review 1: Hey y'all this is Molly's friend Jesse Vercher. I'm borrowing her account since I have none, and just so you know, I did not mean to include this under "royal intrigue drama" category. "Football gunfights and" was supposed to be "football gunfights and humor", but I accidentally saved the shelf title too soon.But anyway, about the book. It's a great, exciting read with plenty of action, humor, and, of course, football. Riley Covington is a great character, very relatable. I also like the character of Scott Ross- he has my sense of humor. Oh, and did I mention that the whole book is thought out to keep you reading and bring you to a thrilling climax? Brilliant plot.P.S. The guy who wrote this is a former Broncos kicker, Jason Elam. Being an avid Saints fan, I'm not huge on ... moreDenver (I was until they betrayed Tebow for Peyton Manning). But Jason Elam is a great author, a great guy, and a great kicker. This book is awesome! P.P.S. Jason also played for the Falcons. No matter what my fellow Saints fans say, Atlanta is NOT our enemy. The Falcons are, truthfully, on the side of good- just like us Saints. And that's all that matters in the end. P.P.P.S. (if, in fact, that many P's before an S exist) The 49ers are our true nemisis.I know this sounds extensive, but here we go: P.P.P.P.S. Sorry if I got carried away talking about football, but you can't blame me. Just speaking the truth. But anyway, back to the subject of this great book: It displays a very real fight between good and evil, and it is a great story about a man who aspires to do good in the world. And more than humor, action, or football, it is about one great cause: defending freedom.Bye folks!-Jesse
review 2: This book is suspenseful from start to finish. There are several plot lines going on at once and at times, I got a little confused. I thought it might have been helpful to have read book 1 of the series to get some of the characters straight, but this one can stand on its own. Elam is a former NFL football player, so the football references are authentic. This is the first Christian fiction book I've read that didn't feel like "Christian" fiction. The characters turn to God for help, but it's realistic, not distracting, and happens at appropriate times. This is truly representative of the move Christian fiction is making into mainstream fiction. Because of the terrorism theme, there is plenty of "blood and guts" in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would read this author again. less
