life by holding one’s eternal life ransom. Allen navigates the “What if” and creates an exemplary response of what would happen if Jesus returned to Earth for his second coming in our modern world, and I am impressed by the amount of research and thought that has gone into the underpinning of the plot. Allen expertly filters his understanding of human nature, religious dogma, science, conspiracy theories, etc., through his keen imagination to create a believable world reaction to Jesus’ return. His characters are both complex and likable, and Allen also provided me with the kind of read that not only interests me, but satisfies my appreciation for an author’s command of language. Detailed descriptions and crafty metaphors make reading the enjoyable experience it is. A narrator’s insights on a character’s inner thoughts or how he or she perceives something are the aspects that usually make the book far better than the film. I give this book an enthusiastic five stars and recommend it to anyone who enjoys good story telling or who, like John Lennon, questions the tenets of organized religion. On a separate note, the book is one of a series and doesn’t have a definitive conclusion, but ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting for more. I downloaded the audio version and thoroughly enjoyed the reader. Rich voice capable of different accents and characters.

“Eloah: No Heaven” involves familiar biblical characters, including Jesus and Mary Magdalene, in a modern twist of the good vs. evil story. The question, “What if Jesus didn’t died on the cross?” caught my attention early on. How that question and others unfold throughout the novel made this a quick read. In fact, it’s difficult to view Christianity the same way after reading this book. Then when this story ends, the book goes right into a four-chapter preview of the next novel, which looks like a good one too. This is a well-researched, well-thought out start to a series that will capture your attention and hold it. You don’t need to be a fan of Dan Brown to enjoy this novel, but if you are, you’ll appreciate it even more. I highly recommend “Eloah: No Heaven” and am looking forward to reading the rest in the series.

Can’t wait to read the next one! I found to this book to be well-written, intriguing, educational, at times suspenseful, and definitely my kind of sci-fi/thriller. I love stories that challenge a reader’s ‘in-the-box’ mindset and this one certInly does when it comes to history and organized religion. I don’t want to post any spoilers so I won’t go any further but I really enjoyed this book. Five stars.

After the huge success of Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code" I suspect that any author would love to be compared to that best-selling author, let alone deposit one of his royalty checks! And with "Eloah: No Heaven", the first volume of Lex Allen's new Eloah series which is firmly in the same genre, the comparisons are both apt and inevitable--a religiously-themed science-fiction/fantasy thriller which yanks the reader all over the world in pursuit of secrets long-buried or never known to any but the original players--all of whom are introduced to us along the way.
It's nearly impossible to provide any sort of synopsis or summary without spoiling the surprises--there is a new reveal every few chapters--some predictable and others which will make you gasp in amazement. The plot, as good thriller plots should, moves you smartly from place to place and scene to scene while still providing at least a modicum of local color and character development which will be just enough for most readers.
I struggled to try to figure out who would enjoy this book the most. Readers of Dan Brown and religious fiction are a perfect fit of course. Open-minded religious folks should like it along with fans of action-adventure, science-fiction, and fantasy. Also, romance readers who would enjoy evidence of an actual and mutual soulmate relationship! And, of course, those who just want a way to relax with a good book for a couple of hours whatever the subject.
I also have to say that i am currently a Pagan and am an ex-Christian and the author is right on-target and obviously comfortable writing in both categories--there is nothing I could find to challenge or change in either area. It is unusual to find such evidence of research in what is normally regarded as a 'casual' or mass-market novel.
But at bottom it's a fast-paced, easy-reading novel which might well coax your mind into nooks and crannies it has never before ventured and yield some authentic delight along the way. I envy you the journey and I eagerly await the next volumes in this series so I can acquire all the 'good news'.
Oh, just one more bright spot. Being a victim too many times of self-edited KDP books, I was delighted as an ex-copy editor to find less than a handful of minor issues such as typos which I passed on to the author and they might well be corrected by the release date as I understand there will be a final edit before the official release date. There were no formatting issues on my Kindle edition. Well done!

Raised Christian, I am drawn to debates surrounding the holy bible: creationism versus evolution, science versus religion, etc. Tenets of the faith are central to my world-view, although I cannot converse intelligently about scripture, so I find fictionalized discussion highly alluring (ala Dan Brown). Why not wrap it in story, as the bible does, as do the sacred documents of all religions? … And along comes Lex Allen. In NO HEAVEN, Allen explores the return of Jesus to earth today, not to save us, but to correct some grievous past errors and reset the directional progress of mankind. It is a highly entertaining story and will appeal to readers of all faiths.
Hailing from a parallel universe, Jesus is known as Eloah. He is not a god, nor the son of God, but simply a product of an advanced race possessing advanced powers. Appearing first in Cologne and simultaneously Washington, D.C., Jesus quickly convinces his chosen team of humans to accompany him and assist his mission. Allen’s characters are well developed, empathetic, and totally suited to his story: centrally, there’s a tough-guy mouthpiece for religion skeptics, a theology academic enduring a crisis of faith, and a budding filmmaker seeking clarity of vision. Both inventive and plausible. Oh, and there's that magician in Vegas, who has everybody fooled, shadowing their quest, intent upon disrupting it.
NO HEAVEN is book one of a trilogy. Mr. Allen does a great job introducing questions necessary to alter mankind's course of faith, and wraps it all in a captivating, speculative adventure. Thought provoking, without being heavy-handed or contrary, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Bring on books two and three!

Eloah, No Heaven is a slow burn with a deep hook. It starts with getting to know these characters who seemingly have no connection to each other. They aren't even on the same continent. But as the laces tighten towards the end, it all comes together in a beautiful alternate explanation of the life of Jesus Christ. Jack's character is my favorite. He is stubborn, logical, and yet more open minded than he even thinks himself.
This book’s ‘truth’ of Jesus is well explained and may make you feel a little stoned if you let yourself really sink into it. It feels familiar and yet surprising at the same time. Perhaps because it’s almost like Eloah takes parts of your strangest dreams and adds their flavor to his truth.
On a side note, the audiobook version is great. The voice has Shatner-style pauses, but his voices are great. Especially that of Scotty the Scottish bar owner. Now, on to book two!

Led Allen has written a science fiction book about alien influence on earth. His characters are complex and psychologically developed. His plot is interesting and spell binding. He deals with serious subjects like God, Jesus, Love, Good, Evil, and Truth. He puts forth interesting theories.

Fabulous is a good word to start this review (I'm not great at reviews I'm afraid). I first read the short story which whetted my appetite for more so downloaded the whole trilogy and I'm now on Book 3, loving every page. The subject matter is something I'm most interested in, alternative views on creation, intervention and how stories have been manipulated by organised religions. There are also some points within the story that are worth further consideration. Just my cup of tea.
The story is original and inventive and Mr Allen has certainly done his research into religion, history, quantum physics and philosophy. There is no specific genre in which to place the Eloah series, it is a thriller but covers most of the others including some sci-fi and fantasy. I found this story to be beautifully written, engaging and exciting with a fabulous plot and super characters and dialogue. I don't want to spoil the story by explaining it here but do want to let you know that the only disappointing part was coming to the end of the book!

Dan Brown meets Jason Bourne in this religious thriller that posits Jesus was an alien come to teach humans enlightenment.
As an alumna of Catholic schools, I appreciate the theological and historical accuracy of this book.
As a social worker, I appreciate the author's realization that if Jesus were an alien, humans definitely would've misinterpreted his message, killed each other over it, and then reacted poorly to his return 2000 years later.
A good blend of genres that leaves you ready for book 2.
