The premise sounds really intriguing, with a powerful message as well. However, dystopian books are not my forte, so I would pass this one. Thanks for the insightful review!

Dystopian novels are always interesting. I look forward to seeing Sarah and Ricky save the world. Thank you for the review.

Finally, the apocalyptic book that catches my attention. I am not a big fan of apocalyptic books. I don't fancy them because most times the plots do not offer humans the chance of prevention before everything collapses, this one is different. I also strongly think we as humans need to take these things seriously. We do not have control over most interstellar events and they can have an immense effect on our planet. What we do have some control over is climate change, so let us do something to slow it down and reverse the effect. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD.

This novel wants to look similar to what is happening around the globe COVID 19, the novel doesnt look like a fiction but like a reality. Great content and congrats on making the book of the day.

Thanks for your review. When I read plots like this, I can't help but think that the Creator is like a dictator. Once they are displeased with mankind, they will either try to destroy Earth or make humans live according to their plan.

I laughed hard reading this. Reminds me of how some people said the COVID-19 pandemic was God's wrath on humanity for our evil deeds. Great review!
I'm definitely reading this.

Even though I’m not Christian, I still appreciate biblical references woven well into a fantasy narrative—although with this story, I’d argue more for science fantasy with apocalyptic elements. The incorporation of aliens and a “Creator” is fascinating, and I really appreciate the author using the pandemic as a way to show that we need to be more compassionate and other ways we’ve become flawed and selfish (which is exactly the real-life outcome of the pandemic so far). It could be worth checking out. Thank you for the helpful review.

The story's premise is not exactly new. I found the inclusion of the pandemic quite disturbing, but it might appeal to other readers. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Definitely a must read for all because everyone can relate and share in their encounters with the pandemic.The authors use of biblical narration of how the virus came to be is a thumbs up, not forgetting the genesis and how vivid it is just awesome.

I don't quite agree that the Creator's heart is that way towards his creation. I hope I get hold of this thrilling plot.

The author borrows from the current Covid-19 pandemic and creates a dystopian future in which two-thirds of the world's population has been wiped out. Christians, especially, will enjoy this book since it alludes to biblical stories like those of Lot and Noah.
