Heavens Fire: an impressive light weight, ‘Davinci’, with the pace and plot of a, ‘Spooks’, episode, which is aimed at a large audience of readers who will find it controversial or painfully truthful. Nevertheless, the story is held up by insignificant detail such as the interior of a Bentley, which the majority of us - apart from the wealthy owners of the church - will never see or experience. However, that may be the point. Still, there is significant detail of information we would all raise an eyebrow within the short chapters that whisk you backward and forward within the plot, which results in a sprint of a read and not a marathon lesson in religion and politics about who is who. And, what is what to believe. But, do we care if Christ was made up of many parts from his past or that aliens were the first messiahs? I doubt it. Especially, in this modern selfish world that uses religion and it’s Gods as an excuse for human weakness. We need a book such as, ‘Heavens Fire’, to give us a shock upon the reality we choose to believe. You won’t know until you read it. Then, ask yourself: Do you care? |

| I was enthralled by this thriller from the start. I was gripped by the intrigue, the chase for answers and the characters embroiled in it. At times I found it hard to put down. It was exciting, believable and pacey. My only criticism is that I wanted more! A talented writer with a big future! | ||

| A rollercoaster thriller peppered with little known facts and theology, the latter starting lively debate with several acquaintances about religion and many other things. From England it starts off gently enough with a lecture at a university, and then ‘Indiana Jones’ style we’re whisked off around the world in a race against time to find Enoch’s missing scroll. Religious cults and a powerful secret underground society vie with an Oxford university professor and a female NSA agent to find the lost scripture. Parallels could be made with the Da Vinci Code, but this is snappier and more to the point rarely allowing the book to be put down. And it’s worth reading just for the real life, controvercial revelations that pop up throughout. A super debut novel that will stay with me for a long time, for many reasons. | ||

| When one first begins reading this book, you can't help but see the comparisons to The DeVinci Code; the actual true organizations, the hidden history, the man who dies with an encrypted message scrawled near him, and the expert in languages and theology. And the "challenge" as the author puts it, that things in our world are not quite what they seem. That being said, it is an interesting storyline, and once you have been gripped by the mysterious turns and quirks in the book, you don't want to put it down. It was entertaining, and if you want to accept the challenge, it is there for you. I, quite honestly like my faith just the way it is and am very defensive about my Jesus I have always believed that God is God, whatever name you call him, Budda, Allah, or Jehovah. But it is not a book solely about religious comparisons, and, the revealed truths about other organizations certainly rankled and gave more than food for thought. The book left you wanting more...more from the author so that you didn't have to puzzle it out for yourself. It is quite intriguing, and yes, it is challenging in more than one area. If you like murder, mystery and like to actually think, then this book is for you.It changed the way I felt about certain large organizations, and made me want to get others involved. I thoroughly enjoyed it! | ||

| A tactically brilliant and gripping tale narrated by a master story teller. The military scenes are written with an uncanny eye for detail and delivered with the unerring precision of a sniper rifle. First class. | ||

| This is an intriguing read from the start. Taking the reader on a roller coaster ride that they will not want to get off. Fact and fiction skilfully combined to great page turning effect. I finished this book and wanted to know more. Is there a sequel in the making? | ||

Clever, thought provoking and extremely well researched, Heaven's Fire has more twists than a Chubby Checker L.P. An MI5 investigation into a Freemason-like sect runs parallel to an Indiana Jones-type search for a lost scripture deep in the Holy Land to keep the reader on their toes like a six-year old at a sweet shop counter. If you are a fan of the Da Vinci Code - and who isn't? - then you will love this gripping thriller. Fact or fiction? Make your own mind up but one thing is for sure, more shadows have been cast over the very roots of that thing we have come to know as religion. Thumbs up! |
