Very Exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two best things you can say about a Book are; One, I could not out it down and Two, I want more (I smell another trilogy coming). The reveling; The Time Is Now is the third book is L.A. Marzulli's Nephilim series. All three books (Nephilim; The Unholy Deception and The reveling) are excellent, action packed and are a very exciting read's. Without giving too much of the plot of the series away, lets just say that this series is the X-files meets the Holy Bible. Marzulli Bases the series on The Bible especially the book Of Genesis chapter 6; the BOOK of Jude; many of the Biblical prophecy's such as those in the Book of Daniel, Ezekiel (especially Chapters 38-39); Matthew (chapter 24) the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ; and on the extra biblical book, the book of Enoch. Even those this series is fiction it contains much truth and just may be blueprint of things to come. Its an exciting Sci Fi (more then Sci Fi) read and I would recommend it to all.

Wonderful!!!

This book is one of three books in this series.TO fully understand it you need to read nephilim and then Unholy Deception first. This author is terrific and if you read one of his books you will want to read them all. I got hooked on the first book and have been eagerly awaiting this book for along while.Do yourself a favor and read these books. You will not be disappointed!!!

Marzulli's `The Revealing' Delivers Real Suspense

Marzulli's `The Revealing' Delivers Real Suspense By Thomas Horn RNU News Sr. Reporter Published Friday November 26, 2004 Sisters, Oregon (RNS) - When I grow up I want to be a master storyteller, like Lynn Marzulli is. As one of Christendom's most prolific fiction writers he has delivered another slice of doomsday suspense that boils into a page-turning nail-biter. In, "The Revealing," the story picks up with former reporter Art "Mac" Mackenzie, and Johanen, his spiritual mentor, as a mysterious shining light-thought by many to be a reemergence of the Bethlehem Star-appears over Jerusalem. Within days Mac and his comrades are surrounded by the minions of Azazel, a Jekyl-and-Hyde shape-shifting demon, who thrusts them-and the world-into a terrifying battle for survival against the diabolical organization known as the Cadre. The light above the Holy Land portends well for Azazel, but why? On the way to finding out, we encounter the astonishingly creepy and succubus-like creature, Sene, as she seduces one of the series' most interesting newcomers, Fitzpatrick. This is just one of Marzulli's chapters that will raise the hair on the back of your neck. As the plot thickens and we are drawn into an increasingly complex web of intrigue, a secret community of homeless men and women are uncovered living beneath the streets of New York. A sense of impending terror arises in this subterranean world known as "the Condos" as Jamaican transient, Rastaman, is discovered severely burned. When questioned about what happened, he nervously points below ground, groaning, "Sometin' got to me, mon, down there.... Some kin' of monster.... There's sometin' comin' up from da deep places in da earth." The mysterious entity that attacked Rastaman, is later manifest in a church where readers discover its true identity. Johanen warns Mac and Thomas to stay behind him as he confronts the creature, admonishing them that, "whatever happens, don't look into its eyes." Guided by Johanen, Mac comes to understand that saving the world depends not only on stopping this thing but also upon recovering a missing disc and deciphering the sudden mysterious deaths of Vatican officials. As the world readies for the appearing of Antichrist, shadowy ingredients began falling barn-fire fast into twists, turns, scares and surprises that take our breath away, while the author weaves his masterful series into a chilling conclusion between extraordinary centuries-old powers. You know that old saying that "a sequel is never as good as the original"? Lynn Marzulli must have skipped that class because The Revealing is a tour de force, a climactic encounter in every way as riveting as the first two books of the Nephilim Series - and they were terrific!

Spectacular conclusion to a terrific trilogy

This entire series was uniquely creative and all 3 books held my interest completely. I wouldn't have thought all the loose ends and unanswered questions could be wrapped up so nicely in The Revealing. That alien invasion could be the Great Deception of the Bible is plausible, though never what I had imagined. (I always thought the Great Deception would be secular humanism--and I still think so....but this is still great fiction no matter what your beliefs.) The aliens are actually demons in this story. This premise could have resulted in a ridiculously unbelievable book, but that is not the case here. This is a story you can really get into; a real treat to read. It is very well-written and action packed. I can honestly say there's never a dull moment in the whole trilogy. The characterization was not exceptional, but pretty good for a plot-based novel. I recommend buying all 3 in the series at once, so you can progress from one to the next without having to wait!

A great trilogy

Once again Marzulli has provided us with a fast paced thriller complete with new characters. Fitzpatrick is a welcome addition to the Nephilim universe. His encounter with Sene will chill you to the bone. This one has it all. Action, political intrigue, religious themes, and inspirational overtones.
