Can you trust what you read? In this thrilling
adventure, Lori Stephens explores the
potential language has to influence our
beliefs and actions, and how dangerous the
knowledge of this potential can be in the
wrong hands. When a strange book is
connected with a grisly murder, Gatsby
Donovan is selected to help decode its
cryptic language. But as she deciphers the
strange syllables, she discovers that there is
much more to this text than just the words on
the pages—and even she may not be able to
resist its power. Alpha, Omega will keep you
on the edge of your seat as you follow
Gatsby along the path of an investigation
which soon consumes her life, ultimately
forcing her to confront her own hidden,
painful past.

Cults have never been good news for the
religions they parallel. Evil fairly drips from
this story of a PTSS victim who now must face
her boogeyman again as a scientist-detective
delving into the group religious psyche of
Omega. I read this book in one sitting,
convinced that as a believer, I would find
something to roar about in Ms. Stephens’
gripping portrayal of a nasty man, and his
nasty companions. Nothing good could come
out of self-serving religion, the author seems
to say. But I was caught by the emotional
struggle of her two protagonists to create a
real relationship, in the rawness of the
present, in the hope of something honest.
While The Da Vinci Code asks the question, “Is
our eschatological symbol for goodness who
we think he is?” Alpha Omega asks “Come on
now, what does it really mean to be human?”
