It begins with a prophecy. A false messiah sits upon a throne as king of the land, and the time is coming to dethrone him. The messiah was destined to rise out of obscurity and win a torn nation over with pure charisma. This man, this false prophet, is none other than former US President Barack Obama. As Obama maintains control over his people through the use of fear and power, angels and demons are entangled in a battle to save mankind—or destroy it. Grotesque ritual murders, lustful men, and a nation bursting at the seams set the stage for a tale of good versus evil and the repercussions of this age-old battle.
The author’s tale is told in a rambling manner that lends it urgency. Throughout the narrative the writing becomes quite graphic, especially as it describes the grotesque nature of the ritual killing. Goodman seems extremely concerned about getting his point across that evil exists among us. This short book is a frantic, politically-charged work of writing which at times reads like a conspiracy theory. Amidst talk of angels and demons, the narrative delves into real-world politicians and political events in a way that suggests the author has some very strong opinions about current events and the individuals involved in them. Although the author’s book lacks sufficient editing, it is a passionate commentary on the state of today's political system, racial tension, and the mortal sins that tempt even the best of men. But above all, it's a plea for all of us to play our parts in the battle between good and evil, a war in which we must pick a side.
