Review: "The Unyielding Future" by Brian O'Grady

Fantastic!!! Just like a roller coaster, this story starts out slowly but you hit the pinnacle and the plot zooms to the end, leaving you breathless!!! In Austin, Texas, there is a school shooting that is impossibly averted by a mysterious elderly man. Because of some minor injuries, he is taken to the local hospital where he meets a prominent doctor who is the narrator of the tale. From this point forward, the doctor and his family’s life are not the same. They are thrown into impossible situations that are controlled by mysterious forces. He struggles to protect his family from energies that can’t be explained.

I can’t praise this book enough. The first chapter or two, while Mr. O’Grady is laying the necessary groundwork for the story, are a little sluggish but after that, it is a powerhouse. His writing is engaging with just enough humor to insure you don’t get bogged down with the complexity of the storyline or the questions it raises. The characters of the doctor and his family are well developed and engaging. The plot is action packed, thought provoking and intricate enough to give you pause for thought.

I am so glad I started reading this book on a Friday because I could not put it down!!! I highly recommend this story to anyone, young adult and up who has ever questioned the forces of good and evil and also predestination. This will give you lots to ponder, even after the last page is turned.
