Suppose you learned that an ancient prophecy about an artifact, said to be powerful enough to dramatically change the world, was true. Would you risk everything to find it? It has been five-hundred years since the Pulse caused the Great Collapse, ending the Golden Age, and civilization on planet Earth. Humanity has waited ever since for a long-anticipated sign from God, which has finally appeared in the night sky. The time has come for Ferrell Young, the Warrior Clan, and the Church to risk everything in an effort to restore civilization, and bring hope to a world full of despair. Alex Montgomery is an archaeologist who has spent many years looking for a mysterious book on behalf of the Holy Christian Church. The book is said to contain the location of the Great Oracle which, according to legend, can endow the one who finds it with great power and wealth. Of much greater importance to the Clan and the Church however, is the fact that it may also enable the world to emerge from five centuries of darkness and suffering. When a powerful, intelligent, but sadistic barbarian leader named Kraken learns of the Oracle, he plans to destroy the Warrior Clan and the Church, take the Oracle for himself, and enslave the rest of humanity. Join Ferrell and his companions as they set out on a desperate journey to find the Great Oracle, and rescue humanity from The Dark Age.

I enjoyed it for the historical aspects but the idea of a god needing to ride a giant horse into battle helps those who call it an outdated desert-dweller's religion. IMHO the people of the past recorded things in ways they understood.There were several continuity problems as well. The first to come to mind is Moscow being wiped out in one chapter then in a later chapter, a church in Moscow was destroyed.
FWIW I would not expect a god to enter battle with a laser saber either. Anything that could create this universe is beyond mortal comprehension. Any attempts to describe it or even see it would be beyond our brains ability.
But, all in all, the book was a fun read so I give it three stars instead of two.

The Dark Age Survivors of the Pulse Jeff W Horton 9781937085049 Books Reviews
I surprised myself by choosing to read this book, thinking it was only for bible kind of people - no not so! It has a strong message for many while entertaining the reader.
Jonah (Jon) Elijah March is born to ordinary parents in an ordinary town in the United States. But he is no ordinary child. He is one of the last of two prophets mentioned in the Bible's Book of Revelations.
He has dreams that in time prove to manifest as actual events that become stronger when he is a teen. When his earlier visions, like the one about Lara--literally a girl of his dreams--being involved in an accident does not manifest as he envisioned, Jon thinks he is wrong. In time he realizes that his vision have merit and are not wrong, only he has not been patient or trusting enough to see them to fruition. In time Jon and Lara marry.
Another tells Jon he is slated for great things because of his visions and that God has chosen him to be a prophet but he doesn't believe it. And then an angel appears to him and follows it up with a miraculous sign. It is then that he accepts his fate. Along with his acceptance comes an ominous message--with the glory comes imminent death.
Jon is not alone in this journey. There are people who see him for what his purpose is to be, such people as the kind Pastor Weathersby who guides Jon to understand his gift and later he meets the Pope along with other spiritual world leaders who believe in his prophesies.
As Jon begins his mission by proclaiming God's message spreading the news that "The End of Days is at hand," the reader can find comfort in what Horton reminds us, "The world is a very transient place..." And warns people that the Beast (the Bible Beast who's not a very nice chap) is gaining power and influencing those weakened by their greediness and materialistic needs to where they "worship him" --the Beast --thus forsaking all reason and goodness (God). Sounds familiar. I believe there's a lot of that going on now, don't you? Jon then reassures all that will listen that "Jesus Christ will once again come to enlighten (or save) them." The Beast is in the image of a charismatic politician, Abe Addon who scams the people into trusting him and his false promises. All the while his only purpose is to control and dominate mankind. We have here what all good stories have--a good protagonist and a good bad antagonist and Abe Addon is a really bad guy with a winning smile.
Jon, Lara and their son Samuel travel to Israel as the end comes closer. In time Jon meets the other prophet Moe Princeton. I liked this character. There was something very earthly about him. Jon at times seemed so intense, even in his loving and insightful ways. On the other hand Moe is more of a regular kind of guy. Both have visions and messages for humankind, who per the usual, aren't listening.
Horton tells his readers that "Life is a only a brief stop on the road to eternity." And I find that reassuring while reading about the worldwide disasters spreading--drought, floods massive earthquakes, and finally, a devastating asteroid alerting us that the end of the world is at hand.
I'm not crazy for "Hey, guys! You screwed up big time and now it's a done deal," kind of books, but the journey with Jon is an interesting one. I had to agree that the world is in a very precarious position and too many leaders (corporations) have sold out the health of our planet and the welfare of the people for their greed and power ego. All in all, if you want to acquaint yourself with the Bible prophecies and/or be aware that life is fragile and fleeting, this book could be of interest to you.
The Dark Age was well-written and seemed well-plotted, but isn't a genre I feel particularly engaged by, so while it was very readable, I didn't love it. This could be purely because it isn't the type of story I normally enjoy. If you like epic level post-apocalyptic stories, this one might do you just fine.
Although fictional...this book is bible based and really gives you an understanding of the times when the anti-christ will start to be in power in everyday life.
A book I really wanted........therefore I ordered this one and also received one as a Christmas gift.....so will be returning this copy.....unless I decide to gift it to a friend or family member. Decisions....decisions!
American two witnesses? I doubt it. But other than that it's a tough subject handled very well. I really enjoyed this read.
The Dark Age is a realistic senario for what could really happen to our world if the catastrophy of a collapse of all technology were to occur. People would be helpless and would group themselves into packs for survivals sake. In Mr. Horton's world, the battle isn't just to survive, but to reestablish a society of all world powers with a foundation on Christian principles much like our own nation was begun. You must read this action packed novel and imagine for yourself; what would you do to survive?
I really enjoyed reading this book. Actually, I think I enjoyed the author's way of writing more than the book itself. He explains everything so clearly. You feel as if you're truly there. This is not the type of book I usually read--I tend to go for romance--but I did like it because it made me think. No matter what your beliefs, this book will make you wonder...
I will definitely read other books written by Jeff Horton, and I would recommend The Last Prophet to everyone.
I enjoyed it for the historical aspects but the idea of a god needing to ride a giant horse into battle helps those who call it an outdated desert-dweller's religion. IMHO the people of the past recorded things in ways they understood.
There were several continuity problems as well. The first to come to mind is Moscow being wiped out in one chapter then in a later chapter, a church in Moscow was destroyed.
FWIW I would not expect a god to enter battle with a laser saber either. Anything that could create this universe is beyond mortal comprehension. Any attempts to describe it or even see it would be beyond our brains ability.
But, all in all, the book was a fun read so I give it three stars instead of two.
