Absolute Proof

Product Information

The phone call that could ultimately change the whole of mankind, is from an elderly gentleman claiming that he has absolute proof of God’s existence, and he believes Ross is the only person who can help him get the message out there, and ultimately save the world! Another fantastic read from Peter James. This time, it's a stand-alone, 'What if?' story; what if absolute proof was found of God's existence? We follow a vast array of different characters, including the main man, journalist Ross Hunter. He wasn't really all that likeable in my eyes, but I guess it is more about the plot with this read. It wasn't necessarily an edge of your seat read, but suspenseful elements were peppered all the way through, which were enough to keep me hooked start to finish. Apologies to you if you loved the book but there was so much I just couldn't get past with this one and we will have to agree to disagree. James doesn’t do a lot of theorising but there is enough, amongst all the action, to make the story interesting and cause the reader stop and think.

Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Group Canada for an advanced copy of this thought provoking and interesting book. It raises important concerns about the nature of God and science. The plot ventures into Dan Brown territory, which to me is a positive thing. The story is long and complex, but easy and compelling reading. And Ross himself. I had major issues with Ross. For a smart guy, he made some incredibly silly decisions. His relationship with his wife... Whatever that was going on with Sally... His decisions and naivety through 99% of the book floored me and I got so frustrated with him. I enjoy a book with romance, I don't enjoy a romance when the man is married to someone who is NOT the love interest. It felt like his wife's behaviour in the beginning of the book was used as an excuse to why he was behaving like he was later on, even though years had passed. When I heard there was a new book from Peter James and a hint of “The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown” I was intrigued to know more. This book is quite a “me” book because of the themes and the ideas in it. The title “absolute proof” comes from the idea that there could be some absolute proof that proves the existence of a god, although I’d have to say that the majority of the book doesn’t necessarily align with that.I'm also curious as to how proving the existence of Jesus Christ would constitute definitive proof of God's existence? But that could just be my ignorance showing. Absolute Proof has its roots in an idea that came to James many years ago, and I got the vibe that he’s put a lot of thought into it, and not just when it comes to the plotting and the characterisation. He’s clearly asked himself a lot of the questions that the novel raises, just so that he can write with a little more conviction. And yet at the same time, it doesn’t feel preachy. Brilliant writer, just hate it when there aren’t anymore in the series available and I have to hunt around for another author in the same genre. I have found some which I also enjoy. Reply Though I appreciate authors like to flex their muscles by writing a different genre from time to time. If this sounds like your cup of tea then give it a go. I have heard it being compared to the Da Vinci Code. I actually really enjoyed the Da Vinci Code... Not the movie, but the book... And in a lot of ways I can see the comparison. So if you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code and want a similar themed book, this one might be right up your alley.

I’d just like to assure you I’m not a nutcase, Mr Hunter. My name is Dr Harry F. Cook. I know this is going to sound strange, but I’ve recently been given absolute proof of God’s existence – and I’ve been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.’ Host was adapted into a made for tv movie by the US Network in 1998. Dr. Joe Messenger, played by Peter Gallagher, gives into the seduction of a terminally ill woman. He later finds that she has uploaded herself into a computer. Now she threatens to destroy his family from beyond the grave. ITV made Prophecy into a feature in 1995. A Ouija Board, an archaeologist, and a widower with his son are all connected. His father ran the business as well as an accountant. His sister Genevieve now runs the company along with her husband. He attended Charterhouse School and later attended Ravensbourne Film School. James spent a few years working in North America as a film producer and screenwriter. He got his start in 1970 on the Canadian children’s television show Polka Dot Door as an errand boy and later writer. He cofounded Movision Pictures in the nineties.Hunter experiences inner turmoil. As an agnostic, his own belief system is called into question when he has an other-worldly experience of his own, leading him to question the existence of a higher intelligence. It's really hard to believe that Peter James has put his name to this novel. Had he been an unknown author it's more than unlikely that this novel would ever have been published. Only goes to show that even talented writers like Peter James can get it so wrong. There's plenty of action and points where you definitely have to suspend your disbelief, but it's a really enjoyable read. It's a fairly long novel so really settle in and lose yourself in this fun, really entertaining read. Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have?
