Book Review of The Seraph Seal

The Seraph Seal

Reading that this was a post-apocalypse novel with the four horsemen, I really wanted to read this book! It reminded me alot of The Davinci Code by Dan Brown but with more. The main protagonist is a professor who gathers a team and they work to make sure what has happened, won't happen again. There are subtle clues throughout the book and although it will please the reader to catch them, it all comes together at the conclusion. The characters are pretty much leading you to where you should be, or think you would be. The ending left alot to be desired. Although the premise is for how the world could end or maybe not, as a devout Christian, I didn't agree with it. Good versus evil is a tried and true format but when it comes to the end of the world, only God will judge.

Heavy on symbolism, religion and new age thinking, The Seraph Seal will keep your attention as these nine individuals' lives intersect. I loved the journals and notes of Paul Binder, the history professor. I used it alot to check different things like maps and news clippings. At the back of the book there is also an Alphabet of the Apocalypse: Reading the Signs of the Times which is also interesting reading. This book would make for a great discussion!
