Infernal Gates by Michael Jack Webb is the story of two people who are trying to protect the world from an ancient evil that may be just too powerful for two ordinary men. Ethan is an ex-Special Forces Ranger who was not expecting his life to go downhill when he was simply traveling with his family. Aboard a plane that crashed, he lost his family and came out of the accident as the sole survivor. As if losing everyone he loved in one go was not enough, he is under the suspicion of being a mass murderer. However, Sam Weaver, the NTSB Chief Investigator, believes that Ethan is telling the truth. But if Ethan had nothing to do with it, how come he survived when nobody else did? Unbeknownst to them, there is a group of people who are the descendants of ancient Sumerian gods and they want to let The Destroyer out to annihilate the ones it does not deem worthy. What do these people want to achieve by releasing The Destroyer? What are they going to gain from it? Can Sam and Ethan stop them before they unleash the evil on innocents?

Wow, can I just say that this novel was beyond anything I imagined. From the moment I read the blurb, I knew that I would have to read this novel. This is not your run of the mill supernatural thriller where you can predict every single thing, including the ending. I was blown away with the number of details that the author put into the story to make it believable. The characters had a natural charm that not only made them great but also seem very real. Ethan was desperate yet very witty while Sam was intelligent and smart; they made a great team and ensured that the reader got to experience the best ride. Kudos to the author for writing such a phenomenal novel and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. Absolutely brilliant!

It is rare to find novels that are as well written and enthralling as Michael Jack Webb’s Infernal Gates. It was enough for me to read the first few chapters to realize that it would be an amazing story. However, I could not imagine such a complex and riveting story. It all begins with a plane accident. Ethan Freeman was on board the A320 Airbus with his family when the plane fatally crashed. For inexplicable reasons, Ethan survives and wakes up in his own house with just a few bruises. His initial aim is to find out the truth about the accident and his incredible survival, but then he will have to measure himself against supernatural forces.

Describing Infernal Gates as a “supernatural novel” would limit rather than explain it. This is one of the most intriguing books I have recently read. Webb is knowledgeable in many subjects, and this book reflects his familiarity with science, religion, history, and various other topics. Webb has been able to use all this material without contradictions and pointless digressions. Infernal Gates is a consistent book, and even though it is rather a long read, it is so intelligently written that the story flows smoothly. I like the alternation between explanations and adventures. If the former helps the reader to understand what is going on, the latter adds suspense and action. Finally, I have to praise the excellent portrayal of the characters, who are well carved and have precise traits. In short, Infernal Gates is an exciting read that supernatural fiction readers will enjoy.

Webb has achieved a remarkable balance between the unrelenting action in the story and the revelation of who each character is at heart. The masterful treatment of spiritual realities in the lives of the characters caused me to enter with them into the supernatural world being presented. The ensuing battle between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God is an old story told with the relevance and freshness of today’s headlines.
This book is great entertainment that has the added bonus of being equally thought provoking. I found it to be challenging in a good way.
