Mind shifting, captivating

This is a good read. Rick did a great job of making the story plausible and kept things moving throughout the story. It's certainly out of the box, using characters that people should be aware of in actual history and altering the concepts or perceptions one may have around their stories with the characters in and through this story. A pretty wild twist for the guy (Barrabas) that little is known about once he is set free in exchange for Jesus 2000 years ago. Probes into the power of the mind, between people, over people, and makes one wonder how much is possible, just undiscovered, some of which could be tormenting, some of which could used benefitially for mankind. If only we could harness the power of Jonathon, or even the Razorbaze! Nicely done. Hope the sequel doesn't take another 20 + years to finish...

AN AMAZING LOOK AT WOMEN's SUPPRESSED POTENTIAL.

I couldn't put this book down. As a life-long New York Democrat, I thought I was leading-edge sensitive to women's issues. But couched in one of the most exciting pieces of technology fiction I've ever read is a disturbing spiritual gem: Women could well be the intended solution to all the world's problems."

A Seriously Good Read

A good friend gave me a copy of the book. I was skeptical but the first page hooked me. Rick is the master of the high-tech action novel like King is the master of the thriller.

A hard-to-put-down thriller.

I never have time to read, given the pull of family and work responsibilities. But the storyline intrigued me, so I picked it up and started reading. It's a cross between Robert Ludlam and Stephen King -- and the fun part is that I fought off sleep every night so I could keep reading. I haven't had that much fun in a long while. When the story was done, I could say "Whew!" because now I could get back to regular sleeping hours. A great story, thought provoking and well-written.
