My review:???
Call Me Joe by Martin Van Es and Andrew Crofts is set in the future a little, where environmentally things are worse, which has resulted in things like butterflies nearly dying out. One day, the sun goes out, and then a man appears, who claims to be Jesus returned. He has ideas about how humanity needs to change their ways, and a lot of people listening to him.
There’s political skewering, where you can spot various famous politicians (*cough* Trump, Putin and Jacinda Ahern *cough*), and a lot of what Joe says is about how humanity can and should improve.
I was reading this book, and had to pause to check if I had stumbled into Christianity section as this is quite a religious story, obviously, considering we have Jesus returned.
I wasn’t a huge fan. I found it to be preaching to me, which in places is a good point, but I didn’t find the story to have many twists to it, which I feel it needed.
Call Me Joe was published on 1st March, and is available on Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
I’m afraid I couldn’t find anywhere for you to follow Martin Van Es.
You can follow Andrew Crofts on his website and Twitter.
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and Red Door Press.
