The
Assignment
By Mark Andrew Olsen
A tiny remnant of Catholic
priests in an underground movement are the only ones who really
know the truth about a mysterious man, who has lived for ages and
ages.
A man haunted
by his failure to successfully carry out an urgent assignment, he
wanders the earth in despair. Now, because the forces of darkness
know their days are numbered, they've upped the ante, and are unleashing
all their cunning to incite a conflict of epic proportions; one
that will ultimately remove the one man left behind, without whose
presence all the powers of darkness can no longer be held in check.
In his
first single major inspirational thriller, The Assignment,
Mark Andrew Olsen weaves a riveting and unforgettable tale filled
with history, loss, heartache and deep and abiding Christian love.
His characters walk straight off the pages and will give the reader
not only an edge-of-the-seat, thrilling read, but a life-changing
experience.
This
one rivals Left Behind, and will give other inspirational
thriller authors a definite run for their money. Run, don't walk
to your nearest Christian bookstore for The Assignment.
I look for it to be a major motion picture, and look forward to
reading more by this very talented author.
