The Last Adam - Echols, Ron

. .

Résumé :
A dangerous prophecy. A miraculous child. A war older than humanity, now awakened in the modern world. Mary Levitt never expected her life as a struggling Los Angeles singer to spiral into chaos. But when her unexpected pregnancy begins attracting violent attacks, haunting visions, and the attention of forces she cannot explain, Mary realizes something far more profound and far more dangerous is unfolding around her. Across the world, Joseph Riesman steps into his father's massive Jerusalem development project, only to encounter shadowy political figures and impossible, ancient forces moving beneath the surface of city and stone. What begins as a family obligation quickly becomes a collision with a power far greater than he understands. When a wounded archangel named Raphael intervenes and pays a devastating price, Mary and Joseph are thrust into a conflict waged by angels, fallen angels, and human agents who have been waiting centuries for this moment. Their every step is watched, manipulated, or hunted by those who fear what Mary's child represents. From the streets of Los Angeles to the contested ground of Jerusalem, the couple must navigate betrayal, spiritual warfare, and escalating threats from dark powers operating in both boardrooms and battlefields as they race to protect the life destined to change the world. Bold, cinematic, and charged with supernatural suspense, The Last Adam reimagines an ancient story through a modern lens of faith, danger, and divine purpose. What Others Say About This Book: Ron Echols's The Last Adam is a bold and genre-blending supernatural thriller that successfully balances cinematic storytelling with intimate, character-driven drama. Readers are treated to a high-stakes narrative that moves between the spiritual battlegrounds of Heaven and Earth, anchored by memorable and familiar characters like Mary Levitt, a struggling singer whose journey from rejection to divine purpose is both grounded and gripping. Echols weaves together elements of suspense, faith, and speculative fiction with remarkable confidence, making this a title that's equally at home on a church book club shelf or among fans of The Screwtape Letters and The Matrix. With a brisk pace and skillful worldbuilding, The Last Adam keeps readers invested through moments of wonder, fear, tenderness, and hope. It's rare to see a debut that balances accessibility with ambition this well. -Josh, CEO of Skookum Hill Publishing About the Author: Ron Echols is an ordained minister of the Gospel, an award-winning business executive, a 4-time Telly Award-winning producer, and now, with the recent publishing of The Last Adam, a debut author.
