Review of Seeking the Light of Justice
Seeking the Light of Justice is a suspense-thriller fiction piece by Dr. Barry Nadel. The novel is the first in a series about Israeli archaeology professor Yoshua Rosenberg and his revelation of his true identity. The story revolves around Yoshua and his colleagues, who are on a quest to learn the truth about the "Light of Justice" in modern-day Israel.
The book opens with the folklore of a King and his actions of fairness and justice, dubbed the "Light of Justice" by his followers. The Light of Justice stories was based on three principles: righteousness, faith, and justice. Yoshua, an archaeology professor, is intrigued by the legitimacy of the "Light of Justice" and embarks on a journey to uncover documented evidence of its presence in the actual world. While looking for it, he came across a 500-year-old book whose bindings showed the cover page of General Aharon Dori's Hoshiyan Chronicles. As pleased as Yoshua was about the discoveries, his team was equally as surprised since the book contained a profound secret that Yoshua was unaware of. What was the secret that had been kept from Yoshua for so long? What are the consequences if Yoshua discovers the truth?
This novel is exceptional in its writing style and narrative, with the ability to never completely reveal where it's heading while yet capturing the reader and preserving a rhythm that something special is calling. There were no dull moments in this fast-paced, action-packed drama. I felt as if I were in the scene, a part of the action as the author's story developed. The characters were well-written, the settings were well-described, and the dialogue was clear. The tale flowed well, with clever twists and turns. It is one of those stories that will linger with you for days. The language used was simple to grasp, and the structure was straightforward. There were no grammatical faults, making it a well-edited novel.
The stories in the book were inspiring and conveyed powerful messages. However, it was strongly religious, which may turn off non-religious readers. The novel also contains some violent scenes that may distress sensitive readers. Nonetheless, I had a fantastic time reading the exciting and mysterious tale.
Having said that, I rate this work 4 out of 4 stars. The novel's adventure is historical, religious, and archaeological, straddling the boundary between fiction and non-fiction. It would please a large number of readers. I would suggest the book to both religious and historical readers. Avoid reading this book if you are uncomfortable with religious and spiritual teachings and violence.
