Summary: Slyness Ends--But Not The Powerhouse Story
Review: Well, you knew the sleight-of-hand, the literary legerdemain, couldn't continue forever. The author kept us pretty much in suspense for more than two books. But it all comes to a screaching halt in book three. Finally, all the chips are on the table. Everything's out in the open. The cat's out of the bag.What we get instead of red herrings and blind alleys is powerful, straightforward storytelling of the first water. What we also get is a quite harrowing--yet entirely plausible--picture of the last days of Planet Earth as we know it. We also get some more Really Scarry speaches from you-know-who. When the mask is finally peeled away, we get a picture of a creature more nightmarish than Weston, the Unman from Perelandra--someone who makes Freddy Krueger look like St. Francis. But we get something even better--a picture of redemption that is truly moving. Did BeauSeigneur deliver the goods here in book three? You bet, and in spades. This is it. The real thing. You'll be sorry if you miss it. Well, this is my last communique from the front. I'm going to miss sending out these dispatches. Hope they were helpful.

Summary: Awesome! Best Books Ever!
Review: I saw the Left Behind movie, which interested me in "end of times" books. I then bought the entire Left Behind series, up to "The Mark". While I enjoyed it at first, by the last book the writing was extremely redundant and seemed the writer was stringing the series along to make as much money as possible. While reading reviews on the series, I saw a remark that the Christ Clone Trilogy was much better. One I read this series, I was blown away! It is by far the very best books I probably ever will read. Amazing is more like it. I have since forwarded the series to my mother who is currently reading it and totally enthralled in book 3. What I truly appreciated was that this was only a 3 book series and thus I knew an end would be reached. I would recommend this series to EVERYONE who has any interest in revelation/ the bible/ or just good reading. Two Thumbs Up!!!

Summary: Wow!
Review: I'm impressed. I was sure that I would never read a book about the end of the world as powerful as We All Fall Down, but Beauseugneur has done it. Perhaps it's the fact that Beauseigneur had more time in three novels, so the end result is more cumulative, whereas Caldwell only had one book, but whatever it is, these three novels form an amazing trilogy. Read these books. You will not be dissapointed

Summary: A Christian Tale of the Second Coming of Christ
Review: Because of the translations involved, the Bible is often obscure to the average reader. With directed assistance, it makes much more sense. In this book, Mr. BeauSeigneur has created a vivid, detailed exposition of the events in Revelations that are prophesized to precede the second coming of Christ. Many readers will find their interest in Revelations rekindled from reading this novel. In this book, Christopher Goodman proclaims that the New Age of man is at hand. Man will move beyond needing God to become God's peer. With the aid of a blood communion, the rate of expansion in human powers rises at a fast pace. Just as progress seems the smoothest and most certain, disasters begin to occur all around the earth. Christopher denounces these as being psychic manifestations of those who are resisting the New Age, and vows to wipe out the people who encourage them. The war between the new and old beliefs quickly shapes up into a culminating battle between good and evil in the minds of both sets of people. What will happen? Who will prevail? What will life be like in the New Age? The suspense around these questions is nicely developed. Where the first two books in the trilogy display much moral and doctrinal ambiguity, this book is squarely in the Christian tradition. Mr. BeauSeigneur uses a fine knowledge of science to provide some fascinating insights into what the Scriptures mean. I thought that this book was by far the best of the three. One of the characters is nicely developed in this final book, while another one who could have been is not. I felt that missing the chance to give a more complete psychological perspective of Christopher Goodman was an important flaw in this novel. That area is explored, but not adequately for my taste. You should realize that the last days as described in Revelations are pretty horrendous, so much of this book reads like a Stephen King novel. If death, violence, and gore bother you, this book will be very upsetting. It takes humanity's potential inhumanity to humanity to new lengths. The action is particularly well developed in this book. I found it compelling, although I was able to resist the temptation to read into the night. I especially liked the plot devices that allowed the reader to understand the perspectives of both the New Age and the "Old Age" people. I have long been fascinated by Petra, and was glad that much of the story was centered there. I felt rewarded by the conclusion offered here. It was worth the trip through the three books to get the author's perspective on what the conflicting beliefs in modern society mean for a Christian. Mr. BeauSeigneur has clearly thought a lot about these questions, and created a thought-provoking series that will cause most to reexamine their behavior, and some their beliefs. Yet the result is "non-preachy" and will be accessible to those who are interested in knowing more about what the Bible tells us. After you finish this book, I suggest that you do use the many Biblical references here to direct you to parts of the Bible or Torah that you would now like to reexamine. With this fresh perspective, your understanding of the Scriptures should be much better. I also encourage you to see ways in which belief differences can be bridged, rather than become a source of intolerance.

Summary: Great Conclusion to a Great Trilogy
Review: Before I started book three of the series, I was worried. Could Mr. BeauSeigneur keep it up? Book two was fantastic, so I was worried this one would be a letdown. Rest assured, this isn't the case. Book Three was a great conclusion to the story. The Anti-Christ finally makes his appearance(of course, he's been there all along, but you'll see what I mean when you read the book) and, undoubtably, his true plan is finally revealed. For those of you who were wondering just where the author was going with all the new age stuff, be faithful. It will all make sense in the end. I particularly liked the theme of redemtion in this novel. I don't want to give too much away, so I will not say more, but I think you will be as pleased as I was. Finally, I enjoyed the way BeauSigneur handled Armaggedon and the appearance of Jesus. To be honest, this is a point at which the author could have overdone it, but, as always, he hit the nail on the head. If you enjoyed the previous two books in the series, you will enjoy this one as well. Rating:4.5 Stars

Summary: Solid through to the finish
Review: After reading the first two books of this trilogy, I wondered whether BeauSeigneur was going to be able to keep the pace and keep me interested through to the last. Much of what intrigued me in the earlier books was the ambiguity over good and evil and where the characters fell across the divide. Given that he is dealing with the Apocalypse, BeauSeigneur was going to have to reveal who was who pretty soon, and then where was he going to go to keep me interested? Where he goes is to the heart of questions of faith and redemption as his characters struggle to reconcile their hearts and minds with the events through which they are living. Love, loyalty, betrayal, hope, doubt, faith, fear...emotions run high as the characters endure BeauSeigneur's truly original vision of the torments preceding the End. As a theological statement, BeauSeigneur stays true to his convictions and presents his case clearly and without apology. But this is not a religious tract thinly camouflaged in a story. BeauSeigneur has written a thriller that stands on its own with intriguing characters facing difficult choices. I could certainly list a few criticisms or argue some points, but BeauSeigneur has written such a page-turner with a serious message that it would be petty to nitpick. Regardless of whether you agree with its message (and perhaps even more so if you don't necessarily agree), at a minimum, this trilogy is fun to read, interesting for its science and biblical scholarship, and worthwhile in its statement of religious belief.

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: I struggled reading this series, expecting it to come alive sooner or later, given all the great things said here about it. To my lasting disappointment, it never did. These are merely so-so books. The writing drags, as does the story. I cannot recommend this, and advise you to save your money. As with anything, let the buyer beware!

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: 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: Exciting Read!
Review: I'm 57. In my entire life, I've only read six novels from cover to cover and they were all less than 250 pages. I'm a skimmer, not a reader. I couldn't even bring myself to read the "Left Behind" series. But a friend of mine strongly urged me to at least page through The Christ Clone Trilogy. Once I started, I found myself reading almost non-stop and finishing the third book less than three weeks later. BeauSeigneur has changed many of my views about the return of Christ.
