Book Reviews by Lynn

This book is set in the year 2028. Man has conquered the moon and is planning on mining the moon for ice to fuel deep space flight. This is a fantastic book that took me to the moon and back, and kept me hooked from the first page!Dr. Raphael Matteo (Matt to his friends) is a geologist with NASA and is a wonderful character. He has to deal with some serious working conditions; he keeps a cool head, even when faced with a crisis. He is a wonderful and loving husband and father.Gabriel's Chalice is told from many different characters' points of view which contributes to, in my opinion, one of the best science fiction disaster novels I have read. Although I am not overly religious, and this book is about a prophecy written in the bible, I found myself engrossed in the story. I loved the flow of the story, and I could "see" the scenes playing through my mind, just as if it was a movie or on television.Frank Ruffolo has written a fantastic tale of biblical proportions that, although it contains references from the bible, is not preachy. However, there is a message of peace and goodwill to all mankind. I highly recommend this book if you love a great science fiction disaster novel that will leave you wanting more. I am now looking forward to reading other books by this author.
