But what if a chosen few were raised from the dead? Two thousand years ago Jesus resurrected his friend, Lazarus, who founded a secret organization: SOAR. Since then Jesus has added to the resurrected\u2014The Awakened\u2014to aid Lazarus in SOAR&#8217;s battle against Satan&#8217;s slaves, the UnVeilers. The threat is escalating. The UnVeilers have stepped up their attacks on mankind through a charming leader and a devastating series of bombings in Dubai and Tel Aviv. But the invasion doesn&#8217;t stop with international terrorism. The UnVeilers are searching for a secret that Jesus embedded in Lazarus\u2019 journal that not even Lazarus knows\u2014and it will determine the fate of mankind. After a failed cyber-attack against SOAR&#8217;s computers, Lazarus and his team of experts must find the secret before the UnVeilers do. What clue is he overlooking that could turn the tide of this ageless conflict? The souls fighting with Lazarus are weary, but the war against evil is far from won. Can Lazarus and his team set aside their longing for heaven and put a stop to these satanic attacks before it&#8217;s too late?<\/div>\n<p><strong>Series:<\/strong> The Lazarus Chronicles (Book 1)<br \/>\n<strong>Genre:<\/strong> Adult Thriller<br \/>\n<strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Mountain Brook Ink (September 13, 2018)<br \/>\n<strong>Page Count:<\/strong> 360 pages<\/p>\n<p>I won this book as a prize in Jill Williamson\u2019s marketing class at Realm Makers last year in St. Louis. I wasn\u2019t hugely intrigued by it at first, but I have so might as well read it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><!-- more -->The Plot<\/h2>\n<div>This more of a supernatural thriller because there are some fantastical elements. It\u2019s one of those hidden world type books where a struggle of good and evil hides in plain sight like Mortal Instruments or the Spiderwick Chronicles. Most of the bad guys are demon-possessed resurrected people called UnDeads. The book focuses on thwarting terrorist plots around the world, but there are also a lot of subplots\u00a0that focus on characters. One prominent one is characters reading Lazarus\u2019s diary that focuses on his experiences after being resurrected by Jesus. It was interesting seeing his point of view of the Crucifixion.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The drawback of these Awakened who can\u2019t die or be hurt is there isn\u2019t much of a sense of peril for them. There\u2019s some for the people they\u2019re protecting but I was a little puzzled by some of these Awakened needing to be protected. I mean torture wouldn\u2019t work because they can\u2019t be hurt.<\/p>\n<p>This is heavily CBA. Most of the characters are Christian and this is targeted to a Christian audience because characters frequently pray and some go to church. It\u2019s the exception, not the norm in this group to be non-religious. When one character comes back to life some people in the church suspect him of demon possession or that he went to hell when he died and not heaven. It\u2019s hard to believe there are people still like that anymore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The Characters<\/h2>\n<div>It\u2019s hard to define the main character in this book because the story goes into so many points of views. I thought it was going to be Bobby, a newly resurrected man, but it turned out to be more like Lazarus which I preferred because Lazarus is the most interesting character. I mean there\u2019s so much to unpack about a man who\u2019s lived for over two thousand years and has met famous people of history. He also has a decent character arc.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>My other two favorite characters were Ariella and Ricki. Ricki seemed the most human. She deals with a lot of deep issues and I like her little something-something with Lazarus. Her dealing with PTSD was really accurate. I liked the detail of her having the aversion to the color yellow.<\/p>\n<p>Ariella has a kind personality and her love for The Wizard of Oz is cute. Matthew, Lazarus\u2019s Polish friend, was cool too. Yay for Polish peeps!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>None of the other characters were particularly striking to me. The bad guys were interesting and definitely evil. Their obsession with naming things after their objectives were interesting like \u201cmerikh\u201d meaning \u201cdeath.\u201d I also felt like the portrayal of Middle-Eastern people was fair. I\u2019ve read another book that was just outright racist about middle-eastern terrorism, but this one felt far more realistic. Bad and good characters are shown. A prominent character named Assam is middle-eastern and a young UAE girl pressured into becoming a suicide bomber and a large plotline is trying to save her from it.<\/div>\n<h2>The Setting<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>Most of the book is set in Seattle and The United Arab Emirates which are two interesting places.<\/p>\n<h2>Epic Things<\/h2>\n<p>The best scene to me was when Lazarus and Ricki went to Washington DC and sat in an orchard of cherry blossoms with one red oak tree. It was a really pretty picture. I also appreciated the brief Lord of the Rings reference.<\/p>\n<h2>The Theme<\/h2>\n<p>The main theme is that all life is precious (P 295). The members of SOAR, the resurrected people organization, prioritize the lives of Naturals (normal people) at all costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Content Cautions<\/h2>\n<p>This is an adult thriller so there\u2019s gonna be some violence. This includes suicide bombings, throwing up blood, a detailed account of the Crucifixion, a bad guy threatening to drop a baby off a roof, and then some gunshots and bombs going off. The most severe amount of content is the mention of an incest child rape. Also, someone chews tobacco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>What We Can Take Away For Our Writing<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What To Do If Someone\u2019s Heart Stops &#8211;<\/strong> In this book someone\u2019s heart stops and immediately the doctors resort to a defibrillator to shock his heart back into beating. This is incorrect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How this can be applied to writing:<\/strong> It\u2019s very theatrical in movies, books, and shows to shock someone with a defibrillator or inject them with adrenaline, but to save some from death your best bet is chest compressions to keep blood flowing to the brain. Do your research.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>This book was decent.
