Summary: For once some well written religous fiction!
Review: An excellent series in all. An intelligently written story that takes a different perspective of end-of-times fiction. Vastly more entertaining than the Left Behind drivel...

Summary: Ingenious plot and perspective
Review: Like many end-times fiction works, this story parallels biblical prophecies, mostly in tune with the interpretations espoused by Hal Lindsey in THE LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH. Unlike most other works, however, BeauSeigneur weaves a rich, gripping tale, told from the perspective of the confused "man in the middle." The protaganist is not an "almost Christian," who converts as soon as his loved ones disappear. Rather, he is an intelligent, thoughtful man who struggles through the series, trying to do what is right. We struggle with him--understanding why he does not immediately "get it."There are many twists and turns in the plot that keep the suspense level high. The author creates a true dilemma--stretching all readers--regardless of their current religiosity. Additionally, there is a sophistication here that many other novels in this genre lack. The bottom line: read this book! My hope is that a major publishing house discovers this talented author.

Summary: Slow beginning, but promising
Review: Having just read all 3 books in the Christ Clone Trilogy, I have to conclude that it was an extremely well done series. In the first book, I was unsure whose side to be on. Certainly throughout this trilogy, plot supersedes characterization. Nevertheless, I feel it is much better than the Left Behind series. The plot line is really, really good. The message of the story is also excellent. I'm sure the author was most concerned with making a point, and he accomplished this goal. My only minor complaint is that as a Roman Catholic, I took exception to the almost nonexistence of the Church. Of course the theology of the Rapture is within 200 years new, and the Church does not interpret scripture the way ths writer presents it. But I read the book as a novel. In that sense, it was very satisfying. I would strongly recommend reading all 3 books in the series, as the third book is by far the best. You will be neither bored nor disappointed in the development and finale. Also, there is a thought-provoking twist to how the Antichrist is able to deceive the multitudes, convincing the multitudes that evil is good and good is evil. If I'd have to summarize the moral to this story it would be that "The devil was a liar from the beginning."

Summary: WOW ! Truly THE best! Should have been promoted more!!!
Review: This series MUST be read in it's entirety. Under no circumstanc-es can you stop on book one or two, or you will do yourself a total injustice. This series by far exceeds the Left Behind's. I was so 'afraid' as I was reading, worrying about where it was actually going. As a Christian, I was reading things that had me wondering what this author was truly doing. For him to be able to have written and have the reader actually wonder to that extent, only shows the extreme talent and gift this man has(plus obvious years of true research this man has done). As I finished book three this morning, my husband came out to find me crying as I read. The emotion that you feel is overwhelming and as real as if you are experiencing the events. When you find a book that can do this, you must not allow yourself to be deprived of this read! We are avid readers of assorted subjects. But this is by far my favorite. The author does not spend wasted and unnecessary time on trivial details and 100 different characters who have no meaning in the end anyway. Yet, he is still able to give you such detail that you can 'feel' and 'smell' and 'sense' each event. You can create a personal feeling toward, or against, each person you are being introduced to in this story. I have not read a better book. No one can KNOW what it will truly be like, but Mr. BeauSeigneur has put this book of fiction into such an excellent masterpiece. Although we have read many of the Rapture books, including the full series of the Left Behinds, this trilogy is in a class of it's own. The L.B.'s feel like books for youngsters to me now after having read the Christ Clone Trilogy. Book 3 is your climax, but you must read the previous two first. It is easy to see how some people could actually be 'swayed' or question themselves when this time comes. It WILL happen so quickly and seem as the 'right' thing to many at that time. Millions will be fooled. The personal relationship with Christ will be needed to survive the Tribulation, in addition to knowledge of God's Word. The Lord has told us all; we all have the information, the prophesy's (done and remaining) have been made available for all. This is truly a Christian's book. Kudo's on Kudo's for this book. I personally hope to be able to contact Mr. BeauSeigneur via email or letter, (that information is available at the end of the book) to tell him how moved and truly blessed by his writing and that I sincerely hope to see more of his work soon. That is how much I loved this book! He is an exceptionally talented and gifted man! We thank him for his obvious love of the Lord and look forward to more of his wonderful work!

Summary: Defies convention
Review: All three of the Christ Clone trilogy books will peak your interest if you're into theology or science. The age old debate of religion vs. science is a hot one, and James BeauSeigneur does an excellent job of raising questions that interest many of us. Don't go into this expecting a typical view of the Bible and religion. If you keep an open mind and realize it's one man's interpretation and imagination, you'll find it an excellent read.

Summary: Just ordered books 2 and 3!
Review: Absolutely devoured this book.
I was hesitant to order this book because of the "religious" overtones, although the reviews were simply too good to ignore. This is the type of book I really enjoy - faction - or fiction based on fact. The facts are the numerous biblical references (and footnotes). They're not overwhelming and blend perfectly with the story. The fiction is the story of cloning using cells recovered on the Shroud of Turin. What a great read. The book was fast-paced and a great read, well-written with well rounded out characters.
I just finished and it left me wanting for (much) more. I've just ordered the next 2 and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. If the reviews tempt you at all - get it. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: NOT biblically-based reading
Review: I bought this book because it was recommended along with the Left Behind series. Buyer beware: if you are looking for an end-times story that is solidly based on biblical prophecy, this is not the book for you. The author takes certain biblical references out of context and weaves them into his own New Age interpretation of "all roads leading to God". He even blatantly makes up lies that seekers who aren't familiar with the Bible might swallow. For example, he says that the apostle John was the true betrayer of Christ, not Judas. I would hate to see anyone be led astray by the theology in this book. If you enjoy Bible-based reading, stick with the Left Behind series.

Summary: Come on, now
Review: I have seen this book being recommended in conjunction with many other books, of which I see little relevance. I find it suspect, and therefore doubt, that the recommendations are purely on the merits of this novel, versus the theocratic belief behind it. It is rather unfortunate that people are abusing the policy of book recommendation to further what they feel is 'right' as opposed to what is 'good'.

Summary: Great Premise
Review: Best Premise since "DRIVEN", by W. G. GRiffiths, which I read in one day. The story flys along, gripping facts, very believable, good diologue. Christian fiction has arrived.

Summary: I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!
Review: Christians who judge these books based on the concept or after reading just the first one or two books need to consider the words of John 7:24, "Do not judge according to appearance but judge with righteous judgment." And the words of Ecclesiastes 7:8, "The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." You may not be able to imagine how a story about cloning Christ could be turned to God's glory, but God has given Mr. BeauSeigneur enough imagination to do exactly that, and to do it VERY VERY WELL! I urge everyone to read these books.
