5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific read!!!, March 8, 2007

This, the second book in the Trinian Trilogy, is something spectacular.

The first half of the book keeps you guessing the entire time, with a feeling similar to a Tarantino or Guy Ritchie film. The plot jumps completely away from one character outline to the next and back again. It's wonderful.

Then, just as you begin to fully grasp the concept of the background story, the plot takes off and leaves you fighting to hold on! This is truly a compelling piece of work. Your emotions will run the gamut. You'll cry for a mother that longs for her son, and within a couple of pages laugh out loud at an awkward moment between a young man and young woman enjoying the comfort of each other's company during a tumultuous time.

What's also important to note, as other reviewers have, is the heavy presence of The LORD's Word. Mr. Rotering is brave to step out of the shadows and 'Stand' up for what he believes in. The message here is clear and powerful. Bravo sir, for you will be rewarded before Your Father in Heaven for your witness.

Get yourself a copy of this first work from Terrence L. Rotering - you won't be disappointed! I also definitely look forward to the first and third installments in the Trinian saga.

I was truly unsure of how I would like this book when I first started reading it. The idea of a fictional adventure that was founded on scripture sounded like it had a chance to be a dull and boring book. I was however, pleasantly surprised. The book not only isn't boring at all, but for any Christian will be very uplifting and meaningful. It is an excellent departure from secular fiction that seems to always perpetuate non-Christian ideals. I would highly recommend this book to everyone!

I really liked this book! The story was written originally for the author's two sons, and it tied together real life people and friends in this family's lives with fictional characters. Mr. Rotering has masterfully woven together an intriguing story using a C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Peretti style. I loved the story with its obvious application to our culture and highly recommend this book. Looking forward to the other two parts of the trilogy!
