The Man of Legends | Kenneth Johnson
3 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Award-winning science-fiction mastermind Kenneth Johnson blends epic adventure, romance, and evocative drama into an intense supernatural thriller rooted in one of the great untold legends of human history. New York City, New Year’s weekend, 2001. Jillian Guthrie, a troubled young journalist, stumbles onto a tantalizing mystery: the same man, unaged, stands alongside Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning eighty-five years of history. In another part of town, Will—an enigmatic thirty-three-year-old of immense charm, wit, and intelligence—looks forward to the new year with hope and trepidation. Haunted by his secret past and shadowed by a dangerous stranger, he finds himself the object of an intense manhunt spearheaded by an ambitious Vatican emissary and an elderly former UN envoy named Hanna. During the next forty-eight hours, a catastrophic event unites Will, Jillian, and Hanna—and puts them in the crosshairs of a centuries-old international conspiracy. Together, the three must unravel an ancient curse that stretches back two millennia and beyond, and face a primal evil that threatens their lives and thousands more.

This book starts in the present and backtracks through history to give backstory through first person accounts from different points of view. The first two hundred pages had me wondering what in the actual hell was going on. If you like tension and suspense, then this will be one you enjoy. Just be prepared for quirky story presentation. Also has religious themes if you're put off by that.

Has anybody else found this book to be extremely racist? Or if not racist, did you find it to be way too liberal with lame race stereotypes? (I found it racist). It was one of June's Kindle First selections.
