Dead Sea Rising

I haven???t read a Jerry B. Jenkins novel since I read the first couple of Left Behind books in high school. I picked this one up because it was his latest and I???d seen a YouTube video of him while he was writing it.

I don???t really know what to say about this book other than it feels incomplete. The beginning grabbed me but then it became apparent that this story was being dragged out. Every other chapter takes place in 2000 BC and I don???t really know how they connect to the present day chapters. The Manhattan chapters felt like it was short story material stretched out over the length of a novel.

The acknowledgements page mentions book 2 coming soon. Maybe it will be better? Or maybe it shouldn???t have been a multi-book series but rather condensed into one novel? I guess we???ll see.

Also the description of the book on this Goodreads page is NOT the book I just read. Maybe that???s the description to book 2?
