The God Scrolls: A Tale of Aliens, Egyptian Priests, and the New World Order
Michael Whyse, a simple college professor, learns that he’s an ancient Egyptian priest who has reincarnated to stop the reptilians and New World Order from enslaving the souls of mankind forever.
Unable to defeat the enemy in the past, he and the other priests reunite to battle the aliens before they can initiate their nanobot mind control program. Against insurmountable odds, they must race against the clock to restore their magical powers and decipher the many clues they left behind if there’s to be any hope for humanity’s freedom.

Story was fascinating, but the dialogue was strange and the book was way to long! Too much unnecessary fluff. The review here by Cathy Williamson, says it all.

I absolutely loved this book. I bought from a local store where the Author (Michael Rhodes) happened to be there promoting his book. I am so ecstatic that I was fortunate to have stumbled upon this well written book. Very-Very Enlightening!

Told in story format, it delves into areas which much of society either refuses to believe things are possible to have existed or continue to exist. The philosophical questions presented in the philosophy class raises your own awareness how we in a society today have become enslaved to "the oligarchy" to "the cabal" but most importantly living the life of a sheeple. Worth the read if you're willing to remove jack out the box and expand your way thinking. (book was an advanced copy, won through Goodreads Giveaway)

Awesome book!
This was a true treasure to find and read. I am an avid reader and this really. It my genre but met the author and read the back of the book for the synopsis and was hooked. I could hardly put it down. The book also made me think a lot and opened my eyes to a lot of new information. I cannot wait til this is turned into a movie or mini series. It was nice meeting the author as well and was great that he responded to my emails. This definitely was. It what I had originally thought and am glad I read It. Good job Michael and thanks!!

I found this book to be extremely fascinating!! I loved it very much. It is spellbinding, and has mystery and adventure which keeps you at the edge of your seat from the very first page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I didn't want it to end. As I read the book I couldn't help but think this book should be a movie. I highly recommend this book to all.

Uncovering alien plots was the last thing that college philosophy teacher Michael Whyse had in mind, but a journey to Cairo with the intention of going off the beaten tourist path leads him straight into trouble when old scraps of papyrus pose an incomplete puzzle and a visionary encounter.
When offered these ancient artifacts, Michael is initially cautious - after all, many a tourist has been jailed for trafficking ancient antiquities out of the country, and he refuses to be one of them. When he learns he is the 'rightful owner' of these scrolls, what seems like circumstance and chance becomes something larger as his small-time position in the scheme of things suddenly becomes much bigger than he'd ever imagined.
The God Scrolls is billed as sci-fi, but it's also a thriller in disguise. There's an ancient secret to unravel, encounters with Egyptian priestesses who have led past lives, and a secret government behind the government (The Order) which is in collusion with the aliens, working behind the scenes.
As alien encounters become more frequent and priests fall under their spell, it's up to Michael to thwart alien and human ambitions alike to save the day.
It should be cautioned that The God Scrolls is no light read. Over seven hundred pages delve into magic, politics, ancient truths, and present-day alien conspiracies in a complex series of encounters designed to keep readers guessing.
Readers who enjoy the intersection of visionary fiction and science fiction and who appreciate multifaceted stories that move quickly, with thriller elements added into the mix, will find The God Scrolls satisfyingly unexpected and fast-paced. It's highly recommended for readers who enjoy stories of alien intervention that offer higher-level thinking than most.

I’m a fan of conspiracy theories. I do believe that as a society we are fed copious amounts of BS from the “media” and our “elected” officials. I love my country but fear my government.
That being said, the plot of this book intrigued me. If edited correctly, this could make a blockbuster movie.
I wanted to like it more, but the writing got in the way. I acknowledge that this is not a final draft, so I’m sure some will be cleaned up. The characters are well developed, and you find yourself on their side and rooting for them. The story gets bigger and bigger, the cast and characters increase and become more integral, the stakes get higher, the action grows—and this is good.
What was difficult was the dialogue. In some situations, the word choices seemed odd. In other situations it didn’t seem realistic, in still other situations it was overly preachy.
I found the random “fight move” labels in the action at the end distracting and unnecessary, especially since a large portion of the audience probably won’t know what they are—that includes me.
Overall I liked the story, loved the characters and I learned a lot about the topography and nuances of Egypt.
That in itself is enough to keep you turning pages.

This is an incredibly good read, very informative and eye opening if your into the alien theories. Certainly will make you think about some of the things we are currently experiencing as a society right now.
The book is a fast read and I devoured it within two days because I could hardly wait to see what was going to happen next!!
I had the good fortune of meeting the author in person and we discussed some of the details which I found fascinating. My wish for him is that this book will be made into a movie with an ongoing sequel. Great job Michael, looking forward to more work from you in the near future, best wishes for every success!!!

I’m not going to lie this book took me for ever to read. I would start reading and then put it down and forget about it and then pick it up again and by that time I had to start all the way over again because I forgot what all happened. Once I gave it my full attention it was a GREAT book. At first was kinda hard to keep up with but once I got half way down it got my attention and by the last 10 chapters I couldn’t put it down. No spoilers but how can you end this book like that!? Like what’s that all about? And it said end of book one is there a second? So many questions still. Great book again!
