Halo of Brimstone

Kingdom Wars #3

by Jack Cavanaugh

This war is just getting started . . . Having thwarted a rebel angel Spectacle designed to kill a woman and child, Grant Austin finds himself being stalked by the notorious Nosroch, and he is swept back into action. Israeli Special Forces commando Rogan Dorn captures three demons during a daring raid, but not before they kill two members of his team. Empowered with Nephilim skills by the legendary ring of King Solomon, he goes after the being he believes is responsible for their deaths—rebel angel Nosroch. A showdown looms as time-hardened battle lines are blurred, pitting friend against friend, and Grant is plunged into another Spectacle—but this time it's one he helped plan.

Reviews

[Kristina · Rating 4 out of 5]

The conclusion of this trilogy picks up two years after the events of the last book, with Grant Austin once again finding himself embroiled in a fight between angels. While I think the second book was the strongest in the series, this left me wanting more. It does conclude well without any lose ends, but I've loved following these characters and seeing a fictional glimpse of the spiritual warfare that occurs daily. I particularly enjoyed the addition of Rogan, who was able to use Nephilim powers as a mortal due to his ancestry. I felt his character rounded out the main trio well- perhaps a spin off about his actions prior to this book?

Fiction About the Dark Side

I'm talking Satan (Lucifer) and his followers, and the behind-the-scenes battle of spiritual forces. You should definitely read the 3 books in this series in order. The author is a former pastor. He portrays angels according to his understanding of Scripture. Of course, there are things we don't know for certain about angels, so there will be differences of opinion. But see this series as a reminder that there are spiritual forces at work behind-the-scenes. Also, see the author's historical fiction.

This is the 3rd and final book in the Kingdom Wars Trilogy where the spiritual fight ramps up several notches throughout until the final climatic clashes where both sides good & evil call on each of their full forces to battle even each Commander of each side to see who will be the winner? Who will be the Victor!!?

I was looking forward to reading this..the series so far had been excellent. From the moment I cracked the cover..even before if I am honest...something felt off about this book. I quickly found out and it was the ring of Solomon. A demonic artifact with real world ties. I tried to push on but just couldn't finish.
Maybe at a later date but...not sure.

I love all of the Kingdom Wars book, but this just doesn't sit on the same level as the other two. It's still an absolutely epic story, but it didn't pull me in as much as the others.
