My lastest Book Sneeze selection was The Seraph Seal by Leonard Sweet and Lori Wagner. This is a fictional look at the end times that is radically different from previous books in this genre. The book is set in the year 2048 and the main cast of characters are on a journey to put together a variety of clues that they have recently discovered. Little do they know but they are the ones who have been chosen to help humanity follow after God at the end of times. They are of course opposed by a man who is looking to dominate and rule over humanity. What unfolds is an adventure that brings together history, religion, philosophy, biology, chemistry, economics, technology, philanthropy and so much more. I felt that Sweet and Wagner told a good story, but it was a little slow in the beginning and also was a tad bit on the complex side. But I think that was necessary to fully explain how the world of 2048 is different from 2011. In order to fully grasp it you almost need to be thinking in terms of science fiction, or just fully engage your imagination. Overall I enjoyed this book and it only took around a week to finish. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it. Just remember to push out your own preconceptions about the end times while reading this book and I'll think you'll enjoy it for what it is.
