I bought this book because I recognized the name of the author as a seminary classmate of mine and so I ordered it as much out of curiosity as anything else. I am happy to report that I am now an official member of the "couldn't put it down" club. I had the luxury of reading it during the great blizzard of '03 that struck the northeast so I had a couple of days to read it while being snowed in. The book is fast paced and it grabs you immediately. The plot brings together a wide range of elements - there is the spy/suspsense/FBI angle, the tragedy of lost love dimension, moral dilemmas, medical research and the ethical questions associated with certain types of research, and a little danger to boot. I have read a smattering of the popular Christian fiction out there, so although I don't consider myself an expert in this genre but I have read enough to know that this book is as good or better than most of the popular Christian fiction out there. I highly recommend it.

An awesome story. Multiple plots all winding around today's questions and everyday struggles dealing with the realities of cancer, abortion and infertility. Strong Christian questions and bitter sweet decisions. A great read. Couldn't put it down.

I could hardly put down this book after reading the first few pages. This is an outstanding suspenseful book by a new writer. We can only hope for many more from him.
Good, Funny, Controversial, Unique perspective

Wow! I made the mistake of taking this book on a 6 day business trip to fill up my spare time. Once I picked up the book I had to force myself to put it down to go to bed. I finished it in two evenings. Then I had to find another book to fill up my spare time.It is a fast action detective thriller with several interesting plot twists. Mr. Delk sprinkled just enough politically incorrect humor in the book to keep me wondering when the next joke was comming. Without giving too much away it is fun to see how he constructed a story with knowledge from a number of different disciplines.The most fascinating thing about the book, however, was Mr. Delk's developement of the characters. Most everyone in the book was far from a one dimensional character. He explores several sides of each of the main characters. I found myself learning a lot about human nature as well as being entertained.It was one of the best books I have read in the last couple of years.
