The Last Adam by Ron Echols is a modern era story about the second coming of Christ. The title of the book is a biblical reference to Jesus. It is written from a Christian perspective regarding the battle between good and evil. Nonearly forces are called in on both sides of the battle as those same sides anticipate the birth of a new human who will be the force that turns the Earth into an example of success of the forces of good when the longstanding battle by the evil forces had slowly been winning that struggle. Mary and Joseph find one another to bring a male child into the world and it is their goal to keep the infant safe until he can begin to teach mankind the good values of Christianity.
I am probably not the right person to right this review given that I’m not a Christian, and I certainly don’t trust the values of Christianity given the history of corruption and cruelty that has followed organized Christian churches, be they Catholic or Protestant. However, I was asked to review the book and report my thoughts about it. In a short comment, it is perhaps the worst book I’ve ever read. It might sell well in Christian bookstores, but I have trouble imagining that it would do well in any other retail setting. This story was a repetition of a 2,000-year-old-myth and was certainly not my cup of tea.
