There's nothing I love more than a good, historical conspiracy theory to get my teeth into and when it is one that has biblical connotations, so much the better. That's exactly what you get when you dive into Lex Allen's fantastic trilogy Eloah. No Heaven is the first in the series and I read it voraciously from cover to cover. I am excited to discover where it leads us next and what exciting adventures and puzzles the unlikely disciples will embark on in the two remaining stories.
In No Heaven, Jesus has returned to earth to prevent a nuclear conflagration that is brewing between the world's major religions. Religions that were founded on tissues of lies relating to his life and works when he last strode the earth 2,000 years ago. Jesus is furious that his actions and teachings have been so corrupted by the Christian Church, by Judaism, and by Islam. He is determined to produce the evidence that will allow him to show the world what phonies the religions are and the belief in an omniscient and omnipresent God really are.
Linking up with a declared atheist Jack and a religious scholar who long ago lost her faith, Beth, the trio must avoid the many people hunting them who for various reasons want Jesus either shut down or turned to their advantage. They must uncover the evidence buried so many years earlier that shows the truth of Jesus' first visit to Earth.
The author takes us on a fast-paced journey through fantastical situations, back to the dawn of time and forward to the present day. This story is reminiscent of some of the best biblical conspiracy theories I've read, from the likes of Ken Fry and Dan Brown. I would highly recommend this read to anyone who loves a great action/adventure/mystery. Roll on books two and three, I say. Great job Mr Allen.
