Athol Dickson speaks

Q. Did you intend parallels involving the duo of the warring friars and the duo of the rich man and the pastor? A. Oh, absolutely. Everything that happens in LOST MISSION is connected across both space and time, just as it is in life.

Lost Mission by Athol Dickson, a Review

This complex book is intended for adults and would make a fine read for teenagers as well. There are even some discussion questions included at the end.

Full of symbolism and parallels, this work is a reach feast for a reader, hard to put down and wonderful to savor.–Phyllis Wheeler

Haunt of Jackals by Eric Wilson, a partial review

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Wilson has done a great job of constructing a tale with a Christian worldview. His complex characters ring true. The action is virtually non-stop, providing a wonderful evening for adrenaline junkies unlike myself. Plus there’s the horror dimension, with the demonic undead vampires which have this uncanny ability to temporarily abandon their host bodies and take up residence in an animal. So the main characters never know if the next blackbird is a spying enemy or not. Talk about nerve-wracking!

The Last Guardian by Shane Johnson, A Partial Review

Characters are well developed. The lyrical detail is woven in. Suspense is built with little foreshadowing comments. It’s masterfully written, I can see. I assume TG moves from little faith to much more faith as the book progresses.
