In Antarctica, a scientific expedition drops anchor for a live news feed. As the CNN journalist begins her report, a massive, shimmering sphere of light suddenly appears in the sky, enveloping the ship in luminous white light before disappearing as mysteriously as it arrived - the entire event witnessed by an incredulous world audience.
Meanwhile in a dusty bar in Egypt, a dozen men are lazily discussing the state of the world when the brilliant, glowing symbol on the television stops them cold. One man breaks out in a sweat, crosses himself repeatedly, and rushes out of the bar muttering the same phrase over and over again: It can't be.
Across the Internet and around the globe, a stunning controversy threatens to consume the world: Has God finally decided to reveal himself? Or is something more sinister at hand?

Critic reviews
“Raymond Khoury explores the concept of religion by posing the ever-present question What if? in a unique and appealing way. It’s fiercely intelligent and equally curious. Khoury casts his fictional world in a dark pall - a fitting atmosphere for his protagonists as they race both time and shadowy instincts toward a scintillating conclusion. The Sign is a rapid paced adventure that delivers equal quantities of story and lesson, neither one suffering in the process. Khoury’s background as a screenwriter shows. He is especially adept at action scenes. His expertly chosen verbs cause the scenes to leap from the page. You can literally feel the blows as they’re landed; wince as the bullets find their marks. He has an intense brand of storytelling all his own. The Sign is a prize to be savored.” (New York Times best-selling author Steve Berry)
"[A] solid thriller...Unrelenting action and a suitably twisted ending.” (Publishers Weekly)

I highly recommend it. If you are a bit of a truther you be sitting back thinking about the reality of this story. A lot!
But it is written in a way that any religious faith, atheist or those who are more dependant on science will enjoy it.
One of those books that makes you think Alot!

Anyway, as far as I can see, the book isn't really about God or Godliness so much as an exciting adventure romp. I don't read a huge amount of adventure/thriller type books, but this one seemed a bit out of the ordinary to me, and I liked the way it presented observations about the state of the world. It's written pretty well, with some strong characters, and kept me engaged the whole way. If you look up Raymond Khoury on google, he comes up as a screenwriter, and there is a very clear cinematic quality to this story that I enjoyed, as I am a visual thinker. I liked it, and I would think most people would, as long as they don't take it too seriously.
Kept my interest, with some surprising twists
