Excellent

I read hundreds of books each year and have found this to be right up there with the best. many twists and turns with an excellent theme! Thank you! I look forward to Legions Against the Temple.

The Thinking Man's Thriller

Vernon Buford is a welcomed new talent to my bookshelf. His book Shadows of Legion is fantastic. I read a lot, and it's been quite some time since I've read a book with such passion and drive as this one. Buford has the uncanny ability to rivet you to your seat as the pages fly by. Great action, visual descriptions and plot. Also, the characters are fleshed out, fully dimensional beings. This book can best be described as a spiritual thriller as four, unrelated characters come together to solve a dark mystery: an evil demonic force that threatens us all. The one flaw I see is that he needs a better editor. There were a few minor typos, but they hardly distract you from such a fine story and fast-paced plot. I would like like to see Buford find a larger publisher or purhaps turn SOL into a film. If this is a series, I can't wait to see the next book. I'm so looking foward to more work from such a terrific new talent.

A Visual Powerhouse

The verdict: Shadows of Legion is an amazing read for a first time novelist. This is probably the fastest moving and most visually stimulating book I have ever read. Vernon spends a great deal of time developing each character, but what could be a long process is compensated by tremendous detail. The reader really feels like she knows the characters, how they feel and how they will react to some pretty interesting situations. Action packed is a mere cliché in describing how the many-layered story unfolds after Vernon establishes that there is a dark, insidious force manipulating each and every event. Did I say "Spiritual Warfare?" Frank Peretti has a grasp on Spiritual Warfare, but I think Vernon's vision is much more captivating to people living every day life.

Fantastic new series!

This is the most pleasant surprise I've had lately- a fanastic new author and a series that out-rivals "Left Behind". Absolutely breath-taking action, suspense, plot-line, and Christian theme. You will never believe this is a first novel- the writing is polished and mesmerizing. Vernon Buford is destined to be a nationally-known star author in the blink of an eye. Do yourself a huge favor and read the first of this trilogy- you'll be thrilled. 5 Stars without doubt!!

Good debut. Some intense moments!

After a somewhat melancholy beginning, Vernon Buford is a welcome addition to my book shelf. Shadows of Legion is the first of a trilogy. Join Scott Macklin, Father Los Cruzado, Douglas Prichard and Rachel Walters as they begin the quest to take on the forces of darkness. But unlike Frank Perett or Parker Hudson, Vernon Buford tackles a subject in spiritual warfare that I've never seen, Legion. They are many, yet they are one. This reveals some heart pounding suspense that will hit many between the eyes. Crisp words combine with fresh hope, and a Savior who we can trust and have faith in when things sometimes go so wrong! But then again, Jesus is there in the good times and the bad, amen? Vernon Buford. Who can forget a name like that? It is a name, that I hope won't go away quietly. I can't wait to read more by this man!
