This book is absolutely horrible and it's the first book I've ever returned to the store for a refund.
Don't bother with this book unless you enjoy reading books that seem as if they were written by a child.
I contacted TOR to ask them how they could have possibly published this book, since it seems like a huge mistake to actually offer this book for sale. I received no reply.
Utter garbage.

A strange 100,000 year-old manuscript in a long-forgotten language has been the basis for all the major religions throughout history. Lost and buried in a sarcophagus during the Second Iraq War, it holds the secrets of human birth and extinction.
Two children are born with transcendent talents and preternatural powers beyond human comprehension. Only they understand the magnitude of the disaster to come. They are the last, best hope for human survival.
Indelibly bonded, these enigmatic youths this brave new Adam and Eve are thrown against their wills into a headlong race to save the world.
My notes:
Aliens stranded on Earth predicted that an asteroid would hit Earth and that two people, a man and a woman in a couple, would become accidentally infected with DNA from the aliens, uniquely enabling them to save Earth.
The plot has some things taken from the christian mythology, but bare in mind that aliens have always been a touchy subject to christians. The story is a little off, and some ideas kind of difficult to digest, but if you are a sci-fi junkey like me, you can get over that and enjoy the story, believable or not. The middle drags a little and ending is OK.
Over all ok summer read but don't expect too much...

This book was just awful. My husband and I decided that the author had to be about 12 years old and must have paid someone to publish it. The story was terrible and totally unbelievable. The techno-talk was poor because it did not make any sense and was not researched or intelligent. The only thing that we got from this book was a couple of good laughs...but we were laughing for all the wrong reasons.
This is actually a very fast paced read....I couldn't put it down! If you like apocalyptic thriller type of books then this is a fantastic book!
This book sucks!
While the story was interesting, I found the writing to be horrible. There was no cohesion in the storyline and hardly any character developement. I do not agree with the review in this book ssaying it reads, "like Left Behind on steroids". It did not come anywhere close.
If you like books about the end of Earth as we know it this book is for you. When I started reading I could not put it down, but then all the science fiction terminology and details made me slow down. Overall, I liked the book even through the sci-fi stuff was too detailed for my liking and it had a weak ending. A nice short read.
Exciting throughout. Good read although I was slightly disappointed the ending was lackluster.
This is actually a good book, even if the dialog is sometimes a bit stilted. It is not your everyday end-of-the-world story. There are plenty of twists abd original ideas. Well worth the read.
