Nephilim: The Truth is Here (Nephilim Series Vol. 1) [Paperback] by L.A. Marzulli


Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In this debut, Art "Mac" Mackenzie, an alcoholic reporter, is chipping away at a boring fact piece when he stumbles upon evidence of a government cover-up. Undercover, Mac infiltrates the restricted sixth floor of a new hospital, where supposed mental patients, all women, are kept sedated and restrained. One woman tells him that something fathered an inhuman child in her: Nephilim, child of a fallen angel and a human mother. With a dynamic plot, mesmerizing ideas, and enough hi-tech and government conspiracy to please the most demanding fans, Marzulli's book is the first, one hopes, in a thrilling new series.

Review

"A very provocative scenario. It appears Lynn Marzulli has done his homework." -- Chuck Missler, author of Alien Encounters

"The truth is out there, and journalist "Mac" MacKenzie must find it. This is an XFiles-type story with demons masquerading as aliens. Marzulli is one masterful storyteller with a chillingly believable tale." -- Houston Chronicle, October 16th, 1999

“They’re not human. They come from somewhere else, somewhere far away . . .”
Two years ago, Art “Mac” Mackenzie was a respected newspaper journalist with a wonderful family and a bright future. Now he lives alone, fighting the temptation to drink and trying to survive as a freelance writer. His faith in God, humanity, and virtually everything else is gone. All that’s left is a pile of bills and the ache of his son’s death.

Then comes the opening of the multi-million-dollar new wing of the Westwood Center, the assignment to cover it . . . and, on the sixth-floor psychiatric ward, a distraught patient’s fantastic tale of alien abduction and impregnation. So begins a media story with international implications—and more trouble than Mac has ever imagined.

Skeptical but hot for a story, Mac follows a lead to Israel, where he comes across the remains of a nephilim: an ancient biblical giant, sired by demons and born of human women. It’s just the tip of a terrifying supernatural iceberg—for the nephilim are back. And forces beyond Mac’s comprehension will do anything to prevent him from revealing their secret -- Publisher

I have not read this yet - just sharing something that seems interesting to fans of this blog.  It is part one of a trilogy of books.  It is fiction - which I rarely read anymore as I find real life sensational enough! - but the subject matter is interesting, so...  The author IS a Xian pastor, so be aware, although the various reviews state it's not 'preachy' or anything.  He HAS done his homework, which can't always be said when it comes to most Xian writers.  He has also appeared on the History Channel MASTERPIECE(my opinion) series "Ancient Aliens".

If this subject matter interests you - and why wouldn't it? - you might wanna take a look at this former blog post.
