Master suspense author Ronie Kendig is back with a brand new series from Bethany House Publishers! “Storm Rising” is the first installment in “The Book of the Wars” series, and while it is a completely new story all it’s own, fans of “The Tox Files” will also recognize several familiar faces as the two stories overlap slightly.

“Does an ancient book of prophecy hold the answers to saving the world. . . or predict its destruction?” This tagline indicates just what type of story you are getting into when you open to the first page of “Storm Rising”. A thrill ride from start to finish, this book is also thought-provoking and meticulously plotted with details that keep you guessing until the end. Some portions are challenging to read because the plot and backstory can become quite violent, such as military-type warfare scenes and references to a case of horrific abuse against a female character. These scenarios are integral parts of the story, however, and everything is woven together into a can’t-put-it-down story that brings a legendary ancient text (with unimaginable consequences) to life.

If you enjoy Christian suspense, spy-type novels, and military missions, all combined with Scriptural references and ancient legends, you won’t be able to resist “Storm Rising”. Just be prepared when you reach the end of the book… the story doesn’t stop there, but will continue on next spring when the second “Book of the Wars” novel is released!
