I like that not all characters are perfect and/or likeable – it gives depth to the story. Thanks for the review.

Interesting storyline. It'll be intriguing to read about the connection between the stone found by Kurt and the murder case. Great review.

I love that this sci-fi fantasy thriller focuses on good versus evil. The fact that the story involves a newly developed microchip implanted into a person's right hand that enables them to conduct business simply by having the microchip scanned certainly grabs my attention. I also love that the story includes attributes such as faith, loyalty, friendship, and family values. Thanks for the review!

Ahha... Prophecy and latest science in one book. Though it's really a catchy topic now a days. But this reading seems interesting. As in review it sounds read in one go. Would like to add this in my bookshelf "want to read".

I am keen to know why only Kurt could touch the stone and the secrecy behind it. The review looks like a promising storyline which would make the readers excited to know more. Thanks for the review. Congrats on BOTD!

:shock: Stone of Gabriel by Gary A. Pattillo is about three young man who discovered a green stone that was special, but could only touched by one boy. At the end of my reading the boy tipped the cops that the person they where arresting was not a human because the stone made the boy see that, which made his friend believe him only, the cop didn't. I enjoyed reading the sample wish to read all of the book. :tiphat:

A sci-fi fantasy thriller that highlights the fight between good and evil. The author creates a great balance highlighting good values and offsets them with evil characters who add to the build-up of the story. I am curious as to what the link between Kurt and Detective Bailey and the stone is. Great BOTD, great review!

Lately I enjoy science fiction fantasy novels. The stone which only Kurt could hold reminded me of Harry Potter. It sounds very suspenseful. Thank you for your review!

So this one is full of mystery and yes many would like to know how the story continues including myself. I like that it doesnt push religion on anyone for evil and Good are part of all cultures including those who may not believe in a deity. It is worth the read. This review alone is enough to engage anyone even though the target audience is young Adults.
