Absolutely Fantastic!

I must mention firstly that Jeremy has again set a new record for creating suspence.
If you have already read 'Raising the Past' and 'Didymus Contigency' then you'll love this fine work. It's got more action than 'Raising the Past', more religious undertones than 'Didymus Contigency'.
If you like a good science fiction novel that isn't too far fetched then you'll love this read.
The plot, layout and readability are also worth mentioning, I'm not into really heavy books that take a PhD to read and understand but Jeremy (as always) finds a way to highlight coincidental and historical events with the story and I found that just envelopes the reader even more and encourages you to read on.

Back to His Best, One of the most interesting theoretical stories I have ever read. Unfortunately went off the original bible account 3/4 way through, but still a good read. Hope there is more to come!

I dont normally find the odd inconsistency or inaccuracy too distracting in a work of fiction but Mr Robinson pushes wild coincidence and improbability to new extremes that are impossible to ignore.
In providing background to his scenario he presents 'scientific ideas' that wouldn't convince a thoughtful 14 year old and all such holes in his plot are covered by the justification that God can make anything happen.
There are also some staggering stereotypes, the Americans (God bless them all) are heroic and save the day, the Arabs are a bunch of suicide bombers, the Chinese ruthless and deceitful.
Sadly, by the end it had also become clear that a sequel would seem to be on the cards.
There are some very positive reviews here and I would agree that it is fast moving and there is plenty of action but I'm afraid I found it a very frustrating read and will not be bothering with any more of his books.

Exciting but a little depressing.....

I thought that this was a rollicking good story, with plenty of excitement and action and some great ideas - I'm no expert on the Bible, but the combination of religious ideas with real historical events was very cleverly entwined and certainly makes you think - but be warned that the book is also Apocolyptic in every sense so don't read it if you want cutesy, happy ever after endings.

Entertaining Edge of Seat Thriller!

Once again Jeremy Robinson has written an exciting read that kept me turning page after page. His imaginative writing skills have had me hooked since reading The Didymus Contingency and I look forward to each new book being published. Can't wait until the next one!
