Fabulous is a good word to start this review (I'm not great at reviews I'm afraid). I first read the short story which whetted my appetite for more so downloaded the whole trilogy and I'm now on Book 3, loving every page. The subject matter is something I'm most interested in, alternative views on creation, intervention and how stories have been manipulated by organised religions. There are also some points within the story that are worth further consideration. Just my cup of tea.
The story is original and inventive and Mr Allen has certainly done his research into religion, history, quantum physics and philosophy. There is no specific genre in which to place the Eloah series, it is a thriller but covers most of the others including some sci-fi and fantasy. I found this story to be beautifully written, engaging and exciting with a fabulous plot and super characters and dialogue. I don't want to spoil the story by explaining it here but do want to let you know that the only disappointing part was coming to the end of the book!

About the Author
Lex Allen is the author of the Imagine Trilogy, which includes the speculative science fiction thrillers No Heaven, No Hell and No Religion. A Texas expatriate, Lex settled in Germany after long stints with the U.S. Army and civil service with the U.S. Department of Defense. He began his third career - full time author - in 2012 and has published two novels and a short story anthology under the pseudonym, Alex Eldrich. A semi-professional musician from the early 1980's through the present, Lex wrote, recorded and published fourteen songs with MCP Records in Austria that led to accolades from the European Country Music Association as "Best Band and Best Album" in 1997. He currently performs with an acoustic trio at clubs and private parties in Germany. Raised in a Southern Baptist home, Lex quickly became disenfranchised with organized religion. He studied Buddhism and learned the concepts of spiritualism. In the last several years, Lex has developed a solid, laic understanding of quantum physics theories as well. More than ten years of reading and research into these subjects and the history of monotheistic religions, in particular Christianity, provided the foundation for the concepts found in the Imagine Trilogy . Lex is currently working on his third novel, No Religion, scheduled for publication in late 2013.

Well-handled
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2014Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this story. And being a Catholic I believed I'd have some serious issues with it, but after checking out the reviews, I had an idea of what to expect. What did I get? I got more and it was worth the read. The characters were well developed, and the idea of Jesus Christ being an alien, well, I believe that anyway so it was no great leap for me...but for those fundamentalists who might read this, it'll certainly be hard to swallow. Mr Allen is a writer that has put his idea out there and delivered it respectfully without seeking to 'push buttons'. Luckily for his readers he has brought it all together in a writing style that reminds me much of Dan Brown but with more depth. A great achievement.

Heaven may well exist, it's just differnt to how you thought it might be.

No Heaven
I found this a very intriguing read. Great settings and characters I can believe in and an obvious in-depth knowledge from the writer on the subject matter/s. Description and speech are real, showing this writers ability to bring the reader along on the journey.
Believable!
I've often thought of God/Jesus as coming from another planet. It makes sense. Who knows, in a few thousand years when mankind lands on another planet and mixes with the indigenous race we may be seen as gods too. This story takes that one stage further with...well, I'll let you read and find out, but if this is the second coming, then I for one will not be too worried.
I found the concept real, the story flows well and short concise chapters' keeps the pages turning. The pace of the story is excellent. I was disappointed to come to the end!
I suspect this might upset a few deeply religious people but that, to me is half the fun, it opens up questions that you just have to think about even if you cannot answer some of them. Great sub-plots keep you thinking too.
I wasn't going to mention Dan Brown but seeing as his name crops up...
I've now read both and know which I prefer. Please don't think this is the same sort of story as D B, it is not!
Will I buy the second and third books in the series? Is the Pope a Catholic?

A great idea which is told well
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2014Verified Purchase
I want to be very careful not to give anything away in this review. One of the best things about the book was how well it kept me guessing about what was happening and how things would develop. The story is well written and exciting and moves along at a good pace. The characters felt realistic and I cared what happened to them. The whole idea is fascinating and I look forward to reading the next in the series.
The one thing I had problems with was a tendency to swap characters point of view within a scene. It wasn't a major issue and didn't happen all the time, but for me it was a bit jarring and tended to remind me I was reading a book rather than remaining immersed in it.
Overall, a very good first book in the series. Well worth a read.

Totally absorbing!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2013Verified Purchase
No Heaven is the first book in a trilogy and is an absolute corker! From the very first page, the action is fast-paced and the characters engaging and realistic.
This tale is a mixture of Dan Brown style conspiracy, mixed with some science fiction and religious, thought-provoking ideas.
A man claims to be Jesus, the son of God and draws key other characters into his secret world whilst being pursued by the CIA, amongst others. Each character has been chosen for a particular purpose and the complex story woven by the author which links these characters will drive you ever onwards until it becomes impossible to put the book down.
This is a great first instalment and will have everyone reaching for the second book.
