Wow! This is one of those books that stays with you, I was thinking about it well after finishing it. Infernal Gates is about a man who somehow survives a plane crash.  The author introduces us to other characters from various areas in the world. They all seem to have one thing in common, their belief in God. But you really don’t know what else makes them part of the story.  As the story unfolds, you learn about their connections to each other.This is a story steeped in religion.  It does not focus on one particular one but rather the spiritual nature of the characters’ beliefs.  It is not preachy but does invoke a desire to be more spiritual.  It really made me think about prayer in particular.The action keeps the pace moving. This book never slowed down. I was whisked to diverse parts of the world, there was great fighting scenes, and amazing life or death confrontations.  I loved it!The characters were of various ages and cultures.  The author told the story while also teaching me about these different cultures.  I love learning about different cultures and this story was chock full.  It was also full of history.  Loved all the information about ancient times, imagining Iraq how it once was…the author really brought all that to life with his vivid descriptions.This story all comes together and you learn how the characters are connected in an epic good vs evil battle that has you furiously turning the pages.  It doesn’t have a cliffhanger but I could see another book with these characters as I don’t really think their stories are finished.  And that is what I am hoping!
