Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Mojave Rock by J.W. Gilbert

Book: Mojave Rock

Author: JW Gilbert

Genre: Christian Fiction – Action/Adventure

Release Date: March, 2024

Arcon forsook his new life of adventure in the outside world to fulfill his destiny with ArcPoint. But the return to his forest home is short-lived—he and Ranger Dan have been called to Jerusalem to meet Central Authority and discover the fate of ArcPoint. A new adventure begins, starting with a round-the-world trip by tube train—something Arcon never thought possible. With its expanded cast of extraordinary characters and a fresh romance, Mojave Rock is the conclusion to the ArcPoint trilogy about reconciliation and truth replacing fear and suspicion.

Christian Fiction is a favorite genre of mine. I also like reading books from authors that are new to me. Mojave Rock by JW Gilbert fits both of these situations. It is Book 3 in the ArcPoint Series. I have not read the first 2 in this series, but I was not completely lost while reading Book 3. 

I will admit the book started out a little slow and I almost didn't continue reading. I think it is because I did not read the first 2 books in the series. I am glad I did continue reading as once I got to Chapter 3, I started really getting into the story. Arcon and Dan are the main characters in this book and they are very intriguing characters. Their adventures throughout the book kept me captivated, especially when they are called to Jerusalem. Arcon has a romantic interest in Elaine and I truly enjoyed their story and growing relationship. Dan and Arcon's adventures and friendship is also a wonderful part of this story. The book is one of hope, faith, and reconciliation.  I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Fiction. It does have a STRONG fiction aspect. Good Book!

The ArcPoint trilogy finally reaches its conclusion with Mojave Rock. I ramp up the humor and romance a little, just to make it interesting. A few of the minor characters play a larger role. We get to see how Arcon travels around the world without floating on water or flying through the air. And we get a glimpse of what this world is like with the Prince of Peace ruling the planet.

I also move more toward science fiction with Mojave Rock. I wanted to show how mankind cleaned up our planet, after the tribulation era gave us wars, earthquakes, famines, and other forms of death and destruction. When lawlessness made all of us want to hide as ArcPoint did. As technology helped us, there were always people who used it to harm us.

It was fun to contemplate how accident-free high-speed travel could be accomplished. How could we use it to feed the world? In fact, what would world travel be like without war zones, national borders, corrupt government officials, currency exchange, pickpockets, and terrorists? Can you imagine retail stores without shoplifters? Email without spam? Facial recognition without invasion of privacy? No frauds, scammers, or identity thieves? All of that may sound like heaven, but it’s not. That’s another time and place.

So, how will ArcPoint react to connecting with the outside world again? They were already free of the things listed above. World peace didn’t concern them, since inner peace was a common commodity. Will they leave their oasis in the former desert? Will their community be overrun with strangers? Will Arcon and Elaina marry? It’s worth reading Mojave Rock to find out.
