Average customer review:Product Description
For the past two millennia, there has been a Cold War between Heaven and Hell. In that time, Earth has served as the neutral zone between the two powers with humanity the pawns in a conflict whose origins remain shrouded in legend. Tonight...that all changes as one mortal disturbs that fragile balance.
Matthew Ford is a common man, struggling through college while attempting to discover his destiny. Anti-social, passive aggressive, and immature beyond belief, this flawed person will set into motion that final prophecy that will lead to the End of Days.
He will travel to Heaven, be tempted by Hell, get into a feud with Jesus, meet the moronic leader of the free world, create a self-help movement that tears the world apart, and lead the final zombie charge on Mount Megiddo in that last conflict of all time, Armageddon.

Editorial Reviews
Review
A satire which portrays and excoriates the corruption and misuse of societal institutions in present-day America. -- Huffington Post, March 2007
It will strike a responsive chord with those tired of the increasing dominance of religion in society and politics. -- Best Seller Reports, April 2007
The characters are well formed, genuine, aptly supporting this imaginative story. Yes, I roared with laughter throughout this distinctive book. -- PODPeep, May 2007
There are probably many in its intended audience who will view it all as a reflection of the renowned mantra from Network, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" -- EIN News, April 2007
This novel is founded on an unusual and clever premise that will keep you wondering how the madness will end. -- Evangeline, June 2007

Humorous story of the anti-christ's war on earth
If you're at all sensitive about religion, don't get this book. If you want a story that follows a well thought out plot line and is filled with great character development, don't get this book. If you want a fun quick read that'll leave you laughing over ludicrous juxtapositions of reality TV level character with religious prophecy as the anti-christ comes to earth, then this is the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now This is Funny
Jesus as the corporate head of Heaven. Sneaking into Heaven with a truck-full of Mexicans. Bored Aryan angels. A completely self-centered, whiny hero. This book is made up of some good stuff.
This satire I can sink my teeth into. The book is paced well. It's funny. It's cheeky. It's a nice little romp through the apocaplypse with some pretty unexpected turns and a great Armegeddon to finish it off.
I would have given this 5 stars, but the kindle version had some issues with random carriage returns and mid-paragraph blank lines. Not so much to be a pain but just enough to be noticable and commentable.
Symbolic of America Today
This book is pure venom. Against modern culture. Against modern politics. Against the hypocrisy of religion. This book really does spell out the frustration people in America have with their country today. It deals in corruption of ideals, imperfect leaders making idiotic decisions, and proves how precarious a position the world is in today. It's also a fun book poking the establishment in the ribs. Irreverent, but it deserves to be. Give it a look.
