Reviews

[Steven · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is strangely alarming that when you pick up this book and it’s like seeing what’s going on in this present day world of ours. A prophetic book penned in the mid 1990's that has whispers of 1984 and Brave New World. This “prophetic” book spins into reality the New Age and “political correct” doctrines of America into their freighting conclusions.

Starr Omega finds herself in a quandary when her job at the Office of Remedial History puts some things from the past that will stir her soul. Her job is to rewrite history to line up with the political correctness of the all-powerful government. In her research she finds clues that stir her soul and pushes her to find out the “Truth” that is really going on in the world. Starr’s pursuit of Truth will bring her into the cross-hairs of her employer as well as others.

Penned nearly three decades ago, this book puts a new light on what’s going on in this current world we are living in. We can only pray that what is penned in these pages will not come to light, but be warned, prophetic books and prophets don’t always get a grand reception.
