Fallen Stars, Bitter Waters

The book is excellent. However, I should have paid more attention to the other reviews of this book. YOU CANNOT FINISH THE SERIES BECAUSE THE THIRD BOOK IN THE TRILOGY IS NOT AVAILABLE!!! I would wait to buy either of the books in this series until the third book is published. You thought the Left Behind series left you hanging from year to year. At least they have put out a schedule so you can plan for the next release. There is absolutely no information on the release of the third book in this series. I am mailing a letter to Thomas Nelson Publishing. It is a shame that the "marketeers" of the world are deciding when we should be allowed to read a book. And this is a real shame since these guys are suppossed to be christian publishers. The Rapture is going to happen before we ever get a chance to finish either of these series. If you want one that is finished read the "Christ Clone Trilogy". At least these guys knew how to finish what they started.

Gilbert Morris has proven to be a master in several regards, the most recent being this collaborated work with his son and daughter. Rich characters, captivating vignettes into their handling of end-times crises, demonstrations of faith, and suspense are elements that should captivate most readers. This sequel to The Beginning of Sorrows carries us deeper into a conceivable Revelation scenario. The journey contains rich rewards for those who venture into this disastrous future.So, why hasn't Thomas Nelson Publishing released Seven Golden Vials, the conclusion to the Omega Trilogy?? They are pumping out works that are babes-milk by comparison, yet have not released this anxiously-awaited finale (which was supposedly published in March, 2001). [Don't even bother trying their helpless Website] Readers of this series would be grateful to continue this epic adventure!!

I made sure I read all the LEFT BEHIND books again and the marvelous CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY by James BeauSeigneur before I reviewed this work by the talented Morris clan. I have to agree that this book ranks up with, if not beyond the aforementioned collections if for no other reason than I happen to like the Real-Deal style of the writing. I have reviewed a lot of books in my space here, noteably; LUCIFERS HAMMER, SWAN SONG, THE NEW MADRID RUN, and Others- all sharing a gritty (Real-Deal) style and moment to moment continuity that seperates a work of words from a work of renown. Don't miss this book or it's original installment, and write the publishing house to insist on the final cap to this classic languishing in limbo!!!

Having read all of the "Left Behind" series, I can say that this set of books is much stronger than the LaHaye/Jenkins series. The characters are more complex, and numerous. The writing style, while taking a bit of time to get used to, is more solid than the LB series. Tor von Eisenhalt makes a much more convincing anti-Christ. Left Behind is not a bad place to start, but the Omega Triogy is definitely a more concise step up in literary terms.

Since I work at a Christian Book Store, I have access to numerous books for free. I borrowed this book and read it immediately after I read the first book in the series. I finished this book within a week. For fans of the Left Behind Series, I strongly recommend this book. If you think the Left Behind series is moving too slow, then read these. There will be only three of them, and they move faster and have more interesting characters. This series contains more realistic action and a better plot. I dont want to give you any characters names because I feel you should discover them by yourself, but you can't go wrong with a unit of the army, a Count of Germany possessed by Satan, a boy who is watched over by God himself, and a band of indians. Powerful book.
