The Nephilim Seed

Jim Bell has knocked one over the far fences with this one! The characters fairly leap off the pages and the plot is, as in all of Jim's books, relentless. His theme is torn right off today's headlines as he has explored areas new to Christian fiction. Can a movie treatment be far behind? Get the "Seed", and bring it home. But a caveat...prepare to lose sleep for a few nights; it's that good. So move over, Grisham..."The Nephilim Seed" cooks!

An absorbing, intelligent thriller

The Nephilim Seed is among the best Christian novels I have ever read, and one of the only Christian novels that I would recommend to my non-Christian friends. The book was obviously written expressly for the Christian market - the characters are quick to pray, quick to talk about what church they attend, and wear their faith on their sleeves - but despite the typical propagandizing, the book's characters are much more finely drawn and believable than those you find in your typical thriller from Tami Hoag or Sue Grafton. The story line is one of the most intelligent plots I've read in a long time, and the characters are as likely to talk about Nietzche and modern philosophy as they are about the Bible. The book explores the disturbing possibilities of genetic technology wedded to post-modern thought (a topic explored chillingly in the non-fiction book The Biotech Century by Jeremy Rifkin). I recommend it heartily.

A great read

The Nephilim Seed had me in suspense. I recommend it to Christians looking for engaging reading without the typical and undesireable themes and issues so often found in today's fiction. You should check out his other books - especially "Final Witness" and "Blind Justice."

Five Rivets is More Like It!

You'll have a hard time getting out of your chair while reading The Nephilim Seed. The fast pace literally propells you from chapter to chapter and you'll find yourself wishing you could take the whole day for reading "to find out what happens next!" Bell's salty character "Jed" is a winner, and someone you'll root for from beginning to end.
