It was interesting to have a different take on what the 2nd coming of Jesus may look like. I am a Christian, so I came into the book interested in the storyline. First, I'm not sure if it was one of the characters (Eric Katz) or the author himself who is so opinionated. It is really a What If...?

Fatalism is the belief that all things are preordained--what you do, what you believe, circumstances, etc.

They go together to the Temple, Jesus descends from heaven to ask them to rise up back with him.

Turtledove is married to fellow novelist Laura Frankos.

The concept is what would happen if it seemed like people tried to help bring about Armaggeddon while using some of the prophecies found in the Bible's Book of Revelation. Instead of striking down all of Israel’s opponents (he does some in self defense), he strikes up an unlikely friendship near the end of the book with an Iranian Muslim boy, who is Islam’s Mahdi. ALPHA AND OMEGA. C$10.10   He has taken the religious, social, ingrained, ancestral, and contemporary beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and of various ethnicities espousing those beliefs (particularly throughout the Middle East and in the U.S.) and has created a tapestry that weaves the unbelievable, the believable, the matters strictly of faith, the matters of science, and the impossible, together and created a syncretic synthesis that is greater than the sum of its components.
Prophesy? The misuse was consistent in the book.Rather than alternate history, Turtledove has dived into a different kind of speculative fiction with his novel. While Harry Turtledove is best known for his alternate history series, this latest novel from him is a stand-alone, and of a somewhat different genre category. Harry Turtledove C$9.27

Please be patient and understanding.I find Harry Turtledove's books a bit of a mixed bag. Well, only if you think DT is the hand of God.Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my open and honest review. My understanding is that Turtledove normally writes revisionary history, in the vein of (although not the style of) Philip K Dick’s The Man in the High Castle.

Praise for Harry Turtledove "One of alt-history's stalwarts." The concept is what would happen if it seemed like people tried to help bring about Armaggeddon while using some of the prophecies found in the Bible's Book of Revelation. Impossibilities, logical contradictions, and indeed rational judgement need to be tossed aside as real events following the discovery of the Ark of the Covenant can only be explained simply as the will of God. Set in the present day, Alpha and Omega begins with an epochal archaeological discovery beneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. I liked the story and was interested in how it would be resolved.

That said, there were some things that I did not like. The title is not good, it could be on a book about the Greek alphabet. That is fatalism and would mean that free will does not exist. $18.00. This is the first of Mr. Turtledove’s novels that I’ve read, though several of his titles are on my TBR list.

It's a good novel, but it falls short of having the epic sweep that I think was intended.Immensely ambitious, which is good. This book, told by multiple narrators, is about what would happen if modern archeologists found the Ark of the Covenant buried somewhere under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
