I got this book when it was first out. I have now found that it will transcend time and be a classic. It is so real that it will keep you riveted until the very end. I read this book over at least once a year, you will be hooked too.

I read this book about 3 years ago, and I am myself an aspiring writer/novelist, and the way that Ray Garton writes, his technique, his use of words, the vivid imagery, it is exactly the kind of writer that I want to become. I hope one day that I will be able to meet Mr Garton and have him sign a copy of "Dark Channel".

This review is from: Dark Channel (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed Ray Garton's books in the past, but I fell out of favor with this one. Why? you ask. Well, to start, it seems like a trendy move. Frank E. Peretti comes to mind. There exists many novels of Xian suspense/thrillers on the market, and to be frank, this book seems to fall in line with the rest of them. Ray Garton is a good writer, no doubt about it . . . but Dark Channel is too lengthy and riddled with misconceptions on the New Age movement. I'm not a fan of New Age Fluff myself, but I can't imagine that Bael or the Dark One himself is behind it all. True, some the characters are well-written, but with names like "Jordan Cross" I felt I was reading a publication by Zondervan. Where's the fire? The macabre satire? The irreligious sentiment? The depth and religious turmoil? Not much can be found here. The whole effort seems to be half-hearted and exhausting.
