He was also a religious leader, and a scammer who had many followers. Daniel is recruited and trained into a secret organization with great power. This Kindle book is a free Goodreads giveaway that is action packed with lots of twists and turns-very exciting! It was well written with very realistic characters. The story line made you frightened. Could this really happen? The ending left me hanging. The other books in the series are now very appealing.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. As a SciFy geek I enjoyed this book more than the usual conspiracy taleBy C. F. CroweI accidentally grabbed the first Daniel Byrne book by accident and really liked it. This one expanded the mystery of unexpected prophecy powers into a world spanning story.The depth of the scene descriptions rival the ability of any of today's fiction writers. This was a page turner for me. I am now going to pick up the # 3 of the series.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Book two of this trilogy is also good, but...By Linda StewartThe second book in this trilogy continues to be a good read. I will not review any further than that because I am not actually writing a book review. This is a warning! If you are interested in the trilogy, do yourself a favor and pass on this one. Book one two are both very good. Book 3 is abysmal!
