This book certainly looks like a joy to read. to have a person's entire ideology all resumed in one book is like knowledge presented in a silver platter

I did not know that Newton had studied religions. I am definitely interested in reading this book. Thank you for your review.

This book is a real history lesson. That's what I liked the most about it. For instance, I always knew that Isaac Newton was considered one of the greatest scientists of all time (probably the greatest ever). However, I had no idea that he had spent so much time studying the Bible. For him, there was no separation between science and religion. That was fascinating.
I knew this, but I don't think Isaac Newton meant to create a full-on war. The combination of religious fanatism with unlimited resources seems deadly.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review!

This promises to be one of those books I cannot put down once I start reading. I am curious how the religious fanatics meant to prepare the way for Christ. Great review.

This book seems to be taking the cultist theme to a whole new level. The fact that the group is willing to go as far as to perform terrorist actions that could potentially start world war 3, and that they are led by a billionaire gives this story a thrilling factor and certainly makes it more interesting than many stories with the theme. In addition to that, the fact that Newton was added to the story is another factor that sets this story apart from another, as well as a history lesson for people that did not know how religious Newton was. All in all, this definitely seems like a book to read.

Thrillers based on religious sub context are my favourite. This book seems like it has a good science angle thrown in with a prominent name. The review makes me want to read the book immediately. Will get back with a full review then. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

This has been said before, but I think it sounds a lot like the Da Vinci's Code, but with a scientist. It can be an interesting proposal, yet I do not know if it intrigues me enough. I would like to know more about if there is a twist to this kind of story. Thanks a lot for your review, it is very clear and nice.

It's interesting to learn that Newton believed religion and science were related, as religion is faith and belief, and science is facts you can see. The beginning of the book is intriguing, where everyone's devices lost service at the same time and then came back at the same time. Sounds like a suspenseful thriller!
