Rating: - Great debut

Rating: - Enjoy !

If you are a thriller ( with a theological stance ) buff, just enjoy this for what it is, a fine good read !

I thought pseudonyms ... Read More

This book was not bad at all. Shortish chapters for those of us with short attention spans, believeable characters and, although the plot turns out to be a bit far fetched, a good yarn.

I get bored with novels quite easily but this one went right to the end, ... Read More
