God's Lions - Realm of Evil
Driven into hiding in the French Pyrenees by the advancing forces of a new one world government, Cardinal Leopold Amodeo receives a mysterious radio message from an unknown source in Northern Europe inviting him to a secret meeting. Fearful of a trap, and with time running out as a web of evil spreads across the globe, he must decide if he should leave the safety of his friends in an ancient Cathar sanctuary to travel alone into the far reaches of the north to meet with a man who may hold the key to their salvation. In this, the fourth book in the "God's Lions" series, the non-stop action moves across the European continent as the cardinal and his dedicated team of scientists, code-breakers, archaeologists, and intelligence specialists join with others to face their greatest challenge yet in a climactic confrontation with an evil entity that has vowed to wipe them from the face of the earth. For those who enjoyed the first three novels in the series, this book is a must read! *Note to The first book in the series, "God's Lions - The Secret Chapel", is currently in development for a major motion picture.

This book has so much going on it just gets crazy
There is a papal conclave; a missing woman; the antichrist's birth mom (not a jackal), his adoptive mom, the Pope's brother, a Norwegian legend of cursed ground, The Cathars, the NWO,
I had to read it to see how it ended...

Creepy prologue!
I was scared to begin reading this book, and it had a scary beginning! I was also wondering how it would end with only twenty pages left to go. It ended quite well, and all the bits between were quite good as well. This series could end here, but I hope it didn't. It's been a strong series so far, with each book being an excellent read. Given the amount of time since this book was published, it does appear to be the last... sad.

Finished
This series of books was a really good read. I'm at a loss to rate it did to the wholesale destruction of the Catholic faith by the author. It would have been much better had you stayed within the bounds of the truths within the Church, so I'll just include my warning to future Catholic readers. This is fiction. Know the deep truths of our Holy Mother Church.

Excellent Take on Revelation in the Bible
A deeply interesting and satisfying series, God's Lions has wonderful characters who work together and include others in a spiritual fight against evil incarnate. The battles take place in various countries with biblical history as a dramatic backdrop. Fascinating.

Praying it's in the works John Lyman. ******

This is the last volume of the series "God's Lions. John Lyman did a very good job in the first two books: building strong characters and the plot is a real page turner. According to me he also did some good Bible research, but he's quit wrong when he writes about the origins of the Cathars. But once in Part III, with the establishment of the the realm of the Evil on Earth, it goes down. The Vatican, Israël and individual experts (scientists, clergy, military) join forces to combat the Evil ... and the end is a bit confusing and really disappointing.

Extremely Good Series
This Four book series is excellently written and you'll find yourself going from book one right through the whole series. Couldn't put them down, so many twists turns and surprises. Great characters you'll mourn finishing the last book because it is the Last! Hope Mr. Lyman continues writing. I'll be watching for more by this excellent author.

Ok!
Good .....don't leave us hanging....need more on this group. Four books is definitely NOT enough! Please don't abandon them they are a great bunch of characters and we haven't had an offspring yet either.

Awesome Book
This book is so fantastic that I'm not even sure that I will be able to do it justice. This is the best of the three books. You never know what the next twist is going to be

I have loved this series of spiritual thrillers with their loveable characters and intriguing plot lines. Now I'm hoping Lyman is not done, but has another novel to add to the series.

WONDERFUL !!!
Read all four of the God's Lions book. They are truly page turning and I couldn't put them down until I finished all four. I hope more in this series is forthcoming.
