Arcon forsook his new life of adventure in the outside world to fulfill his destiny with ArcPoint.

This is the third book in the series. I like this one the best so far but another one is coming. I recommend reading them in order to get the whole story. If you don’t you might be lost at parts in the story.

I do have one question about a statement in the book , The Bible says that when Jesus comes back. We will be taken up in the sky to be with Jesus. Right?

I am asking that because , Yes, I know the book is fiction but if this statement is wrong, I need to say something about it being wrong in my review right. I believe even if the book is fiction the author shouldn’t go against what the Bible says.

Here is the statement

“you know how our founders believed we’d be taken up to the sky to be with Jesus when he came . It didn’t happen like that, but now we’re in the midst-of the thousand year reign of Jesus that our founders also look forward to.”

I refer you to Thessalonians 4:17

I enjoyed reading this book.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

The ArcPoint trilogy finally reaches its conclusion with Mojave Rock. I ramp up the humor and romance a little, just to make it interesting. A few of the minor characters play a larger role. We get to see how Arcon travels around the world without floating on water or flying through the air. And we get a glimpse of what this world is like with the Prince of Peace ruling the planet.

I also move more toward science fiction with Mojave Rock. I wanted to show how mankind cleaned up our planet, after the tribulation era gave us wars, earthquakes, famines, and other forms of death and destruction. When lawlessness made all of us want to hide as ArcPoint did. As technology helped us, there were always people who used it to harm us.

It was fun to contemplate how accident-free high-speed travel could be accomplished. How could we use it to feed the world? In fact, what would world travel be like without war zones, national borders, corrupt government officials, currency exchange, pickpockets, and terrorists? Can you imagine retail stores without shoplifters? Email without spam? Facial recognition without invasion of privacy? No frauds, scammers, or identity thieves? All of that may sound like heaven, but it’s not. That’s another time and place.

So, how will ArcPoint react to connecting with the outside world again? They were already free of the things listed above. World peace didn’t concern them, since inner peace was a common commodity. Will they leave their oasis in the former desert? Will their community be overrun with strangers? Will Arcon and Elaina marry? It’s worth reading Mojave Rock to find out.
