Summary: Will buy the next 2
Review: I was turned on to the genre by reading the Left Behind series, but thought that there was much more to be desired. Mr Beausinger more than delivers this with a good story backed by his in-depth research. I have already ordered the next two.

Summary: What an amazing book
Review: Wow is this book great or what, and no I'm not gonna compare it to the Left Behind books, they are in a different category. This story is so smart and is geared toward a different audience, I finished Book 1 in one night, I just could not put it down, it was amazing. The part that I thought was just so brilliant was how Rosen explained everything about the Ark, didn't it just make so much sense? And then the appearance of The Apostle John, WOW, what a surprise. Everything in this book just seemed to make more since and fit together much nicer than any of the other end times novels I've read, and although I have pretty much loved all the ones I've read, this one tops them all, I just cannot wait to start on Book 2. I was skeptical at first that a book could really be as good as this was supposed to be but I was wrong, my review and none of the other ones seem to come close to describing this book, the only thing I can say is if you don't have it you are missing out on something really great.

Summary: Non-stop exciting reading
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.

Summary: A Very Good Start
Review: The first book of the trilogy starts off with two chapters detailing the project to prove/disprove the legitimacy fo the Shroud of Turin. From there the novel gets into the fictitious part of the story, which is very very good. Now, every reviewer so far has compared this trilogy to the "Left Behind" series, and I vowed to not do the same. However, I will say that the author is much better at creating characters who have some depth. He is no Charles Dickens, but these are not as paper thin as the Rayford and Chloe Steele's in the Left Behind. Furthermore, the first novel alone covers more than thirty years in which things are slowly changing, whereas in Left Behind events take place at the speed of light. The plot is much more developed than I might have expected, as BeauSeigneur combines political, scientific and military themes in a well thought out tapestry. He includes military conflict not only between Israel and her Arab neighbors, but between China, India and Pakistan. When you combine this with the overall religious theme of the end-times, you can't miss.

Summary: Will human cloning result in the Antichrist?
Review: Will human cloning result in the Antichrist? It sounds like the stuff of pure science fiction. Until... ...until you read Revelation 17:8. Then suddenly it all makes sense. The people will follow the Antichrist because "he once was, now is not, and is to come." That was written between 60 and 90 A.D. So in 60-90 A.D. the Angel could tell John, "he once was, now is not, and yet is to come." And what if 'he' tickled people's ears by telling them exactly what he wanted to hear? I dare not say more for fear of spoiling your enjoyment, and yet there are so many more amazing twists and turns, that cloning is just the beginning. For instance, did you know there is an Old Testament prophecy that gives a partial physical description of the Antichrist? Or that when you write 144,000 in Hebrew characters (Hebrew uses the same characters for numbers and letters) that it spells the Hebrew words "Koom Damah Patar," which if you're not a Hebrew scholar, means "Arise, Shed Tears, and Be Free," which when you think about it, exactly describes the mission of the 144,000 to Israel (see Zechariah 12:10). And, I know novels aren't supposed to have footnotes, but THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY is so grounded in fact that it includes more than 200 footnotes from an amazingly wide range of references. Now tell me Left Behind or any other end-times book even comes close to that!

Summary: Amazing
Review: BeauSeigneur's take on the Rapture, the Ezekiel 38-39 war, the Trumpet Judgments, and on soooo much else is not only the most original (while staying within the bounds of scripture), it's also the most believable depiction I've ever seen. The 6th Trumpet Judgment (in book 2) and the 5th Bowl Judgment (in book 3) will scare you like you've never been scared before!

Summary: This Trilogy should be at the top of the Times Bestsellers!!
Review: Christ Clone is far and away the greatest treatment of end times prophecy I have ever read. It is much better than Left Behind! I am convinced that the events potrayed in the trilogy will be closely played out in the real world. This trilogy contains a very believable Anti-Christ figure. Christ Clone will make you think! These books were so good that they will canonized on my bookshelf for sure!

Summary: A great way to trigger the Apocalypse
Review: The author does a nice job of bringing ancient prophecy and modern technology together in an Apocaplyptic vision. The characters are full-blooded and integrate seamlessly into the plot. BeauSeigneur deserves praise for allowing his version of Revelation to unfold without having characters pop up at every turn to say, "Hey, guys! Isn't this just like Chapter 3, verse 2? Why, this is the Apocalypse!" Rather, the author keeps you wondering who the goods guys and bad guys are, and as with real people, most of these are a bit unsure over what's good and what's bad. For me, it's much easier to accept that ultimate evil will rise on human weaknesses rather than supernaturally assert itself with some in-your-face nastiness. My principal regret is that the author really doesn't credibly follow through on some developments. Millions die and the reaction is "That was strange. We'll have to study this." Which is OK for a while, but the book never returns to give the resolution. So the reader is asked to accept as given a bit more than I was completely satisfied with. Overall, this omission did not override my enjoyment of this intriguing vision and I'll go on to the next in the trilogy. It just would have been nice perhaps to have made this a 'quadrilogy' and fill in some of the logical gaps along the way.

Summary: I've waited a long time for this
Review: For so long, every fictional novel written about Christianity has seemed like it was aimed squarely at a third grade reading level. Why? If ever there was a topic that screamed out for intellegent exploration in fiction, Christianity was it. But all anyone ever seemed interested in was preaching from a stance of self-rightousness and writting about cardboard characters. The Christ Clone trilogy breaks that mold and I was thrilled to read it. If you want to read an intellegent exploration of Christianity, buy this book. I'd also strongly recomend Brian Caldwell's We All Fall Down. Caldwell looks at Christianity from a slightly diffirent angle, but his exploration is every bit as penetrating and his writting nothing short of brilliant. These two authors have finally done the topic justice. About time.
