LOST GOD: The Last Judgment
THEY COME FROM THE DEPTH OF TIME TO PUT AN END TO EVERYTHING An apparently alien object appears outside the windows of the International Space Station (ISS). Scientists and religious leaders around the globe are feverishly searching for an explanation, but only one of them has a clue as to the true background. NASA and SpaceX join forces to launch a daring space mission to secure the mysterious object. But as soon as the spaceship is launched, events come thick and fast. And while a race against time begins in outer space, the world threatens to plunge into chaos. With the increasingly disturbing realization that these events are not happening by chance, but are deeply rooted in human history, ancient prophecies and legends of the gods begin to come true. And what was unthinkable for thousands of years is becoming more and more of a horrifying reality every day.

With LOST GOD - DAS JÜNGSTE GERICHT, Gregor Spörri has succeeded in creating a science fiction thriller that not only impresses with its fresh take on an alien invasion, but above all with its catchy, visual language, which often creates a blockbuster in the mind. This page-turner is cinema in book form, which not only avoids some of the usual cliché turning points in the dramaturgy, but also offers much better alternatives than its genre colleagues from literature and cinema. Why this story has not yet been made into a movie is a mystery to us. The fact that Spörri leads the reader with all his might towards an ending that is as hard as it is gripping in its consequences makes LOST GOD an extremely exciting reading experience.

The cover of Gregor Spörri's 300-page book only gives the interested reader a hint of the secrets revealed in this fictional apocalypse. Straight to the point - it is not for the faint-hearted or romanticized souls who want to follow the old world view of religion and history. Here, concentrated knowledge, away from the mainstream media, is combined with a fictitious future story to create a gloomy, end-of-the-world read. It's a great read and puts Emmerich's "Independence Day" in the shade as gentle bedtime reading.
Leif Inselmann EN: Author
With "Lost God", Gregor Spörri has succeeded in creating a remarkably exciting and unconventional sci-fi thriller. The constantly changing perspectives create a fast-paced narrative. Nevertheless, there is still room for a lot of background information. The author combines almost trashy science fiction with well thought-out technical considerations, adaptations of borderline scientific theories, his own experiences and sometimes satirical criticism of our current social conditions. Somehow it all adds up to a rounded whole, which carries the reader along to the dramatic end. Link to the unabridged review

The Last Judgment. Fear the wrath of the gods. All hell breaks loose on Earth and in space. "LOST GOD" is a breathtaking end-time story and at the same time a treat for space-loving readers. With a pace that barely leaves time to take a deep breath, the plot ends up blowing up any scale of disaster in the best blockbuster style. The author masterfully interweaves the brute biblical apocalypse with profound science fiction. The story is peppered with intelligent plot lines, multi-layered characters and sharp-witted dialog. This head-turning story really belongs on the big screen and not wedged between two book covers.

What if the celestial beings that were worshipped and feared as gods all over the world thousands of years ago were to visit the earth again, as the proponents of the paleo-SETI thesis imagine? How would humanity behave? Would there be another shock to the gods? How would the US President or the Pope, for example, react? An exciting question. What makes this truly apocalyptic science fiction thriller so appealing to me: LOST GOD is a real page-turner that I could hardly put down, I was so captivated by the story, which is written in the style of a reportage.

A mystery thriller that prophesies the end of the world in the near future. "Lost God" is about the return of the biblical gods from the perspective of pre-astronautics. But the book offers even more: a tangible space adventure, a dark vision of Islamist terror and much more. I really enjoyed reading it because I love stories full of surprises and connections. The beginning of the book is also exciting, where the author tells of his incredible discovery in Egypt and then cleverly links this real part with the fictional part of the story, which has burrowed deep into my consciousness like an apocalyptic purgatory.

As a supporter and advocate of extraterrestrial intervention on earth, I have been dealing with this topic for a long time thanks to Erich von Däniken and Mysteries. I couldn't put this mystery SF thriller down. Tension was cleverly built up throughout with reliable facts, thorough research and a lot of basic knowledge. Gregor Spörri's logical conclusions - the result of factual communication and literary freedom, of realities on earth and fiction - inevitably lead to this result. I never dared to think that far! A great book that is a real challenge to further study this topic!

Updated to reflect current events, the new 'LOST GOD' once again offers plenty of thrills and shines with critical philosophical statements and well-researched, albeit extremely daring theses on the existence of a higher being called Ha-Shem Ha-Mephorasch and his creation: man. In his latest work, the author manages to increase the dramaturgy once again and make the ending so exciting that you automatically wish for a sequel.

Gregor Spörri's end-time opus 'LOST GOD - The Last Judgement' reads almost like a script for a terrifying, apocalyptic blockbuster. The story is extremely interesting, rich in detail, quite sophisticated for this genre and, above all, exciting right to the end. The characters touch you and act authentically. Uncomfortable truths are ruthlessly exposed. The various storylines create great images in your head as you read. Fantastic material that is ideal for making into a movie.
Julian von Heyl DE: Editor of Lost God
A really exciting read - Lost God impressed me. Biblical stories and myths are playfully combined to create an imaginative chronicle of the end of the world. On the factual side, you do have to swallow a few things; on the other hand, I was often amused at how precisely the questions I asked myself while reading were answered a little later. The ending is particularly captivating, with an open hint that lends a conciliatory note to the overall gloomy work.

In 1988, Gregor Spörri came across a mysterious relic in Egypt. Since then, he has repeatedly returned to the land of the pharaohs for research. As a private researcher, he is ridiculed in academic circles, so he decides to turn his findings into a novel. Spörri skillfully blends his ideas and fantasies with established knowledge and current affairs. 'LOST GOD' is a suspenseful mystery thriller made for the big screen. I am delighted to be writing the script for the novel together with the author.
Luc Bürgin CH: Editor of "Mysteries-Magazin"
What is an Arabian crescent doing on an extraterrestrial object? And what is a paleo-SETI researcher doing in the White House? Optimists had better keep their hands off this book, because mystery researcher and author Gregor Spörri mercilessly holds up a mirror to the supposed crown of creation and its representatives from research and science. "LOST GOD - The Last Judgement" is a futuristic and realistic apocalyptic science fiction thriller that robs the stars of their romantic glow.

The divine apocalypse remains at the center of the new edition. Spörri has taken the reviews of the first edition from 2012 seriously and has given the current 2021 edition promising updates in terms of content and language. Anyone who likes well-researched, in-depth stories mixed with exciting action should definitely read LOST GOD. It would also be fantastic material for the movies.

A Swiss writer who can certainly hold his own with international authors. When I read 'LOST GOD', the movie played in my head. Gregor Spörri knows how to tell his carefully researched story in a very strong visual language. The topics are highly topical and reflect today's zeitgeist.

Is the Bible right in its assertion that the sons of heaven (angels) once became involved with human daughters? Will the gods return one day? Based on his experiences in Egypt, author Gregor Spörri has intensively studied the paleo-SETI thesis. The result is a gripping mystery SF thriller that takes up the thesis and spins it further. You devour this 'LOST GOD' from the first to the last page.

The moment he reveals the secret of Bir Hooker's relic, some people will wonder whether his previous world view is still valid.
