Upheaval: An Apocalyptic End-Times Thriller

by Mark Goodwin

And I looked, and behold a pale and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.—Revelation 6:8 A plan to take down the New World Order. When Solomon calls in a favor, Josh is obligated to hold up his end of the bargain. He quickly regrets binding himself and the group to the open-ended agreement after hearing what Solomon has in mind. The mission is not only dangerous and foolish, but Josh considers it to be down-right impossible. All that glitters is not gold. Lucius Alexander’s OASIS cities are living up to their names by providing security, healthcare, food, shelter, and even recreation. But admission to these modern utopias come at a cost. Residents must accept the Ministry of Religion’s new global standard for worship. For most Christians in the US, it isn’t a problem. However, some faithful followers refuse to adhere. Lucius Alexander is revealed as a man bent on conquest. A new strain of Red Virus is threatening the globe. Citizens are required to keep their digital certificates up-to-date by taking the latest version of the vaccine. Those who refuse are denied access to food and banned from entering OASIS cities. To make matters worse, the person who the world is calling the Prince of Peace is instigating a war with the new Eastern Trade Organization. China and Russia are calling the shots for the ETO and the conflict is about to go nuclear! Don’t miss the pulse-pounding conclusion of The Beginning of Sorrows saga! As with all works by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

[Danny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm conflicted about my rating. it was a fantastic read, which is very rare for me to read a trilogy and go wow all 5/5. There had to be something I didn't like. Well having finished this first part of the trilogy I did. I had a few guesses who might lead the next trilogy once I found out there was a continuation of the series. Then I finished the book and was slightly disappointed two of my guesses were wrong. Though I won't let that disappointment get to the rating. It was another fantastic and great ending for some of the group. It's also an interesting start for another set of people. Will definitely continue the series.
