Science Fiction but it actually has a wonderful story plot...realistic.A strange formation...Jack simply wants the truth... The Reverend wants to claim of God and save his congregation... money desire from the formation, the scientist want to understand it... Jack still simply wants the truth...The amazing part of this book is it is written in a way that you slip into the well-developed story at a natural pace as if you are there within the pages experiencing it too....There are characters.. you love... understand and some you want to slap.. but they all are believable and you can see the possibility of this happening. Denisa Howe - Goodreads ReviewA fascinating read. Jack Carpenter is involved in a freak auto accident. As a result, he discovers a strange geological formation in the Mojave Desert near Bat Mountain California. He doesn't think much about it till he returns and discovers the formation is growing and at a staggering rate. Fascinated he calls his friend George Parker who is a local Geology Professor they begin to study the formation in earnest. Professor Parker has never heard of or seen a Geological formation grow almost 6 inches every day. He calls a friend at the U.S park service, soon word gets out and people flock to see the miracle in the desert which is starting to look like a Cathedral. Trying to save his failing church of the Living Desert Reverend John Little proclaims that it is a Cathedral being built by God to herald Christ's second coming. But before he can get his movement off the ground the U.S Army steps and declares it a hazard to the public and a threat to national security. After a series of deaths and the inability of scientist's to explain the phenomenon, it gives the army credence for their concern. Does the Army blow up the Cathedral? Or do they keep it under surveillance? Amazon review by Lady GGreat Read.I really enjoyed this book even though it isn't usually one that I would read. Jack is an interesting character who is well developed and easy to relate to along with his girlfriend Dolly and ex-wife, son, etc. Jack has found a strange formation in the Death Valley area and wants to find out more about it. His friends join him and things get way out of hand as people believe that God has something to do with this creation when in fact it can be explained but the government doesn't want to explain it to anyone. What a journey they go through and the ending is not what I expected. I see that it is part of a series though you needn't read the first ones to pick up this one though I may read on to find out what happens next. Amazon Review by Booklover
