Ooo a fantasy thriller sounds exciting. I haven't read one in quite some time. It had me sold by the name "Skilts". Seriously, what a great name.

A fantasy novel thriller for Christians is certainly new to me. I am curious to see how religious elements are woven into the story. Congrats on BOTD.

I like the sound of this book, especially because of its biblical undertone. It does help to see Bible events in form of fiction; it gives the Bible stories and prophecies a more realistic feel.
Amazing review.

This is very interesting, since why did he want to go to the other side in the first place? As interesting it may seem, I am not fondest of fantasy as of the moment, but thank you for your review.

This would be an amazing read for the targeted audience. The author has given attention to detail. However this is not my cup of tea. Congrats on BOTD!!

This story is a Sci-Fi thriller for Christian readers that pits good vs. evil. The official review was very good but I found it hard to remember the character names. The good vs. evil plot is very good and while it takes place in another world it sounds like Armageddon on Earth. I will enjoy reading this book but with the unusual names it will probably take me longer to read it than most books.

While fantasy thrillers are my cup of tea, I'm not sure if I will enjoy one with a religious overtone, especially when I'm not a Christian and won't be able to understand the biblical references.

I guess this is a quest that will sound familiar to many readers. The story sounds captivating, and my hope is that Eagan and his team are properly equipped. Thanks for the review.

As an agnostic, I am often torn when it comes to fiction with overly religious tones. Some I don’t mind as much, like The Chronicles is Narnia, but others are too much. This one at least sounds interesting in how it incorporates its religious references, so I might still give it a try. Thank you for the helpful review.

I've never read a Christian fantasy thriller novel, I hope this will be a good start. The author uses descriptive language, and I believe that I'll like it.
