Fuse of Armageddon
By Sigmund Brouwer & Hank Hanegraaff
Review by Roseanna White

 

I’ve read a lot of books about the eventual second coming of Christ—the fiction, and a few of the nonfiction.  I’ve studied Revelation, I’ve spent long hours thinking about what it all might mean.  I’m not alone in that, I know.  Millions of Christians, of Americans, are preparing themselves for the End.  But not until I read Brouwer & Hanegraaff’s novel Fuse of Armageddon did I stop to wonder who I might be hurting with my beliefs.

Jonathan Silver is a well known TV preacher who’s been made famous for his studies of the End Times.  So when he and his tour group go missing from Jerusalem, it’s news that rocks the world.  Professional hostage negotiator Mulvaney Quinn is brought in to handle the case, in spite of the fact that stubborn cop Kate Penner is trying to get him back to Vegas to face charges of murder.  As the stakes rise and the tensions soar, they uncover a plan that could very well trigger the ultimate war. . . which is just what some people want.

Fuse of Armageddon is a fast paced, action-packed thriller that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can.  But what’s more, it’ll make you think.  Through the eyes of Quinn, who has lived as an American in the Middle East for a decade, we see a new side to the End Times debate—the socio-political one.  He explains how the rest of the world sees evangelical Christian views, and how the actions taken by Americans have upset the balance in that war-torn area of the world.  Fuse of Armageddon puts faces on the players in the conflict and perspective on the situation.  It’s also an amazing tale in and of itself, appealing to that love of secret societies and hidden agendas.

If you’ve read and loved other End Times novels, then this is a must-read.  If you’ve put them off for one reason or another, then this might be just the book you want to read to provide that educated look, along with mind-blowing entertainment. The action will keep any lover of suspense on the edge of his seat, and the character development will pull you right into the story along with them.

Fuse of Armageddon is a book you won’t want to put down—but when you do, you’ll come away with a new perspective of the world you live in.
