Great story

Really enjoyed the author and his ability to tell a tale - kept it interesting throughout and kept you guessing.

And now, "A Treasure Deep", by Alton Gansky.

Well, I picked up this with some anticipation, and in an anxious manner, both good and bad. Gansky is an incredible author, that's not to be debated. But the last book I read by him, I wasn't too impressed. His 3rd J.D. Stanton novel, "Out of Time" wasn't my favorite. But I was really hoping that this would redeem the Senior Pastor and author, and indeed he showed us once again what makes him great. This is the beginning of Perry Sachs, an engineer, and his adventures. Well, if you are looking for a page turner, this is worth it! Just imagine a secret! Yeah, one of those, "You aren't qualified to know" type deals, ok? So suppose this effort attracts the Mayor's attention. Could be trouble, right? It might even attract some negative attention. It could get action packed, and it may get bloody at times. Oh yes, this is a treasure, one that you'll share with friends and family, because you don't just keep something this good to yourself! In saying that, there are some good messages in this. One is to those who have ever blamed God for something. It gives you a certain amount of humility to realize that you shouldn't blame Him, although a lot of us do, myself included. There is nothing He can't handle, and nothing He can't forgive. Anne Fitzgerald found that out, and she also found that God's grace is so sweet. This is just the first of a 3 book series, and I'm hoping that the other 2 pack a punch like this one did!

Think you've got it figured out? You don't!

This is the type of novel that keeps me coming back to Alton Gansky's work. When you think you finally see where this is going (ala Kevin Bowen's "Wil's Bones" or Paul Maier's "Skeleton in God's Closet"), you're wrong! The storyline keeps a fairly consistent pace throughout. You'll come up with a dozen theories as to what the "Treasure" in the title is, but by the end you'll realize you weren't even close. I highly recommend this novel as an example of what Mr. Gansky can do when he's "on". If this is your first experience with his work, then follow it up with "The Prodigy" or "Vanished".

A Treasure Deep by Alton L. Gansky

I found A Treasure Deep, by Alton L. Gansky, to be a real page-turner. The concept was fresh, the story captivating, and it was truly hard to put down. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced novel.

A Tresure Worth Reading

Jack Cavanaugh called this latest release by Gansky, "a whitewater ride of surprise and suspense...". I would have to agree and add, his ride must have started after flood season. This 352-page turner kept me up a good part of a night I really needed to be sleeping. His emotional roller coaster had you questioning whether Sach's discovery would change meaning of life; Christ's deity or even the resurrection. His words grip you and hold on tightly, taking you though a young autistic boy's visions; a woman's struggle against God's provision; a man's search for a cure for a debilitating disease; murder; intrigue and more than your share of heart stopping suspense. What is the ultimate purpose of "the treasure deep"? How will it affect the world as they know it? You will chase each word as it unfolds and discover a wondrous treasure yourself just in reading.
