Action packed! A great christian novel!

When I first read this book, I knew it was going to be good. I had no idea it was going to be one of the best novels I've ever read. Trust me, I have met Jefferson Scott, and not only is he a great auther, but he's a great christian guy.

Excellent, intriguing book that you can not put down!!

I happen to come across the first book by accident and found that not only did I complete it in one night but then immediately had to have the other two books!! Great, great mystery book that inspires you to seek the relationship one has with the Lord! I am looking forward to the next book with anticipation and facination! The interweaving of how the Lord works with his grace and protection in difficult situations is truely seen in all three fiction books. It is a book that you will not be able to put down! I hope to see the next book soon!!

Jefferson Scott just keeps on improving!

This book is just amazing. I still get chills when I read it after so many times. He really portrays humans well, and all his characters are believable. I let my friends borrow this book, and even though they hate science fiction and anything closely related, they all love it too! I sure hope he keeps on writing.

I though it was great! I'm hooked on this series!

This series is perfect for the Christian in cyber-space. It deals with real life Christian issues and is packed with all the science-fiction fantasy stuff I'm am interesting in. It's just AWESOME!

A Christian stands between terrorists and biological warfare

The third novel by Jefferson Scott is a winner. Ethan Hamilton and FBI Agent Mike Gillette, along with an elite group of anti-cyberterrorist warriors from every security department of the government match wits with an unholy alliance of bioengineers, mideast terrorists, and the mysterious White Corporation. The story heats up when the hero, Ethan Hamilton, finds himself trapped on a remote Pacific island when terrorists take over. Then, armed only with his computer savvy and faith in God's guidance and shelter, he must do everything in his power to keep biological weapons from ever leaving the island. This book is gripping from the opening offensive against an organization bombing nursing homes to the final headlong rush through the eye of a hurricane and the battle against heavily armed fanatics. Amid all of the excitement runs the current of the power of trust in God and the internal battles that cause questions in both the newly saved and the lifelong faithful. ! {On a side note: It's refreshing to read a book where the author is able to keep obscenity and extreme violence implied rather than printed and still make you aware of its ugliness. The vilest characters were rendered believable without the writing having to sink into the gutter.} This is Jefferson Scott's best work to date and makes one eager for his next. He has created wonderfully developed characters; some of whom you would love to have as friends and others that you pray to God you will never meet. Worth the time if you want to read it as a cyberthriller, an action thriller, a wholesome adventure or all three. For the last third of the book, I couldn't put it down.
