The Armageddon Prophecy
A young woman is brought into a rural Colorado hospital with biblical verses branded on her skin. She has severe internal burns and is not expected to survive. For Dr. Stephen O'Neill, it’s the beginning of a puzzling nightmare.
After reporting the victim’s wounds to the local sheriff’s office, Dr. O’Neill forms a bond with the responding officer, Deputy Emily Holland. Before long they begin to suspect that a local religious sect—some would call it a cult—may be involved.
When another victim’s body is found, it becomes a race to decipher the biblical references and find the executioner before another body turns up. Can O’Neill and Holland solve the puzzle of the Armageddon Prophecy before Judgement Day arrives? The fate of the world may hang in the balance.

Raymond Finkle
8 books13 followersRaymond Finkle is a physician who lives in New England. He wrote The Mendelian Protocol in 2005 during medical school. He decided to revive his writing career in 2020 because it was such a great year, all around, that it just seemed like the thing to do.
He released the Insanity Criterion, also a sci-fi medical thriller, in October 2020.
His third book The Armageddon Prophecy should be out before the end of 2020. It is not sci-fi.
He is currently working on his fourth book, a mystery set on Nantucket Island in the 1980s.
His short story collection Three Stories is available on Amazon.

1.5 stars, actually. A cult founded by a greedy con artist in Colorado has end-of-the-world plans. A doctor and a few other people, mostly in law enforcement, get wind of their plans after a couple of murder victims land in the hospital.
The writing style, such as it is, mimics the old "Dragnet" series except "Dragnet" didn't constantly repeat things. There are bad guys and pit bulls crossed with wolves hybrid dogs that are killing machines. A lot of death. A standoff, a trip to Denver over a mountain ... enough to keep me reading. The end-the-world scheme is ridiculous.
Then it's as if Finkle couldn't figure out a way to tell the rest of the story so switches to a description of what happened.
The book had some promise, but it never panned out. If I would've remembered the author's name, I never would have bothered downloading the (free) book because the other book I read by him, "Sky Heist," was such a stinkeroo (with another preposterous ending) I gave it one star only because that's the lowest rating.

A complicated doomsday book.
This story is written in such a way that you read it optimistically trying to figure out how the world will be saved. Then in the final chapter you realize your greatest fears are not as fearful as you think. This book makes you think.

Armageddon
Loved this, could hardly stop reading. A cult in a small town with a mission to end it all and take world control. I like the writing by this author. The ending was a bit anticlimactic. Such a good read!

A strange book with some memorable characters. The story keeps you wondering if this could happen in real life.

A near miss
A good enough, if somewhat fanciful, story crippled by the constant asides to the reader. Also, the characters are just too precious
