Publisher's Summary:

Visited by an angel Theodoros is instructed to make the Gears of Uriel, which is passed from one generation to the next for more than five hundred years. This family are the guardians who protect it from the evil enveloping our world, casting Theodoros' life into mayhem. Following each of his descendants and the danger often accompanying the device, this is a spiritual quest, exposing how religion has often cloaked the truth from mankind, with risk of death to the keepers of truth - those heretics who speak up against an organization claiming to be God's mouthpiece and ultimate authority.

The spiritual conflict spans centuries, illustrating the nature of religious worship, from ancient times into the modern. No matter how much things change, they remain the same. Set in ancient Greece on the island of Antikythera, this is vivid, surreal, and a smorgasbord of antiquated ritual. Metaphysical historical fantasy has found a true home in this novel. Angels walk with men, the realm of gods has no boundary, and religious family feuds are the most misguided toxin of all. This is a profound tale which delivers a journey worthy of the saints.

Members Reviews:

It's like going on a spiritual quest like no other.

Although this book is not the genre i normally read, I found it to be very compelling and hard to put down. The authors blend of mythological creatures spirituality and history made it a very interesting Quest. It was obvious the author really did a great deal of research to make this book come alive. As Jeff Blackmer's brother, I have read all of his books and each one has been an enjoyable read. This book however takes his writing in a new direction, one i am sure readers will find wanting more. It is amazing to me that Jeff Blackmer can take an object, place or people out of history and create a novel as mysterious and spiritual as this one. I highly recommend this book. I think it will inspire as well as entertain

Great Story and Intriguing Themes

This is an excellent story woven with thought-provoking theological commentary throughout. After reading another of this authorâs books, Draegnstoen, I knew I would not be disappointed. This is a very different genre from the other book, but also looks to come from a very personal journey described by the authorâs note at the end of the book. To me, this gives the story even more depth and impact. Looking forward to future works from Jeffrey Blackmer.

Very interesting and compelling story. What was most interesting ...

Very interesting and compelling story. What was most interesting, however, were the author's insights regarding the origins of Christianity and organized religion. The first book I've finished in a while!

is a little like going on a spiritual journey

Reading The Gears of Uriel by Jeffrey Blackmer, is a little like going on a spiritual journey. We follow the unravelling of organised religion throughout history and are faced with what really matters â spirituality and the eternal strength of the human soul.

This book is exceedingly well-researched, but without bogging the reader down with tiring information. Itâs all woven into the body of the story and it works well, is written in a relaxed manner, and is not forced upon the reader.
