Summary: Fabulous Christian Fantasy
Review: "As an avid reader and especially as a fantasy lover, I thoroughly enjoyed Bill Hand's ' The Oneprince '. It is a just a fun book to read and the allegory is wonderful. Only three authors have made me chuckle out loud while reading : Mark Twain, David Eddings, and Bill Hand. That's pretty impressive company. I am going to make sure that all three of my sons read this book and I am going to get several copies as gifts for friends who love fantasy. You can bet I'll be the first on the list to get any other books written by Bill Hand.."

Summary: OnePrince Review
Review: An excellent book although it may not be totally suitable for young children. It contains an allegory of Jesus and His deliverance, quite suitable for a Christian audience. The violence is largely minimal and not graphic.It is a good tale, I look forward to the next in the sequence. Enjoy!

Summary: This is a good book for anyone who likes Science Fiction.
Review: Bill Hand combines romance, comedy, fantasy, and action in this book. I would not be afraid to let my fourteen-year-old brother read this. Some of the names are a little hard to pronounce, but that doesn't detract from the storyline. The only problem I have ever had with this book is that I don't want to put it down without finishing it!

Review: Bill Hand has written an excellent book about far-offlands and daring fights that would make the most of us cower in fear. If I didn't know better, I could say that this story was real, and this could actually happen.
I have only one complaint!!! What happens afterward???? Does the Oneprince help them save the kingdom? What happens to the Ruby Scion? Quite disappointing in that area! If anyone has any leads if there is a second book...give me a hint.

Summary: Christian fantasy at its best
Review: I first read Book One "The Oneprince" when it first came out in 1992, at the age of 12; I loved it, eagerly awaited Book Two "The Hidden City," and, when the second volume was not forthcoming, eventually the book got tucked away on my bookshelf and temporarily forgotten. Occasionally I would wonder if the sequel had come out yet, but it was not until 2003 that I discovered the author's web site at http://www.infonline.net/~rapideye/bill2/ and found out that a joint edition of both the volumes had finally been published. I have just now finished reading the dual-edition, and it's so wonderful! Essentially, folks, what we have here is a sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes fairy-tale, sometimes burlesque, and sometimes quite cinematic little parable of the Very Word. See, it doesn't take an astute reader long in Part One to realize that the Oneprince of the title--son of the Oneking Above--is the Christ, as incarnated (or however the logistics work out) in this fantasy world of Redaemus, with its Humans and Rats and Badgers, its Laws and its Demons, its King Pentatutinus and its squabbly Hidden City of Yerushela. It's not a perfect parable, not a direct analogy, but that is all the better as it deftly foils your constant games of guessing which character should be Judas, which Peter, which Mary Magdalene...really, they all take turns fitting one role or another. But you know one thing for sure: This delightful, unforgettable Oneprince, now that they've finally found him, is going to turn their world upside down! In a good way. I highly recommend the book to fans of fantasy, especially of the Narnia variety. Now that I've finally managed to read both volumes of the story, it's taken a permanent place on my list of favorites.

Summary: A great book!
Review: I first read the Oneprince 4 years ago and going back and reading it again I still love it as much as ever. Quad and Gregor, Narramoore, the Honor Guard, Friend Rat and Nellie are all very real and vibrant characters. The dark lord is sinister yet funny and Solofaust is the perfect villain. I've been waiting for a sequel but it seems that Mr. Hand has stopped writing this series. If anyone has any information on this I'd love to know.

Summary: Superb!
Review: I read ONEPRINCE 6 years ago, for the very first time, and couldn't put it down. When I couldn't find the sequel, I read the first one over and over again. My congratulations to the author on a job well done!

Review: I'm not going to go into depth about how much I loved this book and why since I read it years ago. However, my copy of the book said that there was suppose to be a sequal. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Did he never write it??? :-(
