Three supernatural gifts. Two thousand years of division. One moment of truth. Hannah’s head hung, long brown hair in her eyes. Her face felt pasty with cold and fatigue and pain. Arms behind her back, she sat in a chair, wrists and ankles tied to the wooden frame, chair legs bolted to the floor. A cold car. A gun. Horror. Pain. Grief. Screaming. A windshield blistering with holes. Darkness. It all came over her like a flood. A pouring out of pictures in her mind. But then there was one more thing. Not an image, but a feeling--that half a continent away someone else had felt it all happening too. The Firstborn--three ancient religious orders gifted with the ability to see past, present, and future--have been divided since the death of Christ. But today, in an era of terrorism and globalization, it has become clear there is an atrocity coming that they must unite to prevent because it is one of them who will perpetrate it. Savage intrigue and a violent power struggle set the stage for three members of the Firstborn as they race against time through a labyrinth of deception and danger to save the lives of hundreds...

Despite my confused thoughts on this novel, it does have that fast-paced, gripping suspense. The plot is thought-provoking with spiritual lessons and follows the basis of doing God's will above all else, not what WE want to do. A powerful message in itself, for sure. It does have the true-to-life events in the world today, added to the story. Though confusing and jumpy to me, I easily read it in one day.
So, with those things being said, I give this book a 3.5 star rating. I don't normally give .5 star ratings but in this case, do to it confusing me, I couldn't give it 4 or 5 stars, but the authors efforts for his debut novel are skillful and talented, I couldn't give it a flat 3 star rating. If you aren't easily confused (could be that I was born blonde!) and like the fast paced thrillers then Conlan Brown's The Firstborn is a must read for you! I am ready to dive into book 2, The Overseer to see if I can enjoy that one better! (
