Synopsis

What do an international Cabal controlling the world from the shadows, a Russian assassin looking for work, secret laboratories scattered around the world attempting to revive an ancient evil from the time of the tower of Babel, a repentant climate scientist and a German bureaucrat who only wears black clothes have in common? They are all connected, and it’s up to Nathanael Wayfarer, his girlfriend Natasha and her sister, Michelle, Queen Bee of the Dark Net, to find out how. This is the latest and greatest adventure in the Nathanael Wayfarer series, another gripping thriller that runs at an even more unrelenting pace. The third well-researched novel in the Nathanael Wayfarer Series by Andrew Partington will not fail to thrill. An excerpt from Appendix 2 – the Nephilim. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. GENESIS 6:1-6, 9This short, mysterious passage has caused much grief to commentators throughout the years, and Calvin following Augustine subscribed to a spurious interpretation where the sons of God were a righteous line of human beings, descendants of Seth, versus the sons of Cain who were evil. But before the second century AD there was no doubt in the minds of theologians and philosophers that these sons of God were rebellious angels, come down from heaven, who took some sort of physical form on the earth and chose wives from among human women to inseminate. Presumably one of their purposes was to confuse the seed of the serpent and the seed of Adam in order to prevent the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 coming true, “his seed shall crush your head.” Noah’s flood was partially intended to put a stop to that plan, apparently, although for some reason the offspring of the sons of God and their human wives seem to have lingered into the postdiluvian world; how this could be is not clearly explained in the text. These offspring were called “Nephilim” in Genesis 6, a mysterious Hebrew or perhaps Aramaic word whose translation is today perhaps uncertain but in the second century BC it was translated into Greek as γιγαντες, gigantes, meaning ‘giants’ in the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint; and it is perhaps not unreasonable to assume that the scholars who translated the Bible in those days might have known better than we do today what a particular word might mean… By the way, “Sons of God”, in the Old Testament, is a term used also in the Book of Job and Psalm 82 to refer to an angelic council, a ruling council that governs the nations, beneath God, a council which in the New Testament is superseded by Jesus and all who believe in Him, because of Jesus’ victory on the cross. (Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 2:15, Colossians 3:1) In Genesis 6:9 it says that Noah was ‘perfect in his generations’ it could actually mean Noah’s family line had no DNA from the sons of God corrupting it.
