Summary: Clever Concept Perfectly Executed
Review: This is one of the most clever concepts I've seen in any book and author James BeauSeigneur executes it perfectly. Left Behind fans should love this series, but be forewarned, there is a smattering of harsh language -- though it's nothing you won't hear on network TV these days. Also, you will have a great deal of difficulty telling who the evil characters are until everything is revealed in Acts of God, the third book of the trilogy. Great books! Enjoy!!

Summary: Dianetics was better
Review: And that's not saying much. The only reason I'm comparing this book to Dianetics is that it employes much the same marketing methods. Throw enough recommendations out there and some poor sap is sure to bite. Though I find it hard to believe that the author actually has the time to recommend this book everywhere on amazon, I find it easy to believe that misguided lunatics trying to save everyone from themselves may have the time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BACK FROM THE FUTURE?
Review: James BeauSeigneur has done some very unusual things in his apocalyptic thriller, The Christ Clone Trilogy, and he's done all of them well. First on this list is that (until the third book) he gives no clue who's good and who's bad, who's right and who's wrong. Instead BeauSeigneur acts as an unbiased reporter of the events, and the reader is left to evaluate and discern the truth for himself. This makes for a very good mystery, but it will make some readers very upset as their own beliefs are so cleverly challenged. One word of advice: do not make the mistake of thinking you know which characters speak for the author.

Second on the list of unusual approaches the author takes is that he has built his story so closely on carefully researched real events, real science, real politics, real belief systems (when was the last time you read a fiction series that included footnotes?), that you have a sense that you may be reading a non-fiction book written in the future and sent back to our time for publication.

One final thing that makes this series so extraordinary is BeauSeigneur's use of well-developed minor characters and vignettes to give the reader a view of the global scope of his story. Unlike so many authors who try deal with global issues with contrived attempts to put the story's main characters in close proximity to every important world event, BeauSeigneur draws on a boundless stable of rich characters from around the world to give every page a full measure of realism and depth.

I highly recommend these books to all.

Summary: Mesmerizing
Review: The Christ Clone Trilogy is is a taut, intense, adrenaline-rushing techno-thriller that leaves its readers gasping for breath between pages. The plot is rich with twists and turns waiting to jump out when you least expect them. BeauSeigneur's characters are well developed with believable strengths and very human flaws. The dialogue is smart and believable and occasional humorous twists allow a smile through the tension. The trilogy is well conceived and meets every criteria for a plausible, engaging mystery, regardless of your theological beliefs. Reminiscent of Tom Clancy, Stephen King and C.S. Lewis all rolled into one, BeauSeigneur's style of story-telling stacks up admirably to the best in the business. I was totally mesmerized by this read and was not able to stop until the conclusion of the third book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Christ Clone Trilogy is a Keeper
Review: Even though I don't agree with BeauSeigneur's positions on some things, I must admit that he's done a remarkable job in writing this trilogy. I read too many books to keep everything I read, but these books have earned a permanent place on my bookshelf. I will be reading them again soon.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: God is cringing
Review: Poor James BeauSeigneur. Wait til he goes to heaven and finds out how annoyed God is over these terrible books. Maybeif the author realized that people enjoy reading books with plot and character and sense, he might try his hand again at writing. God knows, he needs professional help.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: In a league of its own
Review: I can understand why readers would compare THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY to LEFT BEHIND, but allow me to be blunt. LEFT BEHIND is not even in the same league with the books of THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY! The LEFT BEHIND series jabbers on endlessly about paper-thin characters and barely deals with the events of prophecy. More time is spent in book 4 of LEFT BEHIND talking about renting a car than is given to three of the prophetic trumpet judgments.

THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is filled with plot twists and turns that could Tom Clancy's head spin, but it stays completely within prophectic boundaries. There are some things that BeauSeigneur protrays in a very manner different than what you might expect, but he backs everything with facts and scripture. Whether he is right or not in how he presents the story, we'll have to wait and see, but when you finish this trilogy you will feel as though you have lived through the last days of planet Earth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BeauSeigneur's Trilogy beats Left Behind hands down!
Review: Add me to the list of people who think the Christ Clone Trilogy is greatly superior to the Left Behind series. I still like Left Behind and I'll buy and read the rest of the series, whether there's 12 or 18 books because I'm interested in the characters, but for explaining prophecy, Revelation, the tribulation, and everything else about the end times and for telling a story that seems really real, the Christ Clone Trilogy does a better job, hands down!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Apocalyptic Thriller!
Review: James BeauSeigneur shows himself to be a master at keeping you on the edge of your seat! His plot twists keep you guessing, even if you're familiar with the prophetic end-times. Even though the Trilogy is a work of fiction, the scientific, medical, and political scholarship is extraordinary. BeauSeigneur has certainly done his homework! And while the technical detail in the book is incredible, it does nothing to bog down the story. In fact, it enhances the story all the more.

The Christ Clone Trilogy never strays outside of what Scripture tells us, though it does take some very unexpected twists. While the trilogy may not follow the usual "party line" on all subjects, BeauSeigneur never, ever violates Scripture. In fact, he documents Scripture more than any other end-times writer I've read.

This book is a must-read. If you haven't read it, you're missing out on one of the best reads of your life.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Makes you wish for the Rapture . . .
Review: . . . So the author of this book and all his insipid religious fanatic fans will be transported to a place where they can no longer bother thinking people with this ridiculous tripe. I too fell for the "customer recommended" scheme. Christian? Maybe. Hypocrite? Definitely.
