Another great book!

From the very first page, the action begins and doesn't stop. This time there is an additional element of danger--hunting a child serial killer who is psychic with the ability to shut O'Donnell out and spy on him. This increases the danger for the victims as well as O'Donnell's family. The paranormal activity adds a bit of fantasy, but the military angle makes everything so believable you are holding on for dear life. Looking forward to the third installment with some anxiety--if it is even more thrilling, can I handle it?

Resurrection!!

Child Finder Resurrection is the second in the Child Finder trilogy and delivered as promised. This book opened up with the familiar cast of characters and began immediately to draw me into the story. The additions to the story seemed to press the envelope and kept me in its grip through the end. Anyone looking for a good story involving the seemingly impossible and that which the human race still studies is in for a real treat and plenty of surprises. I can't wait to read the final book in this trilogy! This time I'll start it on Saturday morning when nothing is planned!

Another fantastic thriller!

Child Finder Resurrection is Colonel Michael Angley's (USAF retired) sequel to his book Child Finder. We meet the main character, Air Force Special Agent Patrick O'Donnell a year and a half after he left the Top Secret child rescue program when events went horribly awry and his family was endangered. Mike Angley brings much experience in criminal investigation and counterintelligence to his writing, which makes the storyline so real, but also so fascinating. Patrick O'Donnell is a psychic and in Child Finder Resurrection, he is called back into the Top Secret community to help the government track down a very sick and twisted child killer. Patrick's son, Sean, who also has psychic abilities that come into play in a big way, proves to be a source of help to his father. It is interesting how the author lets the reader see things that the characters don't see, which makes the reader want to shout "Watch out/Beware!" a number of times during this thriller. The real twist in this story, I believe, is the fact that this murderer is a psychotic genius. The mind games that go on are ones that you don't want to read if you are alone late at night! This book can and will send chills down your spine. Colonel Angley is proving himself to be a fantastic writer of mystery thrillers. He promises that the last book in the series, Child Finder: Revelation will be "nonstop action and peril." Readers will want to read all of the books in this series if they find enjoyment in great thrillers.

O'Donnell's back - engaged in a psychic battle with his evil counterpart! Terrific read!

Child Finder: Resurrection, award-winning author Mike Angley's second novel, is rich with sensory images and Catholic philosophy. Mixing those two very literary techniques with a bang-bang shoot-em-up tale might seem risky to some--and it is. However, Angley has created a super-hero who transcends comic-bookery while maintaining the genre's idealistic view of good overcoming evil. He created this approach in his first book, Child Finder, but the reader will find a maturation of style and new complexity in plotting in Resurrection. In this story, not only does Major Pat O'Donnell, the psychic protagonist, talk to God and the Saints and Angels, but God and the Saints and Angels communicate back to him. It's a nice touch. It is a year and a half since the tragedy that sent Pat's secret government unit into early retirement. It's time to resurrect the department with new rules and new goals. Shortly after his return to the task of finding lost children, O'Donnell battles his evil doppelganger--a nameless psychopath who's psychic talents rivals his own. It's a private war between two mental giants that leaves a trail of collaterally damaged victims including O'Donnell's friend and colleague Woody Davis. As the story evolves, Angley allows his cast to grow. Pat's young son Sean, who shares his father's gift, steps into the fray with important information at crucial moments. General Swank's cranky persona turns human when his grandson is kidnapped by the villain. Dr. Jasper Jacobsen is a young psychologist fresh from Berkley. His idealism, while different, matches Pat's in intensity. In Jake, Angley creates a character that Pat dislikes but the reader loves. Finally, Pat himself evolves as he recognizes the value of alternative paths. There's a hint of Hitchcockian suspense - the reader knows more than the characters. The bad guy is really bad. What Pat can sense and what he can't is a mystery, leaving the audience to scream out warnings about what's behind that closed bathroom door. The mood is ominous and the threat isn't only to Pat himself, but to his family and friends. If it's so easy for Pat and the killer to see into the minds of others, shouldn't we all be erecting brick walls around our own thoughts? Racing around corners and falling through space on the other side of a rickety climb, the novel is a tooth-grinding rollercoaster ride. Like Child Finder, Resurrection is a general audience thriller which will also appeal to religious audiences and young adults. Fun and thought-provoking, the book can be read as a spiritual allegory or as a fast-paced action piece. Keep your bible and your valium nearby!

Child Finder Resurrection

Mike Angley has a knack for getting us inside the head of his latest novel's protagonist. In his second book of the Child Finder series, Resurrection, he once again inserts the reader front and center, smack in the middle of the action. His ability to capture the plight of helpless children, who need rescue from cretins intent on harming them, is uncanny. You won't want to start reading this one at night--you'll find yourself unable to put it down. Can't wait for the next one, Mike!
