Thanks for the generous offer of a review copy, but at this time I’m deeply involved in several projects. Given the synopsis, I’m not sure your book would be my particular cup of tea. However, I wish you well and hope approving your comment draws you some extra interest in your work. Blessings.

As you are also a Messianic Rabbi In Training, I especially would be interested in your point of view of the idea of the “future Jesus” as portrayed in this mix of sci fi and religion.

If you would like a review copy, please let me know where you would like it sent.

I also have additional background information available such as an author Q&A, a bio, and a storyline review.

Brief synopsis and pre-reviews

In the distant future, on a planet far from Earth, a religious preacher appears just as war threatens to engulf the galaxy. He brings a compelling message of sacrifice, encouraging the people to break free from their meaningless and lifeless customs. His gospel challenges both the ritualistic religious leaders and an oppressive occupying power.

His name is Jesus.

Treb Captain Wins research ship is commandeered by the military to undertake a covert mission to find a missing freighter carrying illicit weapons. Along on the mission are two trouble-some humans: a shady government official who isnt telling Win the whole story about the mission, and a scientist who has developed a controversial theory about the connection between religion and cultural advancement.

When the search for the weapons leads to KTuria, Win and his companions are caught between Jesus, the priests, and their enemies. Drawn into an unfolding drama that is eerily familiar to what happened on Earth, they are forced to make a desperate choice: save the galaxy or save Jesus.

Reading The Eternal Messiah has rekindled a long term interest in science fiction – a genre with no boundaries, which is brilliantly exploited by the authors as we are drawn into a complex world of intergalactic struggles and intrigue. The fascinating idea that Jesus Christ enters into the mix and has been returning to challenge evolution and to find out if the eternal truth has at last been understood, adds a profound philosophic dimension to the story. And what is the eternal truth? The only way to find out is to read this enthralling book.

In The Eternal Messiah: Jesus Of K’Turia, W.R. Pursche and Michael Gabriele dramatize the provocative idea that the appearance of a Messiah is what transforms stagnant, tradition-bound societies into vibrant and humane civilizations. One does not have to be a believer to be intrigued and moved by this well-told story: an excellent work of theological sci-fi.

A rich, well-written story with compelling characters, taking you on a journey of belief.
