Being curious, I'll look at it.

No reference to Enoch is also interesting.

Who, then, are the final witnesses?

Oh, man! I can answer this but that'll spoil the ending! There's an answer to your observation, but, ah, I can't tell you. :-D

I have it on my shelf ... so many books, so little time!

(By the way, just to change briefly into annoying copy-editor mode, "fair" should be "fare" in the last paragraph.)

When I say "typos blunders mine" is for a reason...:-)

"These masses are unable to tell good from evil even if riding on the train to Auschwitz."

Now THAT's a quote!

Oh, man!

So, it's fiction and I already know the answer.

Thanks!

"Father Elijah" is indeed a great book, which I've read and enjoyed twice.

Thank you for your kind suggestion.

I was suspicious that O'Brian has written something like "DaVinci Code" or the "taken away" drivel. Instead I hear that this is a serious story about a most serious situation.

Excellent book, we enjoyed it very much. "Overtaken by events," unfortunately, and there's no sequel!

O'Brien is a wonderful author. I have loved everything I have read by him. I also recommend Bud MacFarlane's series of books. They are " House of Gold", Pierced By A Sword and Conceived Without Sin. The books can be ordered for free at St. Jude's Media
