Andrew, the young comparative religions professor from Book I,
knows what he needs to do. He needs to give the still sleeping Adam
flesh, by mating with a young and mysterious Middle Eastern woman
known as Mara. The time is right at last, so what can possibly stop
Andrew and Mara from coming together in fulfillment of prophecy?
Well, for one thing, there's Michael. And then there are those who
follow Michael, the great archangel who's made it his mission to
keep humanity in its current ignorant and deluded state. Ranged on
the looming battle's other side are Mantrella, Bringer of Light,
and those who follow him. Meanwhile, Earth itself convulses as its
inhabitants endure the plagues of Revelation. Will those who can
stop Michael act in time? And even if they do, will they prevail?
We sincerely hope that you enjoyed BOOK I of the Trilogy. It sets
the stage for THE SACRED ROTA and the progression of events that
leads to THE SECOND COMING OF HUMANITY. Many readers have commented
that the series has many levels of meaning. Our response has often
been that in order to understand what we are saying, the reader
must read between the lines. By this we mean that the real story
and meaning flow not from just the written word, but also from the
inner spirit that guides us all to greater levels of awareness.
When you finish this book, ask yourself the following questions:
"What was meant by the term, Sacred Rota?" Is it just some old
religious tribunal, or does it have a broader meaning in the
context of our changing times? We have presented a story where all
notions of good and evil are turned onto their heads. Is this done
just for the sake of sensationalism, or has humanity been led into
an intellectual abyss where the concepts of such terms have been
distorted to keep the 'faithful' in line? Read between the lines
and see if the 'age of worn-out dogma' is indeed at an end. Here's
when Lucifer harangues an Archangel: "You create demons and false
hopes of redemption. You build them mighty temples and give with
one hand and slaughter with the other. You have kept them separate
and ignorant and give just enough to raise empty hopes. You destroy
their prophets and burn their seers. If they question, you put them
to the rack and crush all semblance of free thought. You give them
a doctrine of poverty and offer riches in your fantasy heaven. Kill
in the name of god and your treasure shall be immeasurable. You
divide them and thus conquer them, and tell them they have no
responsibility but to be good sheep and to follow your demented
dictates." This strikes me as an apt description of global
religion. Piers Anthony
