Zeke is. One of his favorite professors from the college years has passed on two scrolls and their translations. One scroll was written by Lot; yes, the Sodom and Gomorrah Lot. The other by Enoch. The King James Version of the Bible says very little about Enoch, but there is a Book of Enoch in with the Lost or the Forgotten Books of the Bible that I purchased at Amazon. This book says Enoch invented writing.The scrolls give enough info to pin down the location of those two sinful cities God destroyed by fire and brimstone, and suggest the entrance to Hell is nearby.Zeke is a pious man. He's noticed a few crimes by guilty people who swear the devil made them do it. The most recent was the murder of his parents and sister. He'll be happy to eliminate such suffering and he can afford it. He inherited several million dollars when his whole family died.Zeke's girlfriend nearly died from the madman's rifle as well. He waits for Leah to heal before leaving. As she heals he picks her brain. Her boss conducted business in the middle east. Leah knew who to call for a dig on the edge of the Dead Sea. Even before arriving an archeologist has had the salt crust, the consistency of concrete, chipped away and removed from the exact area Zeke wants to zero in on. Divers and back up divers have been hired as well as an underwater demolition expert, a man who turns out to work just as well above ground. The team is only told they are looking for a city. Four people know about the chance that the city will lead to Hell.And here is where I leave you. If this was made into a movie with all the imagery this author includes, every ticket should come with some Depends.But I must admit I was disappointed with Zeke at the very end. He included an unusual person on this dig because he wanted to prove he had the ability to do something. That blew up in his face. The end of the book shows Zeke to be a flawed hero, in other words, a human. He lacked that very ability he wanted to boast about.Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:8
