Summary: Fiction you can believe!
Review: These are amazing books! Everyone knows than when you read fiction you have to be prepared to suspend disbelief and tell yourself: "Okay, it's just a book. Everything doesn't have to make sense." This would be especially true for something like a book about cloning Jesus.And yet, James BeauSeigneur has done so much to insure credibility and accuracy in all the broad range of areas he's covered, that you'll find yourself believing it could all be true. And the way the story depicts the fulfillment of end-times prophecy will have you convinced that the author's got that nailed too.

Summary: Simply not a writer
Review: I'm sorry, but while the concept has promise, these books are very, very tough going. The writing is unbearably monotone, plodding along, making it unduly hard to stay focused on the story (which wanders all over the place). If you are looking for a quality read in this vein, let me suggest a copy of Frederick Forsyth's Fist of God--now that is a quality novel that approaches writing as an art, rather than simply laying out reams of information like a journal. These books are about as interesting as reading the Congressional Record, and just about as long.

Summary: Don't miss the fist great books about Revelations.
Review: For many years now, there have been an awful lot of books produced about Revelations. The emphasis is on awful. For whatever reason, those books have often been poorly writen, preachy to the point of offensive, and completely lacking any real spiritual insight. Finally, in the last few years, two authors have produced amazing books about Revelations. Brian Caldwell's We All Fall Down is the first truly mature look at Revelations. It's not a book for people looking to stand at a distance, as it is an emotionally devistating piece of fiction. It is raw and uncompromising, a book that will grab you by the throat and shake your soul. I don't think I have ever read a book that challenged me to examine my faith so strongly. BeauSeigneur's Christ Clone Trilogy is equally impressive, if in a different way. While Caldwell's book focuses on the spiritual psychology of a single character, Beausigneur tackles the big picture. His novels are intellegent and incredibly well-researched. His novels make you believe that the end of the world could happen, not just spiritually, but intellectually as well. The two authors complement each other quite well, with BeauSigneur tackling the big picture and Caldwell zeroing in on the personal. What both writers have in common is a perfect ear for dialouge, a scathing intellegence, and an insight into spiritual matters that was exciting to read. After suffering through so many second rate novelists tackle revelations, it was an incomparable pleasure to read these magnificent books.

Summary: The Series Continues
Review: The Birth of An Age, book two in the Christ Clone Trilogy, actually improves upon the first one in the Series. In this one we see the rise of the Anti-Christ as well as the fullfilment of more end time prophecies. I like the way the Author deals with the prophecies about the three asteriods which will rain death and destruction on the earth. He doesn't brush over their impacts on our planet, but uses scientific data to estimate how many people would die and just how much destruction would occur based on speed and mass of the object. However, I should say that BeaquSeigneur doesn't let the story get bogged down by this; he gives just enough facts to make it interesting but doesn't drown you in minutiae. Finally, we see the reappearance of some characters we haven't seen much of lately. I also found the authors ability to write believable characters to be undiminished. Unlike some other novels about the End Times (whose names shall remain unspoken) these characters do not suddenly change. When they do, they do it slowly over time, just as we all do. The best thing is that, for the most part, none of the characters are written as Arch Types. As the Book comes to a close the reader will certainly find himself/herself desperately awaiting the arrival of book 3. This is always a sign of a well written book. Rating 4.5 Stars.

Summary: Credible Vision Keeps You Guessing
Review: First, BeauSeigneur has done one of the best jobs I have seen of destroying the planet. He deftly weaves an impressive command of science, biblical prophecy, and New Age movements into a compelling apocalyptic thriller. Moreover, unlike most of the genre, BeauSeigneur doesn't telegraph all his punches. At the end of this, the second of the trilogy, I'm pretty sure that I know what's going on in the Good vs Evil department, but I'm not 100% certain. And that's a notable achievement. BeauSeigneur is able to prompt the very doubts that I expect one would face in the real Apocalypse. The neat thing is that I will have to read the last of the books before I can decide whether I really like the trilogy or whether it culminates in a monumental disappointment. For now, I praise the books for being well-researched, well-crafted, with the distinction of prompting some considered reflections without loading down the action with a lot of sermonising. Two minor points though: if you're French or a Francophile, you won't be pleased with the main French characters; and if you're Christian, you'll need to trust the author's instincts since this book turns everything on end. Enjoy!

Summary: A "front row seat" to the Tribulation
Review: THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY by James BeauSeigneur is a "front row seat" to the Tribulation as seen through the eyes of a non?Christian. It presents an entirely realistic and believable explanation of every end?times event from the prophecies of both the Old and New Testaments. Written by a man who has been a political science professor, a newspaper publisher, an intelligence analyst for the National Security Agency, and politician who once ran against Al Gore for Congress, The Christ Clone Trilogy is flawless in its presentation. The science is first class; the military strategy and politics are ingeneous; the human psychology is penetrating; the characters are rich and three dimensional; the interweaving of religious beliefs creates a Gordian knot that even Alexander the Great could not fathom; and its Antichrist character is the first one ever to be worthy of Jesus' warning in Matthew 24:24. In short: its understanding of the real world will lead you to believe that this just may be how God really does bring about these prophetic events. One warning: The Christ Clone Trilogy is written for a non?Christian audience. If you stop reading before you get to the middle of the third book, you may think you have been misled and that BeauSeigneur is a very evil man. Keep reading.

Summary: Positively Breathtaking!
Review: I first heard of THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY from a review by Charles Sheffield, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning science fiction author. Sheffield raved about BeauSeigneur's trilogy, calling it "an engrossing and ingenious story," and said that "James BeauSeigneur brings to bear a fine mix of scientific, political, and religious knowledge to illuminate this powerful tale." It sounded great but it wasn't until two years later when I read the comments of Kerry Livgren (you know, the guy who wrote "Dust in the Wind," "Carry On Wayward Son," and a dozen other million-selling songs for the band Kansas) that I finally ordered the books. After reading the trilogy I have to completely agree with Kerry Livgren's opinion: "Breathtaking. It's as fine a piece of work as I have read, on several different levels."

Summary: Will human cloning result in the Antichrist?
Review: Will human cloning result in the Antichrist? It sounds like the stuff of pure science fiction. Until... ...until you read Revelation 17:8. Then suddenly it all makes sense. The people will follow the Antichrist because "he once was, now is not, and is to come." That was written between 60 and 90 A.D. So in 60-90 A.D. the Angel could tell John, "he once was, now is not, and yet is to come." And what if 'he' tickled people's ears by telling them exactly what he wanted to hear? I dare not say more for fear of spoiling your enjoyment, and yet there are so many more amazing twists and turns, that cloning is just the beginning. For instance, did you know there is an Old Testament prophecy that gives a partial physical description of the Antichrist? Or that when you write 144,000 in Hebrew characters (Hebrew uses the same characters for numbers and letters) that it spells the Hebrew words "Koom Damah Patar," which if you're not a Hebrew scholar, means "Arise, Shed Tears, and Be Free," which when you think about it, exactly describes the mission of the 144,000 to Israel (see Zechariah 12:10). And, I know novels aren't supposed to have footnotes, but THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is so grounded in fact that it includes more than 200 footnotes from an amazingly wide range of references. Now tell me Left Behind or any other end-times book even comes close to that!

Summary: The best fiction treatment of the end times
Review: I have been interested in prophecy for more than 30 years. As such, I've read some very good and some very bad fiction and non-fiction treatments on the subject. One of the best non-fiction books I've read is FOOTSTEPS OF THE MESSIAH by Arnold Fruchtenbaum. Unquestionably the very best fiction treatment I've read is THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY. Because of my interest in the subject, and because I spend most of my day on the Internet, I spend a lot of time on various prophecy web sites. I read about TCCT on PhopheZine.com, which gave BeauSeigneur's books glowing reviews. Of course the best known books on the subject are the LEFT BEHIND books by LeHaye and Jenkins, but lately I've seen people talking about TCCT more and more places. Usually when people discuss an idea that originated with BeauSeigneur, they cite him or mention TCCT. But even when they don't, you can tell they've read TCCT because the ideas are so completely original.
