Transgenetics: Are You Ready For This?, April 15, 2006
This review is from: The Ahriman Gate: Some Gates Should Not Be Opened (Paperback)
After authoring two memorable non-fiction books on spiritual warfare, Tom Horn unites with his wife Nita, exploding on the fictional scene with the haunting and powerful The Ahriman Gate.
I commend Tom for what he was trying to accomplish with Ahriman: that is, through the use of a fictional story, to introduce the reader to the frightening recent developments within the world of transgenetics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology through a Christian worldview. This worldview holds that the inspired Word of God should be used as a framework and foundation to understanding the past as well as what is to come.
There is no more desirable result than to have the reader understand the sordid world of transgenetics through the lens of God's Word. Throughout the dialogue in the story, many important topics are breached which will normally not be touched in the pulpit, such as:
* Nephilim - What lessons can be learned about the offspring of the fallen angels and human women?
* Transmogrification - The ability of angels to manipulate matter and energy, and to shapeshift into human form.
* Aliens - Is there life on other planets, or are these "visitors" simply the Biblical fallen angels and evil spirits masquerading as "grays?"
* Alien abductions - Do victims of abductions actually physically experience what they describe in abduction accounts, or are they the unwitting pawns of evil spirits who, through remote viewing, implant thoughts, images, and experiences into their minds?
* The stones of fire - What was the Lord referring to in Ezekiel chapter 28 when he said Lucifer was moving about in the "stones of fire?"
Those who have read Tom's previous books on evil spirits and spiritual warfare know that he is an expert in the field. He deftly incorporates this knowledge throughout The Ahriman Gate to explain what the characters were experiencing and the entities with whom they were engaging.
I highly recommend all of Tom Horn's work: the non-fiction Spiritual Warfare: The Invisible Invasion and The Gods Who Walk Among Us, and now the fictional title The Ahriman Gate.

Book Review: The Ahriman Gate....Keep it closed, please...
By Bruce Collins
I have been reading one of the scariest and most exciting books I've read in a long time.
The author, Tom Horn, also founded www.raidersnewsupdate.com, which is a website that is hard to typecast except to say that it is one-third Matt Drudge, Art Bell and Billy Graham. If you have not seen it, it would be worth your while to check it out. Personally, I now make it a daily stop.
Returning to the book, 'The Ahriman Gate' is the perfect action book, harmoniously blending a tale of intrigue, violence, mayhem and purpose.
Learning about Tom Horn and studying raidersnewsupdate.com, I realize that Tom Horn is the Tom Clancy of modern day phenomena and government cover up.
He writes from experience.
Everyone should benefit from reading this book. Entertained may not be the word to describe your feelings after reading 'The Ahriman Gate' but you will find it extremely thought provoking and well worth your time.
Science fiction buffs will love the cool gadgets (which I would love to own but haven't found yet at Sharper Image). They also will like the UFO storyline that includes references to the face on Mars and those terrifying "Grays" (alien beings....or not?).
Action buffs will love the terrifying scenes that are reminiscent of many of Governor Arnold's movies. Actually, this is Independence Day meets Predator meets James Bond meets the Exorcist. Spies, grays, demons, mythological creatures, spaceships, UFOs, Men In Black, government officials- it's all here and Horn creates an ambiance that made me feel like I was actually spying on the characters. In fact, this would make a great movie.
There is a Christian theme or underpinning to the book but I think this book would appeal to everyone due to an incredible storyline. The action takes you in and it keeps you till the very end.
I would recommend reading this book while visiting Raidersnewsupdate.com. Why? For one thing, the subjects that are dealt with in this book are going on today behind closed doors and this website often usurps 'overlooked' headlines that you may not find anywhere else.
How's this for a thrilling twist? It seems that the government is paying attention to Mr. Horn. Recently, during an internet interview with Tom, 13,000 listeners were logged on from government computers. Who says this book is fiction?
Kind of makes you want to rush out and buy it?
I highly recommend that you do.
Sincerely, Bruce Collins, former book reviewer for Monster Radio and book reviewer at www.americanchronicle.com and www.worldsentinel.com

Not bad! BUT Could have been better., October 6, 2006
This review is from: The Ahriman Gate: Some Gates Should Not Be Opened (Paperback)
I'm not and avid reader. I enjoy reading but it takes me awhile to finish a book. The Ahriman Gate took me just two days to finish reading this 400 page. A new personal best! This book just seemed to dig it's claws into me and not let go. That having been said, parts of the plot of the book left me scratching my head wondering "where are the authors going with all this".
Good points:
Very interesting concept, entertaining and generally well written. The (human) characters are well developed and believable.
Bad Points:
The author obviously wanted to combine all the popular myths of our time (UFO's, alien visitors, Bigfoot, MIB, secret societies, bible prophecy, etc) into one story. But all these elements, instead of giving the story depth, make the story a little "poogy" and lugubrious in places... Too many threads to weave into a proper story "cloth". I think that if the authors had focused more on character development, had a little more action and moved the plot along a little faster this would have been a great book.
Conclusion:
If your not religious or don't believe in God or Jesus then this book is most certainly not for you. When ever a character is in serious trouble they call out for divine help. There are at least 25+ direct bible passages quoted by characters. If you think that this would make you feel irritated/uncomfortable then give this book a pass. However, if you'd like to see the good guy empowered by a deep faith in the divine put boot to evil butt, then this book is for you.
P.S. You can also get the Ebook in a PDF format for $8.00 from his web sight. Good deal if you ask me.
