I was waiting to see if anyone else had the feelings I developed from this book. Since I haven't seen then expressed as yet, I took it upon myself to bring it up.I really enjoyed the first book, and most of this second one, that is until the religious issue came slamming home. Its direction made me wonder about the writer’s real motivation here. In volume one, we have the Jewish religion invented by aliens out of whole cloth (with a highly possible premise). In volume two I became highly uncomfortable reading multiple horror stories about this terrible Jewish religion, including tales of narrow minded, intolerant Hebrews, and thieving, money grubbing Jewish priests who front for usurious money changers. Golly, where have I seen descriptions like that before?Coincidentally, we see a real person (not an alien invention)—who is the very antithesis of those nasty Hebrews—appear naturally out of the blue (not invented by the Aliens) to save the world...including the Aliens themselves.So, what do we have here, a science fiction story that started with an interesting premise of Alien intervention in our history or a typical 12th century passion play (see Oberammergau) about those nasty Jews?I haven’t seen Volume three as yet, but considering it is about the Reformation, I shudder to think where it will lead on this issue.Frankly, it would behoove that Mr. Henrikson come forward and declare himself as to his real motivations.
