Graphically displayed and presented in full review is the beast's evil contempt for mankind. Many offerings of intrigue, drama, and mystery contained within this novel were gleaned from the plethora of stories presented in the Holy Bible, from the beginning with Genesis through the ending in Revelation. How these stories are perceived and understood depends upon the recipient's personal consideration of believability. Everyone, from the born-again believer to the devout agnostic-all have their own "worldview" of truth and perception of life, death, and eternity. Consider what the evil one's perspective must be. This is the setting in which this novel is presented...also from Genesis to Revelation.
