"Cyberdawn: Beginnings" - A Biblical-Level Conspiracy
What if every conspiracy theory you'd ever heard was true... and it still wasn't enough? Now toss in liberal amounts of a supernatural angle; creatures from just about every mythology you can think of, but they're all working on the same side. The "People"; creatures and supernatural beings hiding in the shadows, manipulating our society, getting us ready for... what? This is the world of the near future, a world in which all guns are outlawed even for the police, the only real weapons to be had available to the megacorp International Securities. Megacorp generosity makes life easy for everyone, no crime, religions failing as people grow out of the old world nonsense (though there IS the Church of Freud and Church of the Internet), and with the pending world unity everything is coming up roses. Of course, if you're Black Jack Hannigan, it smells more like fattening up the calf before the slaughter.
Now enter a priest who's just finished a more accurate translation of the Bible that reveals the Book or Revelations was not a prediction but a warning. Before Black Jack's very eyes his priestly friend is ripped apart by creatures that shouldn't exist; large winged black panthers that can take a bullet from five feet away. A conspiracy is afoot the likes of which he cannot yet imagine, and he just got the blame for the priest's death and every other bad thing someone can think of. But he's not the only one. Others have stumbled upon a small part of this massive iceberg of a conspiracy that stretches to every corner of the globe... and beyond. For Armageddon is not a time, but a PLACE where the world will end.
This is the first of a 5-book series that defines the most paranoid tale you will ever read. But don't take my word for it. the following is taken out from a 5-star review of Cyberdawn from Readers' Favorite (https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/cyberdawn):

Cyberdawn: Beginnings by Mark Anthony Tierno is a whopper of a science fiction novel of conspiracy theories that would have Alex Jones flipping pages. It's a massive book with a lot going on inside its chapters, but Tierno is such an entertaining writer that the story goes by too fast, leaving you wanting more. And that's the good part because this is the first in a five-book series. This imaginative tale is overflowing with an intriguing plot, fresh characters, energetic dialogue, and vibrant prose. The story poses a world without weapons because peace is finally here and violence is a thing of the past. It's what everyone has wanted since mankind began. But the main character, Black Jack Hannigan, suspects the worst-case scenario: That no weapons, no defense, means people are ripe for slaughter. And in this case, sacrificial offerings. The people of Earth don't realize it, but they need weapons of self- defense because they've been lulled into a false sense of security and utopia. This is where Black Jack and Dr. Winter come into play. They want to arm citizens against slaughter by The Masters/creatures, but will it be enough? If the Eye of the Apocalypse opens, is it too late?
This is an ambitious tale combining science fiction, fantasy, mythology, horror, creatures, cyberpunk, and some surprises. Tierno writes with the immediacy of a screenplay--perfect for such a sprawling story and much appreciated. The pace of the plot is quick, the action dynamic, the violence necessary but not over the top. The supporting characters like Hyram and Archbishop O'Malley add to the colorful cast. You'll zip through the story like a graphic novel, and it has a vitality that's visceral. If you like race-against- time plots that keep you turning pages, you need to read Cyberdawn: Beginnings by Mark Anthony Tierno.

My favorite line in that is "a whopper of a science fiction novel of conspiracy theories that would have Alex Jones flipping pages." :)
