A Review

“I would never tell anyone they should believe anything simply because I said so,”

he said. “People should study for themselves.
Read both theologians and atheists, read the history and the science,
and then make your own logical conclusions.”

The author has composed a fast-paced novel on bioterrorism unleashed upon the leaders of the American government and medicine. Two very different people, one a nerd with three doctorates and one a trained assassin, will need to track down a small group of insurgents who have hopes of destroying humanity in support of their ecological motive.

The book occasionally had me looking for added details in Google (always a good sign) and staying up late to finish the book (another good sign). I was amazed how often the characters twitched (13x), quirked (2x), or tweaked (5x), their mouths. At one point it became a distraction - as it might if I were to interact with someone with similar habits in the real world.

Though this faith-based novel did a nice job of explaining faith to a non-believer (part of which is quoted above), and explores the characters response over time to those details, the book is in no way overly religious. I easily give the book five-stars.

Airborne - A Review

 

Airborne

by

DiAnn Mills

FBI Special Agent Heather Lawrence’s marriage is on the rocks. She is not quite ready to admit it, to herself or to those around her. Deciding to take a vacation to the Salzburg Music Festival and to visit the community in which it is held - giving her time to sort out her life - she boards the plane that will take from Houston to Frankfurt Germany. But two hours into the flight she is required to shift from vacationer to FBI agent when people throughout the flight begin to get sick - headaches, fevers, vomiting, bleeding noses, all contribute to what quickly becomes a crisis.

Working with the FBI, FAA, CDC, and her husband on the ground, Heather will need to narrow down the source of the illness that attacks more than half of those onboard the flight.

DiAnn Mills has written another great faith-based thriller that holds the reader’s attention from page 1 to page 385. As Heather involves herself in the lives of those in isolation after the plane lands in New York City, brushing shoulders with the four or five potential suspects. As a trained FBI Agent and a Behavior Analyst, she is in a unique position to watch and observes the suspects - she is also in a unique position to put life on the line.

The book will find a welcome place on the reading lists of Christians who enjoy suspense and thrillers. It also has a welcome place on the shelves of public and church libraries.

Deadly Intentions - A Review

Deadly Intentions 

by

Lisa Harris

Three suspicious deaths, one company, one project; and he did not believe in coincidences. Josh Solomon had not seen the problem, but his wife’s colleague, Caitlyn Lindsey did and together they would need to pull together the evidence to demonstrate the very real, not theoretical, issue of bioterrorism in Houston, Texas.

Lisa Harris has written a faith-based, romantic, thriller, that this reader could not put down. The mix of science, mystery, and bioterrorism, make the author’s latest book one of her best.

Whether one is looking for a great fall read, a book to add to the church or local public library, or as a gift for an avid reader, Deadly Intentions may just fill the bill
