Review: Appallingly Bad

I didn't get much further than the point where I discovered this is right wing Christian fiction - a book with a very personal message. The author apparently believes that anyone who believes in a secular America is an ultra-left wing socialist (his words, not mine). How could he forget about all those communists that are in Congress??? I'm sure he'll get to them later in the book, although I won't be reading it.The ACLU attorney in this book is on a mission & his idealogy of "separation of church and state had been twisted into a vendetta to persecute the religious community..." "Many state and local governments...were forced to adhere to judge-mandated policies limiting a community's right to exercise religious acts or display religious art in public places."I assume the author rejects the first amendment, although possibly he is not even aware of it.Once the reader gets past this wing-nut view of the world, there is the appallingly bad writing. The dialog is stilted & verbose and the cardboard characters seem to be right out of the tv show "Father Knows Best". All the different forces coming together on the Canary Islands (archeologists, Japanese terrorist organization, Canary Island Security forces) seem to indicate that the novel is bound to become confusing & idiotic - although I won't be reading it. This is just another attempt to prove Jesus existed because proof exists all over the world - even in the Canary Islands.At least I got this novel for free. This is simply not worth reading & not worth spending any money on.
