I loved Apocalypse South! It kept me turning the pages until I was done (I finished it in 3 nights.) It is informative and entertaining, and has a great message!

The writer takes the many details of end-times biblical prophecy and compresses them into a compelling individual journey. The story raises intriguing ideas and unique notions that offer much food for thought. On the other hand, the writing style is heavily descriptive and narrative. Occasionally, the dialogue improves the plodding pace, but sometimes even it becomes mere speach-making--a device to communicate the author's viewpoint on a particular issue. At one point the writer describes a character as being a "road scholar." My sense is the error was no typo. The bottom-line is that this tome offers a potentially imaginative plot--but a sophomoric writing style (with apologies to gifted tenth-graders everywhere).

This novel was nominated for the prestigious Townsend Prize Fiction Award in Atlanta, Ga 2002. This is great for a first time author who was against veterans like Terry Kay. Give this book a try.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Apocalypse South. It is fast paced and very interesting. I read it in three days! It has a great message of hope and I loved the ending. I highly recommend this book as a must read.

Apocalypse South is excellent thriller. This book keeps you turning the pages-You can't put it down. It has thought provoking parts to it about what happen during the days of the Great Tribulation. Keep you on edge of your seat.
