About this ebook

The book "Prophecy" is a book for truth seekers, because it reveals what the prophets of "The Bible" said in the prophecies. It is an interpretation that can't be denied, but one that most people won't accept though it's dearly written and is the truth. It is raw, biblical, factual, and controversial, and all the texts are interpreted from "The Bible" and explained through history, and life's experience, and it is written so that those who are seeking the truth would search the scriptures and seek THE HOLY SPIRIT to know what they should do to finish the race of life and gain their reward. The stories are told prophet by prophets, book by book, and verse by verse in order as one complete story from The Old Testament to The New Testament, up until Jesus resurrected to heaven. It is part of a two part series in which this book. "Prophecy" explain the prophecies up until Jesus, and. the other book "Revelation is Prophecy II" explain from the time of Jesus to what Jesus said would happen in the prophecies of "The End Times"

    5/5
    This follows directly on from 'Heresy',the earlier adventures of Giordano Bruno,a secret agent who works for Sir Francis Walsingham. The murder of one of Queen Elizabeth's maids of honour,closely followed by another,creates panic at Court and fears for the safety of Her Majesty. Plots aplenty as various factions attempt to gain power and put their particular candidate for the English crown on the throne. Things are complicated by the Queen's astrologer,Doctor Dee,who is making some dangerous predictions regarding Her Majesty,which some regard as treason.A highly readable series and a great character in the form of Bruno.

    What a fabulous read! I loved this book. This is the second book in the Giordano Bruno series and I recommend the first one Heresy just as much as this one. This book hits the ground running as soon as you begin and doesn't leave off the suspense until the very last page. A mystery that leaves you guessing until the very end with plot twists and surprises that you never see coming. I most definitely can't wait to see what the author has in store for Giordano and am anxiously awaiting the next release. Recommended very highly for historical fiction and mystery fans alike.

    An excellent followup to Heresy, S.J. Parris' Prophecy sees Giordano Bruno back in the thick of things, trying to keep a conspiracy from bringing down Queen Elizabeth (and hopefully keeping himself alive in the process).Parris' depiction of John Dee's laboratory and library alone make the book worth reading; the fact that she's also managed to put together a good, complicated political thriller is icing on the cake. Her Bruno is an enjoyable character, and even though my favorite character from the last book (the bookseller Rowland Jenkes) doesn't make a re-appearance, I suppose there's hope that he might return in the next volume.The third volume in the series arrived this week (prompting me to read this one quickly so I can catch up); I'm looking forward to it with anticipation.

    This historical mystery is the second in the Giordano Bruno series involving the Italian heretic monk excommunicated from the 16th century Catholic faith for his scientific studies that were contrary church dogma. Bruno's deductive services are again requested by Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Francis Walsingham. The 25th anniversary of the queen's accession to the throne is near and one of the queen's maid of honors has been discovered murdered, which is soon followed by another. Both murders involve victims who have astrological signs inscribed into their skin. Bruno is pressured into finding the killer or killers before an assassination plot agains the queen can be realized. As an Episcopalian and fan of historical mysteries, I enjoy reading this series.

    I love the Giordano Bruno character. This was another great thriller with the same believable characters and enough history to make if very interesting. I am looking forward to the third Bruno escapade.

    This Historical thriller is the second in the series with excommunicated monk Giordano Bruno as the central character. Bruno, a "secret agent" of Walsingham (one of Queen Elizabeth's advisors), is part of the French embassy's delegation. Sent to England by King Henri to avoid religious repercussions, Bruno is drawn into the murders of two of the Queen's Maids of Honor as well as a plot on the Queen's life and replacement on her throne by Mary of Scotland. The murders are vailed with the mystery of the Prophecy related to the great Conjunction - Saturn and Jupiter aligning - which foretells of the end of an age. Just as we all know from history, the rivalry of Elizabeth and Mary is also the rivalry of Catholic vs. Protestant. The investigation weaves together the occult of the period as well as the conspiracies of the characters.Great characters as well as a great story.

    It is 1583, and Giordano Bruno has fled Italy to escape religious persecution but is he any safer in England? A young woman is found dead, but it is no ordinary death. What makes matters worse-- she was Queen Elizabeth's maid and her body was found within the palace walls. Bruno is enlisted to help solve the murder however he discovers a much bigger plot that puts his life in danger- not to mention the life of the Queen! Will he discover the murderer in time and how does religion and magic factor into everything....Great historical who-dun-it! Suspense, mystery and history all rolled into one. I found the novel a bit hard to get into a first but that soon changed and once I was drawn in it kept me wondering until the end. Perfect summer read for historical fiction fans!

    The novel covers the conflict with the followers of Queen Elizabeth I and Mary Stewart. Giordano Bruno is a former monk. His Patron is King Henry III of France. he's living under the protection of the French ambassador in England. Bruno secretly sides with Queen Elizabeth and was hired by her spymaster to dig up useful information that would help the Queen. The plot has twists and turns with the added mystery of the murder of the Queen's ladies. I was drawn into the story until the very last page.

    This was the second novel in this series featuring Giordano Bruno as the sleuth in exile in England from the Inquisition and working for Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's spymaster. He is here uncovering yet another Catholic plot, this one involving Henry Howard, younger brother of the Duke of Norfolk who was executed after plotting to overthrow the Queen and marry Mary, Queen of Scots. Henry Howard's plot involves other English rebel Catholics, the Duke of Guise, the Spanish Ambassador Mendoza and the Scots. And the mystic/magician John Dee, unwittingly, as well. It is intricately plotted and very well written and researched, but I do not feel the depth of characterisation present in C J Sanson's Matthew Shardlake.

    I quite enjoyed this book, the background is well researched and well woven into an intricate plot, featuring a large cast of nicely drawn characters. BUT, it is around 60 pages too long and thus lacks the pace needed to make it a four star book for me. BUT I will be reading book 3 and, probably, book 4.

    This book is a historical thriller set in 1583 about excommunicated monk Giordano Bruno. He is living in the French embassy in England, and finds himself investigating the murder of one of Queen Elizabeth's maids. Like any story about the intrigues of the court, there are plots to replace Elizabeth and to restore Catholicism to its rightful place in England. Not only is there a nice mix of history and intrigue, there are elements of prophecy and forbidden arts. This is the second book in the series, but you don't need to have read Heresy to understand what is going on. However, there are references to what happened throughout so I wish I had read Heresy first. This book is impeccably researched and well written. A great historical fiction/thriller. flag

    I received this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. At first, I found it difficult to get into, and the storyline seemed somewhat twisted and opaque, but as the book went on I became more interested in the story. I believe this is actually the second in a series with Giordiano Bruno as the main character. Interesting read, but slow at first. I plan on picking up the first title soon!

    Giordano Bruno is a disgraced monk, excommunicated because he wouldn't stop reading books condemned by the Catholic Church. He fled his Italian monastery one jump ahead of the Inquisition. Now he's sheltering at the French embassy in London and gathering intelligence for Walsingham, Elizabeth I's spymaster. His latest adventure involves Catholic plots to free the imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots, doomsday prophecies and murder at the heart of Elizabeth's court. I found it hard to put down and especially interesting because I'm listening to Margaret George's "Elizabeth I" at the same time. This is set in a slightly earlier time period, but features many of the same historical figures.
