Until I Return: Dawn of the Shining Darkness

by Kenneth E. Nowell

In New York, a mysterious drifter is accused of murder... In Washington, an ambitious Latin beauty launches her presidential campaign... Around the globe, a technology team schemes to monopolize mankind's most precious resource... And in Russia, an oil billionaire plots chaos to control them all.

When prophecies collide with modern headlines, fiction is set on a collision course with reality. 

UNTIL I RETURN is a contemporary spiritual thriller based on true prophecies of saints. Gripping and thought-provoking, UNTIL I RETURN races around the world and through the centuries, building in intensity until its pulse-pounding climax. Kenneth E. Nowell's rare ability to weave fascinating strands of Christian history and prophecy into edge-of-your-seat fiction has led to an extraordinary modern-day story that the reader should never forget.

Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here's another compelling piece of fiction (also by a Catholic author). Though I am usually annoyed by things apocalyptic, I was engaged by this novel. It bills itself as a "contemporary spiritual thriller," and I guess that describes it as well as anything. There was good characterization and a fast-moving plot. I didn't explore the footnotes, but there seems to be a wealth of actual information referenced, which could lead to further reading. What I enjoyed most was that I didn't figure it out. Will I read the next book in the trilogy? We'll see. I just might.

Excellent read. Full of twists and turns, and deeply enmeshed in Christianity. Takes on some difficult subjects with real life resolutions.
