Review

Bookstores should have a category called "Maybe Fiction" where The Course of Fate trilogy, a fascinating read, would fit perfectly. Steve Hanson takes us on intriguing adventures that depict how scriptural prophecies could indeed unfold. We meet anthropologists, professors, drug lords, autocrats, reporters, undercover agents, televangelists, saints, rabbis, precocious children, and even shamans. And especially subtle and not-so-subtle villains of the adversary.
The settings are equally engrossing including: Mesoamerican jungles where mysterious ancient records are sealed up; the United States where defenders of righteousness battle secret combinations; and Jerusalem, scene of destructive cleansing preceding the Millennium.
I would not be surprised if at some future date, when we see how the puzzle pieces of foretold events actually came together, we say to ourselves, "How did Steve Hanson know this?"
-- Gary Lawrence, author of The Magnificent Gift of Agency

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting culmination to the trilogy

I enjoyed the 3-part story. Very well written with obviously extensive research into actual names and places. I felt drawn into the story as though I was the fly on the wall observing all that was happening. The kind of book I find hard to put down.

Loved how the characters evolved as they were forced to question and find themselves. Reminds us once again that sometimes individuals who do bad things have allowed their beliefs to cloud their judgment.

Read the first book released under the previous title. This one was better. It starts out slow, but the tempo builds as the story develops.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zion Centers?
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020
I was intrigued with the Zion Centers in this book. These people had kind of isolated themselves from the rest of the world for their own protection both spiritual and physical. I liked that you didn’t have to belong to a specific religion or any religion for that matter to be in a Center. You just needed to be moral, peace loving, and willing to follow reasonable rules. I was intrigued by the way they were able to protect themselves. Definitely some science fiction here, but not off the charts. And the leaders of the Centers were really mysterious, but it made total sense when I found out who they were. Fascinating!

5.0 out of 5 stars You can just see it happening!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
I can really see now how this series is based on scriptural prophecy. But it is all so realistic in its presentation that unless you were familiar with last day prophecies, you’d miss it. There’s nothing hyped here at all. You can just see it happening. I’m taking a deep breath and re-reading the whole series again to catch things I may have missed. And another thing. If for no other reason, read every book in The Course of Fate series to get to the epilogue. I guarantee you no books you’ve ever read end with a smash like these books do!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Story line keeps moving!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
While this series is definitely about macro-events, the intimate story lines have made it personal for me. Sari, the girl who was kidnapped in SHATTER, is a young woman in this book and has her own struggles with her love life, her faith, and what she wants. She is surrounded by others who each have their own very unique personalities and drives. Their stories carry the plot right along. And there are some really bad guys (and gals) that make Book of Mormon Gadianton Robbers look like Sunday School teachers. I love it!
