Book Review: The Alarmists – by Don Hoesel

The Alarmists by Don HoeselI love a good suspense novel.

The Alarmists is the newest work by author Don Hoesel.  I enjoyed it immensely!

Here’s the plot.  The world is quickly approaching a watershed moment in history.  Similar to Y2K, this moment could make or break humanity.  What moment is this?  The end of the Mayan calendar in December of 2012.

Sociologist Brent Michaels is contracted by a special unit of the military to help them examine the date of several strange occurrences around the world.  These could be coincidental, but they seem just a little too structured.  They have to be man-made.  But how?  And by whom?

That’s what Michaels has to figure out.  Is there really a plot to take advantage of a doomsday scenario for financial gain?  Just how far are these people willing to go with this?

Michaels teams up with one of the members of the elite military unit to figure this out.  While is is a committed atheist, and sees no need for faith, his team mate, who he’s increasingly attracted to, is a strong Christian.

The Alarmists is an intriguing story of suspense and fear, and humanity and faith.  I really enjoyed it.  If you like suspense fiction, then you need to pick up a copy of The Alarmists.  You’ll be glad you did!

  1. You should pick up “the last guardian” by Shane Johnson. It’s several years old (95 I think) but so far really good. I’m about halfway through. When I’m done, we can check out the lending feature on the kindle if you’re interested.

    • I've seen it, but haven't read it yet. Let me know when you're done with it. I'm reading another one by Hoesel right now, called Elisha's Bones. So far, it's pretty good. But I'm only a couple of chapters into it.
