Scott A. Lerner’s Ruler of Demons is a fast
read. At first I laughed out loud at the
depiction of Catholic transubstantiation, Catholic clergy, and the hovering
hints of secret plots. My Catholic
senses braced for Catholic bashing and ridiculous portrayals of what I hold
sacred. But then I got drawn into the
story.
The story has the major character, Sam, in a race, to solve
a puzzle, prevent more ritualistic murders, and crazy as you probably think,
force God’s hand to end the world. You
won’t think it’s so crazy when you’re in the story.
Hey, this isn’t theology 101; it’s a story, and you will be
following Sam, and his sidekick, Bob, traveling from the USA, to Israel, to
France. They have a week to fix
everything, solve the mystery, debunk the myth, and stop the bad guys. And oh yeah, save the world.
One of the best techniques in this thriller is the
pace. Your heart will race. But you won’t have a heart attack, because
the author is skilled in breaking up the pace with humor. Sam’s and Bob’s banter will make you
laugh. Sometimes you have to stop and
think, and then you’ll guffaw. (He who
laughs last laughs best.) They’re
clever, witty, and likeable.
I think everyone will enjoy this story. You won’t figure it out. You won’t expect any of the twists the characters find themselves going
through. You won’t want the world to
end. Yet, (no spoilers)!
