I found this slow to start and hard to get into. For the first 100 pages or so nothing seemed to be happening then all of sudden the pace got fast and almost confusing.
"Bury me standing. I must be buried standing." Powers, the follow-up to John Olson's Shade ("a must-read for those who enjoy Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti" --Publishers Weekly), introduces a sheltered Gypsy girl named Mariutza. Her grandfather utters a mysterious last request before dying in her arms after being shot by ten cloaked men. Those same men die before her eyes, but strange powers continue to pursue Mari through the swamps of southern Louisiana where she has always hidden from "the Badness." The whole world seems to join in the chase--helicopters, soldiers, government agents, and the police are all trying to kill her. Mari's only hope of survival is to find Jaazaniah the Prophet, the mythical hero of her grandfather's bedtime stories. But she has never been outside the swamp or known other humans besides her grandfather and one teacher. How can this lone girl survive the bewildering world of men long enough to find a prophet who might not even exist? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Even if it is not as well written as a Peretti, it is still a good novel, a good read, that will keep you captivated until the last page. I recommend it!
