The book, Seeking the Light of Justice is a science fiction and fantasy novel written by Barry Nadel. This is the first part of the Hoshiyan Chronicles Series. This book is about Professor Yoshua and his team searching for the legendary King.

This book is around 400 pages long and divided into thirty-nine chapters. The story begins when the archeologist, Professor Yoshua Rosenberg received a letter concerning Joseph Lopez who was related to the legendary King, the Light of Justice. In that letter, he hoped to find a clue regarding the Light of Justice, which led him to a museum. But that went in vain. Similarly, when Yoshua tried every possible way to get to the legendary King, the pope in the Vatican City was alarmed. So, what do you think the pope has to do with the Light of Justice? Who exactly is the Light of Justice? And did Yoshua find him? Well, to know the answers to these questions, you much read this book.

I highly appreciate the author’s imagination and creativity. He has beautifully narrated all the scenes. His writing is crisp and eloquent which makes it easier for people to read and understand. The best part of this book is that I got to learn a lot about archeology, the things that are dug and discovered. Also, the author has talked about the Vatican City, the pope, and their culture, which I found highly interesting. This book is filled with suspense and adventures that kept me on my toes the entire time. My favorite character has to be Professor Yoshua Rosenberg. His intelligence, confidence, and attitude are commendable. And the credit for this goes to the author.

Overall, I had a great time reading this book. There is nothing much that I disliked about this. However, the font and spacing of the text were inconsistent throughout the book, which did not give a professional look to it. Also, this has many characters and that can be confusing at times.

I found an error while reading this book. So I assume that this book is well-edited. But still, it can go through another round of editing because of the above-mentioned formatting errors. So, with that being said, I rate Seeking the Light of Justice 4 out of 4 stars. I have given this a perfect score because of the intriguing story that kept me gripped throughout. I do not have a strong reason the rate this any lower.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading suspense and thriller novels. This may not be suitable to be people who do not like fantasy books.

The Light of Justice sounds like a great story in the genre of sci-fi and fantasy. I guess that this book suits me, you stated that this book is recommended to the readers who enjoy suspense and thriller novels, and I'm really into suspense novels. However, the inconsistency that you mentioned made me step back. I really hate it when there is no consistency to the front and spacing because my eyes always have a hard time adjusting. But I really want to read it, maybe after the author undergoes another round of editing, I'll read it. Thank you for your wonderful review, I appreciate reading it. I hope I will be able to read this book.

This is a very interesting story. I found myself creating a parallel script based on the character's names. I can't help wondering why the pope is so alarmed and what he has to do with the Light of Justice. Thank you for your engaging review and your introduction to this book.

You mentioned that people who like suspense and thriller would like this book, so I'm definitely intrigued by that and may pick it up! But you also mentioned there are many characters in the book and that's something that I find a bit distracting and hard to follow through, so I'm a bit 50/50! But thanks for the review!

Thanks for your enticing review, it's not the type of book I'd usually want to read but you have made me very curious.
The best part of this book is that I got to learn a lot about archeology, the things that are dug and discovered.
That would interest me too. I like fiction that's educational.

I really like this review. The summary reminds me loosely of a book I read called “Summer of the Second Coming”. This one involved skeptical Vatican officials, but not the pope. I am intrigued by the use in science fiction.

As a lover of science fiction, I will enjoy this book. However, the many characters' names in the book are off-putting to me. I will read this book in the nearest future. Thanks for the great review.

The book seems to have a great plot. Coupled with the fact that it is a fantasy genre made it desirable to me. The summary of the book alone sold the book to me, and I can't wait to read this book. Despite the inconsistency in fonts and spacing, which I hope it would have been resolved before then, I won't be deterred from reading it.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.
