Summary: Fascinating!
Review: I've just finished the final book in the trilogy. The author has done an incredible job of using factual details, biblical prophecy, science, and a vivid imagination to create for us a very realistic portrayal of the soon-to-be last 7 years on earth. I spent every free moment I had reading these books.
I highly recommend this very well done trilogy. Thank you, Mr. Beau Seigneur, for your wonderful contribution to the bible prophecy literature!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TCCT is an EXCELLENT SERRIES!!!
Review: I had been reading the Left Behind Series and saw the Christ Clone Trilogy listed as books that others had bought. I read the reviews of the trilogy and thought I'd give it a shot. And I was very pleased with the results. The books are fantastic. As a Christian, I was almost ready to put the book down because I felt the direction he was going was anti-christian, but I stuck it out because I wanted to see where he would go. The author does a great job keeping you on the edge of your seat and building a deceptive belief of what is good and what is evil. If you like the Left Behind Series, you'll like this trilogy much better. And if you didn't like the Left Behind Series, I think you will really enjoy this one. Excellent books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mysteries within mysteries, but all is revealed in book 3
Review: I don't want to give anything away about this story, but even if I did, I don't think I would spoil it for you. The Christ Clone Trilogy is packed with mysteries within mysteries within mysteries within ... (well, you get the idea).

If you've read the Left Behind series, you may may begin to wonder what they've gotten yourself into. Things don't happen the way the do in Left Behind, but you'll find that the author has done some amazing research and analysis (including studies of the original Greek) before telling the story in such an unexpected way. The best example may be how the Rapture is portrayed. It's nothing like Left Behind, but if you can't wait, go to pages 119 and 120 of book 3 (Acts of God). The author explains his presentation very convincingly (he changed my mind). But while the story is very different, BeauSeigneur and LaHaye have the same pre-trib/pre-mil eschatology, so if something doesn't seem quite right, keep reading: it will be explained.

The Christ Clone Trilogy is much more real life than Left Behind and you may lose track of what is real and what is fiction, especially in post-9/11 America. It's grittier than Left Behind and aimed at the lost more than at the choir. Some characters in these books occasionally use harsh language (less than in some of C.S. Lewis's best known fiction), but don't expect BeauSeigneur's false prophet and the Antichrist to say, "Golly, gee!"

Over all this is a ground-breaking series, and if you've been secretly or openly disappointed with the quality of Christian fiction, I think you'll agree that with The Christ Clone Trilogy, Christian fiction has finally come of age.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm Speechless
Review: I'm not all that articulate to begin with, but this book has really challenged me to come up with anything coherent at all. It's such a powerful book that I'll never be able to come close in words to describing its effect on me. But as G. K. Chesterton once said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." So here goes.

The first thing I noticed when I began to read it was that I was totally wrapped up in the story. In other words, I was able to suspend disbelief entirely without even realizing I'd done it! When that happens, I know I'm on to a great story.

The second thing I noticed is that I had the hardest time figuring out what was going to happen. That may seem like a bad thing in a novel, but, frankly, I've read too many end times books that were almost totally predictable--not to mention any names. So it was refreshing for me to be all the time trying to figure where the story's going, only to be fooled at the last moment.

But what really got me is just how hard-hitting and impactful this story is. You don't often get that with religious fiction. Too many times it's watered down. Not this book. It ran over me like a bullet train.

So what's the wait? Read this book now. Before you get left behind.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best book ever read!!!
Review: Engrossing! I couldn't put it down for 3 days staight. The research alone required to put together a book of such power is amazing. Those who question religion, and those who believe will both love this trilogy. Truely a series not to me missed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will never be the same !!!
Review: I bought the three books at once and I've never read a end-time serie so brilliant. Now the Trilogy will be released in Portuguese (my native language, I live in Brazil) and I'm anxious to give the Trilogy in Portuguese to all my friends. You can't leave the opportunity of reading ALL THREE BOOKS!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A TRULY POWERFUL SERIES
Review: The entire CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is very well written. I simply couldn't put them down. I suggest you read this series with a highlighter nearby so you can mark things and research them for yourself. This is made easier by BeauSeigneur's use of footnotes.

The Christ Clone Trilogy will surprise you with nearly every page. I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who wants to understand biblical prophecy and the book of Revelation. BUY THESE BOOKS, READ THEM, GIVE THEM TO YOUR PASTOR TO READ, AND BUY COPIES FOR YOUR FAMILY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TCCT is SO MUCH BETTER than Left Behind!
Review: I stopped reading the Left Behind series after #4 (Soul Harvest). I kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. I also read (actually started reading) We All Fall Down, but there the foul language was SO EXCESSIVE I couldn't keep going. Finally I read the books of The Christ Clone Trilogy (why do I feel like Goldilocks here?) and they were "just right!" Actually they're GREAT! So if you're tired of Buck and Rayford playing James Bond, and all the females in the Left Behind world cooing, get The Christ Clone Trilogy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magnificent End Times Series
Review: I found out about this series on the Left Behind web site, it was the best tip I've ever received. The Christ Clone Trilogy is far and away the best end times series I have read. I did think Left Behind was great but this series blew me away. The books are fast paced and amazingly factual. James BeauSeigneur does not pull any punches and shows the reader in detail what is in store for the world. Do yourself a favor and read all three books. Some people think it wraps up at the end of book two but the author will really open your eyes in book three. These books are incredible, I can't praise this trilogy enough.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Intriguing Speculation of World End Times
Review: Seemingly prophetic stories of "biblical" proportions are trendy in the science fiction genre. With the 'Left Behind' series far ahead of many of them, you would hope people are reading these books for entertainment value and not "biblical" fact. One more to add is James BeauSeigneur's trilogy "The Christ Clone Trilogy", with the first one here, 'In His Image'. The Story of the Shroud of Turin and the possibility that its either of Jesus, the one we know from Nazareth some 2000 years ago, or of a Knights Templar a little later in time. According to the carbon 14 dating, the Shroud enters a later period than that of Jesus Christ. But the snag here is there is some blood, a small minute drop that appears to be still living. So who's blood is it? A scientist decides to find out for himself and make a clone of the blood, and thus you have the beginnings of our story. Christopher is the product of that blood (Christ - Christopher). BeauSeigneur was a former intelligence analyst technical manuals for the military, and decided to take a swing at writing fiction. His background is fitting for the worldly affairs that take place within the political arena, however, his spiritual verse needs some discipline. While the story moves quite rapidly (time jumps in decades at a chapter), his writing does not have any life in it. Especially in the beginning of the novel which might read like some of his technical military manuals, referring to the Bible on end, DNA authorities like Francis Crick, along with the literature written on the Shroud of Turin. As the story moves past the "historically" accurate (speculatively interesting), and takes place in the possible future, our humble writer loses his grip on technicalities and focuses on the aim of the story. There is a lot of political jargon, so it may help to be familiar with world politics. I felt the characters were drawn two-dimensional, and the dialogue overall was flat. The book stands at 4 stars because of its informative and speculative factor as well as the main thrust of the story which is one of the better end-time stories I have come across. I look forward to reading the following sequels.
