Summary: Satisfying!
Review: I have read all of the Left Behind series and the Christ Clone Trilogy is far superior to the other series (I read reviews on the Trilogy and bought all 3 books based on what I was hearing from other readers). The Anti-Christ was very engaging up to the point of his resurrection and then becomes very insidious; because of this book 2 troubled me. The third volume was a wild thrill-a-minute ride and the last 2 chapters were perfect with a surprise ending. I would recommend the Trilogy to anyone who is interested in endtimes novels and a good read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was skeptical, but . . .
Review: I bought this book because many of the reviews I've read here at Amazon have mentioned the Christ Clone Trilogy as being as good as We All Fall Down, by Brian Caldwell. I was skeptical, simply because Caldwell's novel is such a singularly extraordinary novel and as a whole, the genre is pretty poor when it comes to quality. Still, I gave it a try and my only regret is that I didn't order all three novels at once, and have to wait for the next two to find out what Beausinger has planned next. This novel is actually very diffirent from Caldwell's, but the quality is very much the same. Beausinger is a real pro when it comes to writing ability. He creates a truly believable endtimes scenario and really draws the reader in. This is a great novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Left wanting more
Review: I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed reading this trilogy. When I was done I wished there were another book. Mr. James BeauSeigneur makes the words come alive. I do like the left behind series but I think this series far surpassas it. I do wish he would write some more books like this. The thing is you just don't know till the end how it is going to turn out even though you know the good guys win he keeps you wondering who the bad guy is. Please Mr BeauSeigneur write some more good books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Christ Clone Trilogy
Review: If you can't eat one potato chip, you can't read just one of these well written and well planned books. Even with the strongest beliefs, you will still be carried along until you are broad-sided with the startling turn of events in the last of the trilogy. If you buy one, buy them all and treat yourself to some smooth reading with all the proper footnotes. Bet you can't read just one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Cleverly Done
Review: He's a sly one, this James BeauSeigneur. With red herrings liberally scattered throughout, it's really hard to tell where he's coming from. Is he a New Ager? A fundamentalist Christian? Only The Shadow knows, and he's not telling.

As with many other reviewers, I, also, do not like this genre. Haunted by the likes of Salem Kirban, A Thief in the Night, and the notorious Left Behind series, it's not the most happening category around. The Christ Clone Trilogy is different. For one thing, it's far more carefully written and researched than any other End Times fiction I'm aware of. For example, there are all kinds of delicious little plot bombs just waiting to explode in the careless reader's face. The author's knowledge of everything from geopolitics to obscure culturial practices of the Inuit people is remarkable.

All in all, a story about the end of the world that's very credible, even persuasive. Try it out, you might like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book, but.....
Review: The first I heard of this book it had been described as "if Tom Clancy had written Left Behind". I liked the story but it never grabbed me like the "Left Behind" series of books did. This book started slowly introducing cahracters and setting a real scientific backgroud for the premise of the story. I would recomend this book to anyone who has read and enjoyed the "Left Behind" series as an alternative view of their future, but don't expect a re-telling of the same story.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yawn.....
Review: After being left hanging by Left Behind series I was desperate for a conclusion to an end times story. I had heard that this trilogy was exciting and well done so I bought all three books. I forced myself to read the first book, yawn. It laid the groundwork for the story, but it was boring. The second book was a bit better, still no real rush. The third book had promise, but ultimately was a race to the end. The climax was a huge disappointment. I'm giving the books to the used book store. Not something I'd recommend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I had almost given up
Review: I developed a taste for Christian fiction about six months ago when a friend loaned me his copy of We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell. It really changed the way I looked at both God and at myself. I figured I had discovered a whole new genre of books to read, and began diving into some of the other Christian fiction out there. To my great disapointment, none of it was any good. Wooden characters, weak plot, poor dialouge, and no real inclination to really explore religous questions had almost killed off my enthusiasm.

The Christ Clone Trilogy reignited it. I found these books to be every bit as compelling as We All Fall Down. they are diffirent. Caldwell's book is more emotional and personal whereas BeauSeigneur focuses more on the big picture. In a way, I found they complemented each other very well. Unlike most of the other books out there, BeauSeigneur can write like a pro. He's obviously given an enourmous amount of thought to the subject and it's a delight to read his musings. Each instalment to the trilogy ends on a cliffhanger so tense that I was angry at myself for not ordering all three books at once.

It's a real shame that masterpieces like The Christ Clone Trilogy and We All Fall Down aren't more popular when shallow, poorly written books ... sell in the millions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent piece of work
Review: I've read a number of Christian related books & seen a number of Christian related movies (including the "Left Behind" series) but this is far better than any of them. I'm surprised they haven't made it into a movie. The first book is mainly background information you'll need when you get into the second & third books. The second & third books are where the fun begins. The author sticks close to the bible. I had a hard time putting the books down & wish there were 5 or 6 books to the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I will be Brief
Review: My reviews are not as eloquent or verbose as some, so I will say simply, READ this book and the following volumes. While some may not appreciate the worldly way the scenario is presented or JBS's interpretation of Biblical prophesy, I can testify to the fact that the conflicting emotions evoked thru the reading are strengthening and valuable to those of us who look at the news and follow the shifting emphasis in the markets to Technology and Bio-Technology every day. Along with the Gilbert Morris OMEGA TRILOGY books, IN HIS IMAGE:Book one of THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY and the subsequent works by James BeauSeigneur dull the impact of the LEFT BEHIND series. DO not despair Jenkins-LaHay fans. All books that reflect the truth of the GOOD BOOK are good books .
