About the author
Gary Val Tenuta
17 books33 followersHaving had a life long interest in paranormal phenomena, esoteric lore, the supernatural, occult and ancient mysteries and basically anything that could be squeezed into those categories, it should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that these same elements would become the fodder for my novels and short stories. I grew up devouring Poe, Lovecraft and Roald Dahl and those writers definitely had a huge influence on me. I wonder if they realize what they've done? Maybe I should dig out my old 1920s-era Ouija board and let them know. Nah. Probably not a good idea.
I'm a book cover designer as well as an author with a degree in Social Psychology. My professional writing career began as a contributing writer for Fate Magazine in the 1990s. One of my feature articles about the mystery of the alleged secret military group known as Majestic-12 resulted in requests to appear on radio programs across the U.S. and Canada.
I'm thrilled that my most recent novel, a supernatural crime chiller entitled Ash: Return Of The Beast (Kindle & paperback) is receiving excellent reviews and has been compared to the likes of Straub, Koontz, Stephen King, Dan Brown and Dennis Lehane. Seriously? Well, at least according to the reviews. So I mean, you know... far be it for me to argue. LOL
The first four novellas and novelettes in my series of "Twisted Tales From The Files Of The Second Chance Limousine Service" are available individually on Kindle (99¢) or in a single volume entitled "Wanna Take a Ride?" also on Kindle ($2.99). The titles of those stories are "A Bite Out Of Time", "1st Avenue Annie", "Atonement" and "The Good Librarian". A fifth in the series ("The Prank") was released in June, 2014 on Kindle (99¢). Check out the trailer: https://www.goodreads.com/videos/6788... A 6th addition to the series is expected to be released in August, 2012.
I live with my big black cat, Bear, in a cozy condo in the Pacific Northwest where, when I'm not writing, or designing book covers for other authors, I may very well be watching America's Got Talent or The Voice or reruns of Seinfeld or I might just be relaxing out on the patio, grooving to the mellow sax-jazz stylings of Stanley Turrentine. Then again, you never know. I could be listening to Dwight Yoakum singing about "Guitars and Cadillacs and Loud, Loud Music". Either way, it's all good.

The Ezekiel Code – There are no Coincidences
Rating: 4 of 5
Author: Gary Val Tenuta
Available: Paperback
After taking over as director of a homeless shelter, seminarian dropout Ezekiel “Zeke” Banyon stumbles upon a mysterious document listing a strange series of phrases and numbers in his predecessor’s office. He and Angela Martin, a recently hired employee of the shelter, become fascinated with the odd phrases and codes. They set out on a journey which leads them to believe that the English Alphabet may in fact be a cipher of some kind; that built into the very fabric of the language itself are coded messages that have been there for centuries. But where did this code come from? What message does it contain? What are the implications to humanity?
Zeke and Angela soon find they are not the only ones interested in discovering the secret of the code. Other more nefarious and conspiratorial organizations’ power and future are in Zeke’s hands. Some want to protect him while others want him destroyed.
Gary Tenuta’s Ezekiel Code has elements of Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” as well as the adventure of Preston and Child’s “The Ice Limit”. Mostly, however, this novel is like an entire season of the X-files packed into one book. Tenuta covers a lot of ground and topics including: acoustic levitation, out of body experiences, area 51, ancient Catholic Church and Jesuit secrets, Mayan calendars and predictions, Isis and the great pyramids, Gematria, parallel universes, the Illuminati, conspiratorial organizations, parallel universes, electronic voice phenomenon, and more. This requires a fairly high suspension of disbelief factor by the reader and Tenuta does a good job integrating these diverse concepts into the story.
While English Gematria, which is the assignment of numerical equivalents of words usually associated with Hebrew, is the main concept driving the Ezekiel code, the pace of the novel can occasionally be interrupted by its frequent appearance. Regardless, I found myself engaged throughout the story and googling a number of the curious and fascinating concepts raised in order to learn more about them. Gary has clearly done considerable research in writing this novel. Fans of the X-files will enjoy The Ezekiel Code.

Gary Val Tenuta’s “The Ezekiel Code” is a fascinating read, and well-timed (2012 is vast approaching….). Some may shy away from its length, as it is over 600 pages long. Still, the chapters for the most part are quick, and I found it compelling to “read just one more chapter”….
The story in of itself is interesting. The only parts I found slow were the few where I felt as though something had been explained to another character before, thus myself, as the reader. Other parts were where codes were set out for new characters once again during a conversation, but honestly, I’d rather have it set out for me once again than have to flip back to find a relevant part in the text. This is pleasure reading after all! :)
Having read this book while stories of Nostradamus is playing on the television made me feel like I took a crash course on Mayan Mythology, Greek Mythology, studies of Ancient Egypt, Numerology, etc., etc., and more, all at the same time. We learn how the famous “Area 51” ties in, as well as “outerbody experiences” and taking control over our “Third eye”. Fans of Star Trek, Dan Brown, Dr. Who, The X-files, and a myriad of other entertainment venues will find at least one, if not several things, to relate to in this book. And even those who are not fans of these venues will become fans by the end – the last 200 pages went quite quickly for me, a non expert in any of these fields. I definitely felt like I learned some things after reading this well-crafted novel.
There are no coincidences. We are all connected. The author brings science and research from all over the world together, and downloads them into Zeke Banyon’s (and the reader’s) third eye, as we wait with baited breath to find out the fate of our precious world.

When homeless shelter manager, Zeke Banyon, begins seeing patterns of numbers everywhere in his life, he wonders if this is merely coincidence or whether something weird is going on. With research help from his assistant, Angela, Zeke slowly realizes that he’s onto something big; something that could change the course of the world, let alone what we believe about our history and evolution.
The Ezekiel Code is an clever, thought-provoking story of one man’s journey to save the world, whether he believes he can or not, and he often doesn’t. When Zeke eventually locates an ancient scroll and key, the suspense escalates into an exciting game of cat and mouse between Zeke, a mysterious group called the Brotherhood of the Nine Pillars and their enemy, the Illuminati.
Normally, I don’t read 675-page novels, but since the cover describes this book as a metaphysical, mystery, adventure, thriller, I couldn’t resist the combo of genres. And the growing romance between Zeke and Angela is a bonus. Gary Val Tenuta’s plot captured my interest from page one, and despite the many numerical discussions that often went over my head, I kept turning pages to see what would happen next. Occasionally, the editor in me wanted to take a pen and cut dialogue in places, yet The Ezekiel Code truly is an interesting read, so settle in and enjoy.

Zeke Banyon had no idea that on the fateful day Angela Martin walked into his office to apply for a position at the Seattle Waterfront Mission that his life would change forever - or that he was the 'chosen one' prophecied to somehow save the world from total destruction.
Gary Val Tenuta has written a suspense-filled book that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, hardly able to wait for what will happen next! The clues to Banyon's destiny just keep coming and he and Angela, along with professor Kline from a local community college, begin their journey to sort out all the information they have gathered which will lead them to the Ezekiel Code. A group of low-minded Jesuits are after this information in an attempt to place themselves in thier 'rightful place in the New world Order'. They follow the trio every step of the way, even to a mysterious place in the south of France called Rennes le Chateau where they uncover even more clues.
Mirium Flamel, whose studies in alchemy and DNA lead the crew to allow her to join the team, along with Alec Rajani, a physics proffesor who will aid them greatly in their effort to solve this puzzle and save the world from complete annihilation.

HIGH-CONCEPT ADVENTURE, AN UNFORGETTABLE BOOK
The Ezekiel Code is one of those rare books, that once you read it, you will never see the world in quite the same way – a mark of excellence in storytelling. It changes you because it opens a portal to so many fascinating concepts, some of which are right before your eyes, laced throughout our lives and history, and others, which exist just beyond our general understanding, that it will keep you thinking and wondering about what it presents long after you’ve read it.
As a story, The Ezekiel Code quickly became a ‘place’ I wanted to escape to every day. I grew attached to its main characters, Zeke and Angela, and accustomed to being a part of their world, and I didn’t want it to end. The characters are alive, fully formed people that seem very real, in richly detailed surroundings. They start out in the most ordinary of circumstances, but are drawn, through many twists and turns, through synchronicity, into a captivating mystery that begins to surround them and take over their lives. Their path is a dangerous and winding one where dark and light continuously battle for supremacy. Slowly, subtly, the main characters, and you, the reader, are taken down the rabbit hole, and you will wonder over & over again, could many of the things the author presents, be real, be true? There is a great deal of evidence to say that yes, much of it could be, and that only enhances an already engaging and compelling story. Indeed, this book is so loaded with mysteries & intriguing theories that a reader could then proceed to spend the next twenty years studying them with immense interest & zeal. Note: The Ezekiel Code could very well be the beginning of many an addiction to uncovering hidden truths, deep mysteries, secret societies, metaphysics, ancient knowledge, quantum physics, (and many other sciences and theoretical concepts that I will not mention for fear of giving too much away) – you have been warned!
I was struck by the breadth of knowledge and passion the author obviously has for his subject matter. In fact, this is one of those instances where I am as fascinated by the author, who embodies his work, as I am the story. Loads of research went into crafting this book. There are many novels that will razzle-dazzle you with technology, weapons, and smart, sophisticated “super-people” that none of us could ever relate to. These can be formulaic and forgettable. They may be good reads at the time, but they don’t stay with you, simply blending into a sea of similar stories. The Ezekiel Code transcends this, because it is at once relatable, yet so dense in what it offers, that you will find yourself bringing things up that you learned from this book in conversation with your friends & family, and engaging in absorbing and lengthy discussions for a long time to come.
The Ezekiel Code is high-concept fiction, with great action & adventure, and is a completely unique story with a powerhouse ending. An unforgettable read!

October 27, 2007Here's one for my To Buy list.
This was a recommended book from an email forum I'm on, so I read a few Amazon.com reviews. Here's a quote from one that made this think I'd like this book:
"The book is a trip! Entertaining, intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying all in one. But hard to catagorize. The X-Files meets One Step Beyond? Dan Brown meets Rod Serling? Religious thriller? Speculative fiction? Sci-fi? A little of each, I guess." - D. Monson

I normally love this type of theme, and was excited to read it, but I couldn't finish it. The two main characters had such cheesy, lovesick teenage dialogue/internal monologue, and the the pace just wasn't right. I made connections on page one, but the character was still making them on page ten. I finally got bored with it and put it down after a couple chapters.
May 28, 2012
This book is TERRIBLE. The dialogue is stilted, the plot is nonexistent (so far), the writing slaps the reader in the face saying "you're an idiot and I'm better than you" and after 35 pages if I never see this book again it will be too soon.
I had such high hopes, but this maudlin drivel is absolutely not worth investing my energy in further.

This book has a ton of information shoved into it. I was amazed by the information. Very good book.

Storyline: Zeke Banyon is perfectly happy living out his life at a homeless shelter, running the place quietly without the interference of the outside world. Just as his life begins to take an odd twist with too many co-incidences to believe, his new assistant, Angela Martin, comes into his life and wakes him up to the world through the use of computers and a different point of view. Not surprisingly, they hit it off quite well and are soon arm in arm and up to their armpits in a mystery bigger than either of them can imagine. An ingenious code from mysterious sources leads them on an unbelievable journey into the world of secret societies and ancient knowledge that has proven deadly to more than one interested party.
As the fabled "Chosen One", Zeke has a mission and though he remains skeptical through almost the entire book, he reluctantly finds himself in a position to accept his fate and avert a catastrophe of global proportions.
Lots of twists and turns. Lots of action and adventure and lots of numbers!
Grammar/Spelling:There were no issues with the grammar and spelling.
Character Development: I like the way the characters bond with each other and I like the way the author describes the character's looks, past history and other pertinent details without intruding on the storyline. I would have like a bit more modern word usage from the two main characters. At times, I thought that the protagonist must have grown up under a rock, but then realized that he had… more or less since he was into the theological side of life. His naivete about many of the subjects covered in the book are understandable. On a personal note, I would rather have seen them drink more and smoke less, but that's just me.
The characters are otherwise very well developed.
Writing Style: Mr. Tenuta certainly can write. His punctuation, grammar and style is easy to read and easy to follow. The action moves with a steady flow moving the reader from one character's point of view to another. His descriptive passages are well done, not too micro and yet enough to let the reader know what they are looking at, where they are and how it works. Good job.
As far as dialog, the conversation seems a tad stilted in some places, but overall much information was delivered in the conversations between the characters.
Last, I would just like to say that I thought the leading lady and the leading man got along TOO well. They should have had a few arguments or disagreements, you know? Thrown a few shoes around or something?
Continuity: No issues at all with continuity. Very well ordered, in fact… mathematical! Egad!!
Overall Rating: 4+
This was a mind book and since my mind is a shambles to start with, I have to say that I was suitably impressed when I began to dream about columns of mean, horrible numbers chasing me with ankhs! It was enjoyable and overall I'd recommend it to everyone who loved the DaVinci Code. Intriguing would also be a good word to describe the premise on which the story is based.

A "Dan Brown-style" mystery, the Ezekiel Code is an interesting exercise in numerology and cryptographic coding. Whether it will lead anywhere, and whether Val Tenuta can offer something different in a Vatican versus researcher story remains to be, um, read. This is the fifth book I've read on my new Kindle, and I figure I've saved half a tree already.
The sheer number of topics, relationships to numerology, the potential for alternate historical and spiritual concepts makes this an intriguing book. There was some plodding as basic spiritual concepts were explained (the main characters seem to have been shut off from the world), but I'd recommend this. It's not really heretical as some of the Dan Brown books go, but it's thought provoking in a universal way.

A very enjoyable read. A very interesting book that tied together numerology, biblical prophecies, ufo's, secret organizations, secret codes, modern and perhaps future technologies. Along with all of this, were some great characters, good guys and bad guys. A very satisfying read that kept my interest from beginning to end.
September 15, 2011
Interesting book. Several topics were googled such as Coral Castle, Vimanas, Theosophy, torus shell, EVP, and others. All the number phrases were tedious after a while. What struck me in the book was that the main characters smoked a lot. ... normally I don't see this in other books that I read. Overall good book and interesting technology.
October 30, 2010
The numbers were confusing because I have no math gene, but the premise was fascinating. Time is running out!!!
February 6, 2011
Really enjoyed this book, much more engaging than the Da Vinci Code
April 9, 2011
This book had a good story, but it was long. REALLY long. And it needed better editing. The "suppository of knowledge" just about put me over the edge.
July 30, 2011
Good book, but drug a bit. Went into a little more detail in parts than what was needed, but other parts made it fantastic. Overall I did enjoy it.

If you like Indiana Jones/National Treasure type movies, you will like this book.

I just couldn't get into this. Characterization needed some more work.
