John Hunter is a crowd controller working in Los Angeles for BlackSky, a private security firm. His life changes the night an alien spaceship arrives in our solar system. Amid the chaos and turmoil that follows, he rescues a beautiful Christian girl, Angela, drugged at his nightclub.
The aliens announce that they want to help humanity, but first insist that we renounce all religion before they will gift fabulous technologies that would save the planet and admitting humanity into the greater Galactic community. The religious leaders condemn the aliens, labelling them as modern day manifestations of the Devil and AntiChrist, but the corporate and political leaders see only opportunities. The world is soon divided along religious and secular lines, nations and families are divided in keeping with the Biblical prophesies of End Days. John is torn between his secular, worldly life that he knows and his ill-fated love of Angela, a woman unlike any other he has ever known.
Too long, too simple and too pedestrian. If I didn't want to finish the book I would have quit long into it. The idea of Christian faith is too simple and the non-Christian faith is to deep.
