Book Review & a Giveaway: The Nephilim Virus

The Nephilim Virus has infected blood and altered human anatomy! Yet, Nick Reese’s blood seems to hold the key to immunity. Will he find others like him in time to stop a takeover of the human race, or will he, too, fail in the attempt?

Author John Prather was inspired by his storytelling grandfather. As an actor and model, John has seen the entertainment industry from the inside, and wanted to provide entertainment with Christian values. He says, “All the great themes, like redemption and sacrifice and love, of all the great stories are just tiny versions of the greatest story, God’s story. I want readers to connect to the greatest story by reading a book that has little glimpses of that story woven into it.”
From the first page, The Nephilim Virus is action packed; I couldn’t put it down! It weaves science fiction with apocalyptic events and provides surprises on every page. It explores a world where technology has crashed and people have to rely on their own ingenuity. It tests the limits of faith and trust in other people in dire circumstances. And it looks at the power of love to rescue impossible situations.
Some interesting questions raised include compromise of values when in danger, loyalty of friendship, and perseverance in hopeless times. Dr. Faith Richards stands at a crossroads in her research. Will she help the enemy?
If you like dystopian novels, you will love this one. John Prather uses fast pacing to keep the story moving, and creates believable characters. It will keep you reading to the surprising climax!
