A review by taisie22
Alpha and Omega by Harry Turtledove
4.0
When conservative Jews find a pure red heifer and archeologists find the lost Ark under the Temple Mount, it looks like the End of Days might be coming soon. Told in various points of view and by members of the different Abrahamic religions, the newest book by Harry Turtledove is an engaging view of events in the Middle East and religion across the West.
Conservative Christians, devout Jews and Muslims, and secular people must confront a new reality as events progress in this story. While some seem a bit contrived, there's enough scholarly backup from the Bible, the Talmud, and the Quoran to make it all believable. This book leaves the reader pondering the result and wondering if we might ever reach that ending in the real world.
