For the next 72 hours, the Kindle version of Enoch’s Device will be on sale at Amazon for 99¢! Here’s what Marty Shaw of Reader Views said about the novel: “If you enjoy tales of magic and adventure that are perfectly blended with reality and history, ‘Enoch’s Device’ by Joseph Finley will be an exciting read for you.” Here’s a link to the book’s page on Amazon, followed by an image of the cover and a brief summary.
Nearly a thousand years after the birth of Christ, when all Europe fears that the world will soon end, an Irish monk, Brother Ciarán, discovers an ominous warning hidden in the illuminations of a religious tome. The cryptic prophecy speaks of Enoch’s device, an angelic weapon with the power to prevent the coming apocalypse.
Pursued by Frankish soldiers and supernatural forces, Ciarán and his freethinking mentor, Brother Dónall, journey to the heart of France in search of the device. There, they rescue the Lady Alais from a heretic-hunting bishop who insists mankind must suffer for its sins. Together the trio races across Europe to locate the device, which has left clues of its passage through history. But time is running out, and if they don’t find it soon, all that they love could perish at the End of Days.
Enoch’s Device is a fast-paced medieval adventure steeped in history, mythology, and mysteries from a dark and magical past.
Stephen Reynolds of SPR said
“Enoch’s Device is a wonderfully imagined, vividly described, alternately lyrical and violent romp of a novel that should give lovers of historical fantasy just the kind of fix they’re looking for.”
Author
E. Kendrick Smith added,
“And while it is a thoughtful and carefully-written work, it is also a fun read, in the spirit of the ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (but with more accurate historical references.) Whether you like history, fantasy, mysteries or high conflict thrillers, ‘Enoch’s Device’ delivers.”
Author Erica Dakin said,
“History, fantasy and existing legends – sometimes religious, sometimes not – are interwoven seamlessly, and the whole makes for a wonderful ride that often has you on the edge of your seat. The heroes are likeable, the villains suitably loathsome, and the story is never boring.”
Author Tanjlisa Marie wrote:
“Wow! What a wonderful ride!! Where to begin… First, the entire time I was reading the story I was also hoping that the author would separate fact from fiction at the end. And he did not disappoint.”
And (my personal favorite)
writer and blogger L. Marrick called it:
“The most exciting book about monks I’ve read. … The monks of Enoch’s Device run circles around any monk from Robin Hood. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor? Child’s play. They’re working with ancient magical forces to thwart a corrupt, evil bishop. They’re rescuing beautiful women from being burned at the stake. They’re travelling across the medieval world to save the medieval world.”
