The coming

press release

Junior reporter works on a life-changing investigation involving UFOs, the US military and shadow agencies 

Kevin J. Kurtz mixes alien visitations and biblical prophecies in his speculative fiction, ‘The Coming”


ROSEVILLE, Calif. – With the resurgence of UFO research and conspiracies involving the government, Kevin J. Kurtz felt that it would be the perfect time to use the trend as a backdrop to write about the return of Christ and the appearance of the “biblical antichrist.” This resulted in his latest book, “The Coming” (published by Trafford Publishing).


The story introduces Mark Mallory, a junior reporter for the Des Moines Register, who gets a big break to investigate a local crop circle anomaly. Through his investigation, he discovers an active military missile silo on the property and reported UFO sightings. Noticing his intervention, Mark is followed by the Department of Homeland Security, resulting in his hacked computer and bugged apartment.


A set of new friends from Iowa State University offers their skills to help Mark uncover the secrets of the U.S. military shadow agencies and UFOs. The team eventually discovers a cryptic message in the crop circle which reads, “He’s Coming.” Mark’s dormant faith is challenged by the revealed message.


Who is coming — is it Christ or is it the man of destruction described in Scripture who brings the apocalypse? How is the crop circle message, UFOs and the military all connected? With the fate of the world in the balance, will Mark have time to learn the truth and reveal the Bible’s darkest mystery?

Kurtz hopes that “The Coming,” with its unique fusion of alien visitations and biblical perspective, would prompt the readers to reflect on their own spiritual journey and to interpret scriptural prophecies and world events in a different way.

BOOK REVIEW

The Coming
by Kevin J. Kurtz
Trafford Publishing

book review by Kate Robinson


"Aliens... that brings a new twist to the end of time."


As a junior reporter with the Des Moines Register, Mark Mallory daydreams of bigger and better things. When he sees a local TV report of a crop circle appearance on a farm near Ames, Iowa, he knows it's time to graduate from his "Iowa Life" social announcements and move into investigative reporting. But Mark gets more than he bargained for when his research takes him to a live missile site that he knows should have been retired along with many others that were deactivated decades before. The woman whose farm the installation is on confesses that she and her late husband have received monthly rent checks from the federal government for over four decades. When she drives Mark to the site, the appearance of a man in a black suit shows Mark that his life is taking far stranger turns than he could ever imagine.


This lively Christian sci-fi novel jumps right on the UFO/ET bandwagon and jets off into government conspiracy territory. The story's pace is fast but not frenetic, taking some twists and turns both predictable and surprising. Mark and his ISU undergrad friends are distinctly characterized and highly relatable. Religion and spirituality of one sort or another play a role in the main characters' lives, so readers should be prepared to dip a toe into a less metaphysical tale and one within a strong Christian milieu. Some readers will likely see themselves in these college-age characters, whose varied approaches to dealing with everyday hurdles and life's mysteries are often thought-provoking and relatively non-prescriptive. A plot thread involving Mark is left unresolved and presumably is the focus of the next book of the series. The cliffhanger at the end should guarantee readership for the second installment.
