Customer Reviews

Read Dead Air!!

I read this book coming back from College Weekend at ORU in Nov. 1993. What an awesome book! Once you pick it up, you cannot put it down til you have read from cover to cover. Wes Bryant goes on an undercover mission to help rescue a little girl from the clutches of Satanic worship. It has every bit of suspense and keeps you glued to each page. I highly recommend this book!

the reality about Satanism told thru fiction

I'm not sure how much of this book was written by Bob Larson, but it just happens to be one of the best suspense novels I've ever read. In this chilling story, a radio DJ named Wes Bryant gets a frightening call from a little girl who is the victim of Satanic ritual abuse at the hands of an evil and dangerous secretive cult. It's up to Wes to find her and rescue her before it's too late. This is an extremely compelling tale without a single slow or boring chapter, and I was on the edge of my seat all throughout. The message here is one of good overcoming evil, and the fact that it's based on bits and pieces of various real incidents of cult crime makes it just that much more poignant. Great read!David Rehakauthor of "Love and Madness"

Right on.

This is an outstanding novel. But Bob Larson clearly states afterwards, that it is based on true facts. I would most definately consider this a mature book. DO NOT PICK THIS UP UNLESS YOU ARE READY FOR COLD HARD FACTS! Facts about the occult and what they will do for Satan and for power. The detail in "Dead Air" are are very graphic very gruesome, and yes, very disturbing. The sad thing is, it happens. If Bob Larson just made this up, he's a sick man, but I've heard his radio show, and when he was on TV, I watched his show, and he isn't making this stuff up. If you read this, be ready for a dose of reality. Make no mistake about it, there is an enemy out there, and his name is Satan. But there also is someone out there, who died for us, and is reaching out to us to save us from the enemy. That someone is Jesus, and he's stronger than anything that the devil can throw at you. With Jesus, that sucker can't touch you!As a dad with a 2 month old daughter, this book was indeed very sobering. Many people don't agree with everything Bob Larson says. I don't agree with all his views. But this is right on! And it shouldn't be ignored, for those who have the stomach for it. If you don't have the stomach, call on Jesus! Some will pass this off as nothing more than a sick horror novel. But it is much more than that. It is a wake up call!

I couldn't put it down!!

It was brilliantly wrote! It is an edge-of-your-seat / make-you-cry book. From the first sentence to the last, I couldn't put it down. Normally it takes me a week to read a book. It took me two days to read "Dead Air". That is how good it was! Don't forget about the sequel "Abaddon". I finished it in a day and a half. It was also a great book!

Very Gripping

This book was so intense - even to the point of reading it into the early hours of the morning. I couldn't put this book down for fear of "missing" something! A must-read for those who like suspense.
