Excellent

This is probably my all-time favorite Christian novel. Huggins, who is now retired from law enforcement, is also an award-winning journalist. This is the story of a man who sought redemption and tried to leave his old life behind. This book is action-packed, gripping and spellbinding. It will pierce you to your very soul. Gage, our hero, is an exile in his own land, abandoned on a military mission by his own country. He is rescued by a priest and an archeologist, who smuggle him back into the states and who helps him see a different way of life. Then a secret society kills the priest and Gage must take up the guns that he had forsworn, to protect those most dear and near to him. Can Gage come out of retirement and take on some of the best assassins in the world? Can he save his friends? Can he stop a great evil from taking place? You will have to read The Reckoning to find out.

Great Book

Huggins does a masterful job of combining Christian truth with modern warfare. The hero realizes that in order to defeat evil, sometimes you must take up a "sword" and fight. I would highly recommend it.

6 stars

If there was a way I could rate this book higher than 5, I definately would. If you are a fan of incrediblely well written action, Christian themes, powerful topics, well-researched fighting techniques, and an all around good story... this is for you. Even if you dont' like action, you should get this. One of the many reasons this book is so incredibly awesome is because on one character. Gage. He is the best of the best. The author researched every type of fighting to make this character. All the way from more-than-advanced knife techniques, to war tactics. To state it simply: Get this book.

An excellent book! I couldn't put it down!

Although James Huggins's occaisionally chopped writing style was a little difficult to get used to, once I began reading this book I couldn't put it down. As well as being full of action, it is filled with the engaging conflict of one man attempting to separate himself from the darkness of his past and shape his life for the future. Gage's struggle to find his own identity and inner strength to continue the battle with evil is riveting! Mr. Huggins has done an excellent job of integrating action and emotional conflict, in a terrifyingly realistic plot.
