Pentecost by J.F. Penn

My review today is on the book Pentecost; An ARKANE Thriller by J. F. Penn. This was an excellent read, it was well written, with intriguing situations, and characters that touch your heart. I have never read any of these books by J. F. Penn but I love this one and will have to purchase the other books in the series.

The story opens in India. An old nun is running for her life, she is a keeper of one of the Apostle's stones. When she refuses to give the stone up she is beaten, the stone stolen, and she is left for dead. When she awoke she was paralyzed, gagged, and bound for the funeral fires on the Manikarnika ghat, as her body burns a great storm rocks the city of Varanasi, lightning was seen in balls of scarlet fire, a pillar of fire was reportedly seen above the ghat. It was unexplainable but miracles and healings took place at that time.

Dr. Morgan Sierra, an expert in ancient religions and doctrines, is approached by a man in her office. This man worked for an American, Dr. Joesph Everett. Dr. Everett wants her to work with them on a project. He gives her information about the stone claiming it has supernatural powers. It is one of twelve stones made of the Resurrection Stone that was rolled away from Jesus tomb. Each apostle was given one and on the day of Pentecost they were given power. Dr. Everett wants all twelve stones by Pentecost. Morgan tells him to hand in a written proposal and she would think about it. He tells her he will buy the stone but she refuses, as he is leaving he mentions he knows her twin sister has one of these stones. Before she can respond her office is broken into and another group are telling her they want her stone. Morgan an ex-military agent for Israel fights off the men and escapes only to be caught by a group called the ARKANE, also looking for these stones. She must get to her sister before these men come after her.

Faye Price, Morgan's sister, a devote Christian is kidnapped with her two year old daughter Gemma. Faye, also a keeper of a stone is held by Dr. Everett to force Morgan to find the stones.

Jake Timber, an agent for ARKANE, steps in to help Morgan. He tells her he will help her find the other stones. She can use their information center to help find these stones, He explains that the other group is Thanatos and that they want the stones for evil purposes as is Dr Everett.

Morgan and Jake take on the mission to find the stones but each have their own agenda. Trust is not really an option but they are forced to work together and attraction sizzles between them. Morgan's sole purpose is to rescue her sister and her neice. Jake's sole purpose is to get the stone to safety and protect the world.

Dr. Joesph Everett is a psychopath that wants the stones to save his twin. He is willing to sacrifice anyone to help his brother. He will go to any length to get his hands on the stones.

This is a journey to find these stones before the Resurgam comet comes over the earth on the day of Pentecost. Three powerful groups searching for these stones and Morgan the only one to figure out the way. It is an amazing journey. I couldn't help but wonder how they would be able to make the story end right but she was able to end it just the way it should end. You must get a copy.
