Book two –THE REVELATION
The Revelation continues with the adventures of Brad Scott from the point when he decides that he’s had enough of all the intrigues, the skulking of the two unsavoury mysterious strangers that suddenly appear at will and decides to terminate his vacation trip. Somehow his wavering to act immediately and resolutely as well as his guide’s advice convinces him to change his mind. Other mysterious events help to dissuade him from going through with his plans to cut the trip short.
He’s caught in a whirlwind of events that draw him further into one of the bizarre and unbelievable fables that are abundant in that part of the world. As time passes he begins to feel an ominous sense of foreboding that he’s caught in a deadly and dangerous game.
Yet all these events and his own emotions don’t help to settle his concerns, but rather confuse him further.
The last day before he leaves for home some disturbing and mysterious incidents crop up that don’t make any sense. Brad tries to rationalize them and finally gives up, but is glad that he’s done with the whole business as he settles in the plane for his ride home to Belgium and a saner world or is he?
As time passes the people and the events from his vacation in Israel begin to reoccur as well as start to haunt him again. During his routine trip to Germany he meets with the worst experience of his life not knowing whether this time he’ll survive.
His only salvation is to return to Israel where it all began and try to close the dreadful portal that opened when this whole affair began.
The Revelation Book two 'The Revelation' carries on where Book one 'The Find' ended revolving around archeology, mysticism and some ancient myth in Israel. It involves a number of characters that are all somehow connected to a relic buried a milenium ago.
They are all strangers, but through bizarre coincidences are pulled into a whirlwind of events that hurls them into a dimension,which exists between the realities of this world and the supernatural. The central character sometimes wonders whether he has lost his sanity.
The people involved are as diverse as their backgrounds and only one of them who possesses the artifact knows the price for getting mixed up in the maelstrom that is forming around and pulling all of them into its vortex from which there may not be any return. 'The Revelation' finally pulls together what seem to be all the disconnected pieces into a tidy package that explains Brad's confusing last few months of his life.
Excerpt
Excert from THE REVELATION
“As I was saying she came out of nowhere and after some preliminaries she asked me about the Key. She had heard that it is on the market to the highest bidder. While she was beautiful there was something sinister about her. I can’t put my finger on it, but even though I was fascinated with her she also gave me the creeps. She had a coffee with me and then just walked off saying that we would meet again. She also called me by name. By the time I realized that I hadn’t told her who I was and decided to ask her about it, she had rounded that corner over there, which as you can see is no more than a dozen steps away. I called after her and ran to ask her how she found out my name, but as I turned the corner there was no one around. I checked every angle, but no luck. You can see that there is no place where she could have disappeared so quickly.”
Nachman looked around and took a sip out of his cup. “I’m not trying to be funny, or insult you, but these ancient places sometimes have a weird effect on people.”
“So what are you saying? I have become delusional and have hallucinations? What about the coffee she drank? How do you explain it? I had to make another pot when you came back.”
“Of course not. Sometimes the mind plays tricks on you. We’ve all had it happen to us.”
Then he tried to reassure me. “As far as the creepy feeling; I know how it feels because I felt the same thing when we saw those two journalists.”
There was a long silence then he stirred the fire with a stick.
