Summary: The Christ Clone Trilogy
Review: The Christ Clone Trilogy is a series that deals in another view of Revelation. Unlike the "Left Behind" series this series is seen from a personal view of one close to the Antichrist and until the third book very little is related to the Revelation. However, the 3rd book does cover all aspects with quotes and references. Since the "Left Behind" series is not complete the Christ Clone series does present the entire view of James BeauSeigneur.
In all I found the series thoughtful and different.

Summary: Most captivating series I have ever read.
Review: This is one of the best series of books I have ever read...regardless of genre. You "live" these books as you read them, never being quite sure what did/will happen versus what *might* happen. It is all too believable. The author's talent of mixing historical fact and footnotes throughout the book require a constant reminder that you are reading a work of fiction. Five stars are just not enough.

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyed
Review: Fascinating concept,original. I think better written than the "Left Behind" Series, which I found tedious after the 2nd one. The Christ Clone books are totally believable. A great read.

Summary: Impressive ideas, unimpressive writing.
Review: The sheer volume of research and the magnitude and breadth of the story's scope are impressive, and the plot devices and twists are creative and entertaining. Surely, the premise has been done before but perhaps never as ambitiously or completely discussed since the Greatest Story Ever Told. It's just that BeauSeigneur isn't a fiction writer, really. His characters lack depth, his dialogue is contrived and lacks a normal conversational flow present in much better writers. I keep thinking as I read this, that if BeauSeigneur just plopped his notes and research on Stephen King's lap and said, "make this work", we'd have three (or if you know King, six) marvelous books of well-written prose *and* some really creative twists. It's certainly far-reaching in its scope, but I don't think this former speechwriter was up to the task of writing it down. Given the other reviews, I'd say my opinion is unpopular, but I'd do readers a disservice by offering fake praise.

Summary: Good writing and interesting story
Review: I enjoyed the book and I thought the concept was interesting but I did find myself wincing a little at the language. I tend to read all books of all kinds, but when I read a "Christian" book, I don't expect to find bad language. I read Christian books because I want to be edified spiritually, grow in the knowledge of the Lord and hopefully come away from the book a little wiser, even with fiction. I just want others to be aware of what it contains. I may still move on to the second in the series.

Summary: A Sly and Intelligent Series by a Master Storyteller
Review: These are amazing books. BeauSeigneur is an incredibly talented writer who risks offending those less perceptive in order to make his point. Many of those who object most to this series would be its greatest fans if they would either read through to the third book, or if they'd take the time to realize that the characters are not necessarily speaking for the author. It's funny really: BeauSeigneur's great talent at weaving his story and his ability to pull the wool over the reader's eyes is evidenced most by the objections of those who should be his core audience.

Summary: Good writing but stupid story...
Review: This story was, quite simply, based on nothing. The Turin Shroud has been proven to be a fake - not just by Carbon-14 dating but also by thermoluminesnce and electron spin resonance tests as well as by historical criticism of extant records. Yet this whole book is based on it being "the real thing." There are enough flaws in Christianity as a religion without bringing in patently false history. This is not to bash Christians - it is simply a fact in the research that I have done. The somewhat "other-wordly" nature of Jesus posited in the book was an interesting twist but not enough to carry the day for me. This book tries to walk that secular/religious line and, I guess for the most part it does okay on that, but the whole basis of the plot is ruined right from the start with the Shroud material. True believers in Christianity will probably not like where the book goes. Secular readers will not be gulliable enough (in the religious sense) to buy into the premise.

Summary: The Best Yet
Review: This is the first book in a trilogy about the end times described in the bible. Having already read other end times fiction, I can recommend this series as the best out there. Unlike the more popular end times fictional series, these books were written for readers who want to think. Character development is three dimentional, rather than flat. Science is carefully joined with end times prophesy for a very chilling, but realistic feeling. If you are looking for "cotton candy for the brain", these books are not for you and I would point you towards the "Left Behind Series." If, however, you prefer fiction for the intelligent adult, then these books are just the thing for you. One tip...buy the second and third book in the series together with the first book. You will not want to have to wait for the remaining two books to arrive once you finish book one.

Summary: Cannot recommend this series highly enough!
Review: I have read the "Left Behind" series, the "Omega Trilogy" and now, this trilogy. There is NO comparison. I read the entire trilogy in five days, and was riveted from start to finish. It is not the easiest read, as it is very thoroughly researched, in-depth, and maturely written. An interesting premise comes from the fact that it is told from the perspective of the Anti-Christ. There are surprises around every corner and the ending will take your breath away!

Summary: Better than "Left behind series"!
Review: I am very pleased to have read this book. I have read all the left behind books myself and found this to be just as good. Kinda spooky at times. If you like the left behind series than you should really get this also. The second book really keeps you on your toes.
