There are a few times in my book blogging time where I have been able to say, this book has a bit of everything in it and it couldn’t be any better for it… A story that seamlessly interweaves fact with fiction to bring a unique mystery, adventure thriller. It successfully incorperates archaeological discoveries with religious conspiracies, fantasy and even sci-fi! For those sat thinking, well that’s not for me! Don’t miss out on a blockbuster of a novel…try it!
1965, Jericho: Archaeologists Karen and George Milburn make a discovery that could threaten everything the world has come to believe: an eye-witness account of a biblical event, with a prophecy for the future.
2002, Cambridge: their son, a computer science lecturer, is living an ordinary life with his wife and twin daughters… until the dreams start.
After reading his deceased parents’ journals, Milburn embarks on a dangerous journey of discovery. As his destiny unfolds he realises that the prophecy directly involves his family, and he vows to do whatever it takes to protect themA foretold eclipse reveals a stark warning for mankind, and the twins learn they have been given unusual powers… but they must learn how to use them, if they are to win the desperate and unequal fight to save their world.
How well does it sound? This is an unusual book with the multigenre mix but these two authors have successfully woven a story that hooks you right from the start. A slow burn of a story, in that all the foundations are painstakingly laid to pull every single thread of the story together perfectly.
Characters that are strong, unique and very believable along with obvious painstaking research which makes this a story that slowly takes over your life for the time it takes to devour. I was living and virtually breathing this book!
I have read books from Terri Nixon from different genres and have always loved her work. This book is Shelley Clarke with Terri Nixon and between them, they have created something so unique and special that I don’t even think this review does it justice.
Thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours, Shelley Clarke and Terri Nixon for the place on the tour and the copy of the book.
About Clarke Nixon
Clarke Nixon is author duo Shelley Clarke and Terri Nixon, who first met while working together in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Plymouth. They quickly became friends, and when Shelley had an idea for a story, Terri, already an established author, helped her to shape it into a novel and get it into print. Not only were they compatible colleagues, but they discovered they were a great writing team too.
Author Bio
Shelley Clarke
Shelley Clarke was born into a naval family in Kent in 1958, and consequently moved house a lot as a child. She had ambitions to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the Royal Navy, and to become a carpenter, but these were not female occupations at that time. So she learned to type… which has come in jolly handy for putting her stories first onto paper, and now onto screen.
Shelley is a keen painter, poet, and karaoke enthusiast; she loves mad family get-togethers, hates olives, ironing and gardening, and currently lives in Devon with her husband Kev, and their two Tibetan Terriers Nena and Pepi, who make them smile every day.
Shelley often forgets she is a grown-up.

Author Bio
Terri Nixon
Terri Nixon was born in Devon, but grew up on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, where she discovered a love of writing that has stayed with her ever since.
She also discovered apple-scrumping, and how to jump out of a hayloft without breaking any bones, but no-one’s ever offered to pay her for doing those.
Terri writes family sagas for Little, Brown, and thrillers for Hobeck Books, under R.D. Nixon. She has also written horror, as T Nixon, and contributed to several multi-author anthologies using a number of variations on her name/s. She might be forgiven for not knowing who she is on any given day.
