The Falconi Effect: A Modern Novel about the Days of the Messiah

The Third Temple has miraculously descended from the heavens as foretold in ancient prophecies, and housed within it is brilliant state-of-the-art technology.

But a problem arises. Flax needed for the priestly garments has rotted. The flax warehouse’s humidity regulators have inexplicably malfunctioned. Flax has been located in Italy, but all of Europe is shut down.

In steps the Kohen Gadol, the High Priest. With one amazing phone call to Prof. Falconi, the Kohen Gadol convinces him to end the violent revolution, and expedite his flax order too. Shockingly, Falconi agrees, and publicly calls for a new, peaceful revolution.

Falconi’s not the only one transformed. Meet a media mogul, two journalists, and a leftist professor whose journeys we follow as the story deftly weaves between what’s happening in the lives of our characters and the life of the Third Temple.

Watch the tempo increase to a breathtaking finale.

A story of the miraculous, The Falconi Effect is a serious yet thoroughly entertaining novel. It touches on Jewish philosophy and essential concepts, without sacrificing the pace of a well told story. Readers will come away thinking differently about the Third Temple, and their own lives too.
