Chronicle To Books The Reckoning
3.5 starsI’m confused about something
The book I read was an ebook republishing. But there are many many errors that should have been edited in 2000. It got to the point that I was questioning myself.
But the action was great even if all of the plot twists weren’t tied in a pretty bow by the end. I enjoy my espionage a bit fantastic. And this fit the bill weaving the almighty Church with the FBI and special forces to lay the smack down. I've seen some reviews complaining of the violence, but I did not find it excessive at all. It seemed right on target. In fact it could have been much more graphic in the knife fight scenes. The author did a great job describing action. I had no problems picturing what was happening. And the protagonists were very likable. There was some serious soul searching making our soldier quite appealing as a human being trying to make things right.
Huggins has a strong imagination with no issues expressing his story. I really enjoyed the book.

This is a difficult book to read. There is excessive violence, but the story is about a man who was trained as a killer but became a Christian when he was left for dead and a monk found him and made him well. He has to put his old training to use to stop a plot meant to take down Christianity (sounds unrealistic, but works in the book). The first time I read it I was repulsed by the violence, but the second time I saw past the violence to the redemption storyline.I read this book years ago and I loved it. Keep in mind this book was published 10 years or more BEFORE the Da Vinci Code by Brown. Very much action filled, but filled with well written characters. Ex-special forces intermingled with forces of good and bad. Ted Dekker wrote something similiar in . I just found out last night that Huggins is finally releasing his books in e-format. Great! I own a hard to find (probably out of print) hardback of this thriller, but yet I plan to buy the Kindle
Davinci Code before there was Davinci Code. Takes a while to get into it, way too many adjectives.
I thought I'd like this book.I didn't.I lost the plot early on and never really found it again.Narration was good most of the time.The sound was actually garbled for 2-3 minutes in one pat of my listening early on.I don't think it was meant to be that way. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.
Fantastic Characters Enjoyed exploring the theological debates that run through this fast paced story. Questions about morality and mans world view that man is always trying to make himself a god when the reality shows there is only one God. Gage is truly a mans man that discovers what it means to have a true reckoning
Another book where the framing story lacks appeal for me, but the research is amazing. This book was responsible for beginning my fascination with Special Ops. The story is very similar to "The DaVinci Code," except Huggins did it years earlier and with out the creepy women-are-only-good-for-one-thing sex club.
An action packed thriller that fans of the DaVinci Code will enjoy. There is more violence than I would have liked to read, but the story was so interesting that I was able to look past it.
