Is it the latest in spy technology, a meteor, a UFO, or a new star? No one-not even government leaders, military commanders, astronomers, or other scientists-can provide any real answers regarding the mysterious light that has suddenly appeared in the eastern sky. When a diverse group of scholars and scientists meets in Israel to investigate the phenomenon, they are soon caught in a web of political and spiritual intrigue, terrorist bombings, and sniper attacks. As uncertainty about the phenomenon causes worldwide panic, the pressure is turned up to find a scientific answer to the mystery of the light. But the team is determined to convince the world of its findings-that the light is the return of the Star of Bethlehem, which signals Christ's Second Coming.
"The Last Star" by William Proctor is without a doubt one of the best Christian novels ever written! I found this story very intriguing; I could not put it down! It was very fast-paced, very well developed. Proctor obviously has a rare gift. William Proctor, in "The Last Star", stands as a master of idea and plot with his unbelievable talent with words and setting. This sort of writing is exactly what the Christian world needs. Good work, Mr. William Proctor! C.S. Harmon, author of "To the Ends of the Earth" coming September 2006

I could not put the book down. I have never read a book of this genre before and I found it absolutely compelling. Whether or not you agree with the intrinsic philosophy, you will find yourself learning a tremendous amount, historically and about current affairs, as well as caring very much about the futures of the various characters. A great read!

I found "The Last Star" to be one of the best books I have ever read in the realm of Christian fiction. It seemed to provide just the right amounts of suspense and credibility. The technical descriptions surrounding the unusual star phenomena were very believable without being overbearing. As a reader who normally likes authors such as Clancy and Ludlum, I was delightfully surprised to find such a suspenseful and riveting novel written in a Christian venue. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I do hope that there will be more novels by William Proctor to follow!
