Summary: It's good to see an African American as the main character.
Comment: This is an excellent book. It was an unexpected treat to see a Christian African American male as the main character in a Christian story. It was a long read however , each character was well developed and the story line was strong. The relationships between the characters reflected the relationships in the black community. I truly enjoyed the story within the story, C. S. Lewis' wonderful Narnia books. This made me want to read them again. I passed the book along to several friends, who also enjoyed it. If you like a good story line, with plenty of surprises, this book is for you!

Summary: How do you top this one?
Comment: As an awe-struck reader of Deadline, I felt I had to read Dominion, even though I knew that sequels are usually not near as good as the original. This book develops Clarence, who was an obscure character from the first novel, into someone everyone can know and love. While much ties in to the first book, we are spared syrupy coincidences so common to much "christian" fiction.
This book is spell-binding, exciting, and compelling. As one who reads much fiction from the "other side" as well, this stacks up with Grisham's best, and proves that you can have a good novel with professional technique, believable characters, and frank portrayals, without even using one of the puerile off-color words that even Grisham considers necessary for a sell. It would stand alone as a detective novel; it would stand alone as a social commentary; it would stand alone as an allegorical fantasy. The fact that it can do all three at once makes it a book that would be unique, had the first one not done so also.
The murder mystery was actually more intricate, more interesting than the first one. The glimpses of heaven bogged me down just slightly, though Alcorn has made me think like I never thought before. I still think I can wait at least a thousand years before I sit under a verbose C.S. Lewis explaining things to me.
For those who thought the first book was too "right wing," I challenge anyone to say that about this one. Alcorn camps in the liberals' back yard and shows them some truth they should have thought about before. This was the best book on race relations that any Christian has ever written, and I marvel that he could create such a believable Black character. Clarence's dad is a treasure, too, and I found that I wish I could have spent a morning fishing with him like Manny got to do.

Summary: Not As Good As Deadline, But Very Good!
Comment: Randy Alcorn writes as well as any author in the world. He transports you into his story so well, his novels are like the "transporters" on the show Star Trek, that beamed you up or down into another location. I am amazed at how believable the character of Clarence Abernathy was; an incredible feat by a man that looks as white as Al Gore. Sorry Randy, couldn't resist that little dig.
Seriously folks - this novel is very good. Very good indeed!
Peace-out!
Nero's Guard is watching! Always remember that.
