Midnight Hour: As America Faces Its Final Crisis, the Choices Become Intensely Personal
A country without a president. A world without a leader. Three men poised on the brink of supreme power. When people choose tyranny over chaos, no place on earth is safe.
His breathing came in short, racing puffs, and Pope Xavier clutched his heart as though it might fail. Fortunately it had only been a dream.
"My little father?" a sweet voice asked, and his old heart skipped a beat. "Blessed Mother of God," he whispered in Latin as he slid from the bed and onto his knees. "Tonus tuus. I am yours."

Gavin grinned. He gripped Jack hard with both hands and jostled him. Jack began to wail, and Gavin laughed. "It is time for a ceremony that has been out of practice for a few thousand years. This child belongs to Molech now. He is a gift from me. With him, I will secure Molech's favor. Take the stones you have gathered and build a table, an altar, if you will, and pile brush wood on top of it.

Midnight Hour is the heart-thumping sequel to Céleste perrino Walker and Eric Stoffle's Eleventh Hour - an end time drama that reads like today's headlines. Things that once seemed preposterous become the common fare of TV talk shows and news magazines. As you read, remind yourself that this is just a story. Then ask yourself two questions: For how long? and... who will be able to stand?

About the author
Céleste Perrino-Walker
35 books61 followersI’m drawing a line in the sand. It’s time to leave behind old, boring ideas of what Christianity is all about. It’s not sweet. It’s not prissy. And it’s certainly not boring. God is a relevant power in our lives, and yes, living His way can get messy. It can even get dangerous . . . to our pride, our arrogance, and our preconceived notions. But wouldn’t you rather live an exciting life connected to the source of all power in the universe than skulk in the shadows wondering how and why your life makes a difference?
In my writing, I try to demonstrate what that kind of dynamic Christian life looks like. My books are meant to be more than entertaining. They are meant to be life-changing. So if you want to come along, hold on. It’s going to be a wild ride.

As a thriller, this is an entertaining work. As an exposition of Adventist eschatology, it left somewhat to be desired. While its portrayal of the fearful persecutions of "Remnant Believers" and the diabolical schemes of an evil confederacy were chilling, it left out or skimmed key parts of the Adventist Last Days timeline (such as the impersonation of Christ or "the time of Jacob's trouble"). Also, I must confess that I found the romantic plot-line a futile dead-end, as the engaged characters are translated to heaven, where there is no marriage.
I'm under the impression this book (and its prequel) may have been published as a response to the Left Behind craze, and may have originally accompanied a Bible study plan. However, unless used with such a plan, I would instead recommend "The Edge of Eternity" by Elaine Egbert for those wanting a fictionalized account of SDA eschatology.
