Chargement... Otherworld: A Novelpar Jared C. Wilson
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  BrannonSG | Jan 9, 2019 |   So the story: UFOs and aliens seem to begin invading a Texas town, while one man tinkers with summoning a being from another dimension, and another man struggles with the loss of his marriage. It all works out in the end though: demons are banished by the name of Jesus, and Mike and Molly start to make amends. There's much more going on within this story, but you need to read it to experience the terror, and the sadness, and the happiness for yourself. I received an e-galley of this book from NetGalley for review. (  ) kevbayer | Jun 20, 2014 | ) Bill.Bradford | Mar 27, 2014 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Something strange is happening in Houston and its rural suburb, Trumbull. It starts with the bizarre mutilation of a farmer's cow, sparking rumors of UFO sightings and alien visitations. It's all an annoyance for the police, who would prefer to focus on the recent murders in the area. Mike Walsh is a journalist with a nagging editor and a troubled marriage who finds himself inexorably drawn into the deeper story creeping up on all who dare get close enough: a grizzled small town police captain, a depressed journalist, a disillusioned pastor, and a little old man. They are unlikely allies against the otherworld. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I did not like the early chapters of this book. The setting: UFO's killing visiting a farm outside Houston, TX. Maybe. Characters who clearly do not approve of guns. A pastor who doubts his ministry. A marriage on the rocks. Mockery of gospel hymns. Murder. Stalking. Dark, dark, dark! Still, somehow, as the story unfolded I was hooked. All things are not as they appear to be, and worldviews can change. About 1/2 way through, the story picked up pace, went in a direction I could see coming (of which I was thankful), and actually contained the best gospel presentation I have ever read in a book of fiction. Finally (no pun intended) the ending, which started to become more obvious as it approached, though not without an unexpected turn, took a bit too long to fully resolve. Overall, I would recommend Otherworld: A Novel if you can press through the first 25% and the final 10% of the book. 387 pages. (
