Review and Giveaway: Ottoman Dominion by Terry Brennan

 

About:

Diplomatic Security Service agent Brian Mullaney wants out. He's been drawn against his will into a dangerous international mission with world-ending implications--and his final assignment is going to pit him directly against the terrifying, evil entity known only as the Turk.

But when the Turk's minions breach the US embassy in Israel and the American ambassador disappears, Mullaney has no choice. He must accept his role as the final guardian of a mysterious box, his only weapon against the powers of darkness bent on preventing the second coming of the Messiah, no matter who or what they annihilate to accomplish their goal. Can this man who's already lost so much find the strength and faith to save the world--and fulfill the prophecy of peace?

The final volume of the Empires of Armageddon trilogy will have fans of Joel Rosenberg, Ronie Kendig, and Frank Peretti on the edge of their seats up to the final page.

My Thoughts:

The Ottoman Dominion is the third in the thrilling Empire of Armageddon series that certainly sets the stage for an awesome battle between good and bad. Like it's predecessors, this is written in short, action filled (mostly) segments that jump from place to place and character to character. No worries though, the place and the time is named before each section. I was not sure how I would like that, but throughout the series, I have enjoyed that type of storytelling. It makes the reading more intense.

This is the third in the series so I would personally recommend reading the whole series. There is a lot going on, plenty of detail, a whole host of characters, and some pretty neat history to delve into. This story also picks up right after the events of the Persian Betrayal.

As always I appreciate the author's notes in the back. And author Brennan's notes are just as fascinating as his imaginative story. If you are looking for something a little different- political intrigue, supernatural entities, end of the world scenarios- then this series would be a good one to pick up. 

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher through Read with Audra. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
