I have to say that I was quite impressed in this summer read called the Apocalypse Cult by Alex Siegel. The first thing that comes to mind about this book is that you can not judge a book by it's cover. Just look at the cover. This book has a little bit of everything in it. It has action, a little romance (between Aaron and Marina), intrigue, suspense and faith. In my opinion, this is an amazing book. I never in my life could of thought up the story that God had his own soldiers that worked behind the scenes with the mentality that the mission must be completed at all costs. I was very intrigued by this story. I have always heard about cults who brainwash their follows but had never read a story that was centered around this concept. Personally, I loved the characters in the Gray Spear Society , because unlike me they were willing to give up their old life to help protect and save others. Often times losing their own life in the course of this protection. I will have to say that my favorite character was Marina. She was given a very awesome gift. She had fingernails that were poisonous. She could control when the poision came out and how much. Think about how awesome that would not to kill somebody but if you were in a unwanted situation you could just put the person to sleep to escape. How cool would that be?
