If you loved the mystery and intrigue of the popular Da Vinci Code book, you will enjoy The Seraph Seal. A book in the same symbol-laden style, it incorporates theology, prophecy and faith into the story line while developing characters that soon become almost real to the reader.
Set in the future, the book revolves around a cast of nine main characters who slowly come together in a battle of good and evil as the earth self-destructs around them. The characters must put the clues together and take their sides in the cataclysmic end of the age. I can't say much more than that without giving juicy information away. The historical parts feel accurate and the symbolism is the type that one can't really grasp in just one read. The story is woven and it is fascinating.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit and it really got me thinking about how very many different perspectives there are on science, theology and end times. This book offered one "what if..." idea and it was entertaining and thought-provoking. While I am not sure I buy into their ideas, I still found them fascinating to consider.
I really enjoyed all of the visuals included in the book; they aided my understanding immensely. The authors also provide additional information in the foreword and two appendices. This book is the total package.
Recommend? Definitely.
