Graphically displayed and presented in full review is the beast's evil contempt for mankind. Many offerings of intrigue, drama, and mystery contained within this novel were gleaned from the plethora of stories presented in the Holy Bible, from the beginning with Genesis through the ending in Revelation. How these stories are perceived and understood depends upon the recipient's personal consideration of believability. Everyone, from the born-again believer to the devout agnostic-all have their own "worldview" of truth and perception of life, death, and eternity. Consider what the evil one's perspective must be. This is the setting in which this novel is presented...also from Genesis to Revelation. Author D. Ellie Akay is credited with several other literary works, such as biblical commentary, short stories of various subjects, and a plethora of poetic themes, some of which have also been published.

His faith and trust in the completed work of Jesus Christ on Calvary is foremost and exemplified by his favorite scriptures-Philippians 3:7-9.
