Title: Premonition (Book Two of the City of God series) Author: Randall Ingermanson Publisher: Zondervan ISBN: 0-310-24705-5 Genre: Inspirational/Science Fiction/Biblical Fiction
What do you get when you combine a Messianic Jew, an Israeli physicist and a wormhole? A ripping good read! This was the first Randall Ingermanson book I had picked up. I really didn't know what to expect, despite hearing glowing reviews from a friend. Sci-fi wasn't my cup of tea, and anything involving time travel usually brought a yawn to the surface quick smart. But this was more than sci-fi. From the first chapter I was hooked. I was pulled into the world of Rivka, a Messianic Jew, and her husband Ari, an Israeli physicist. I too entered the wormhole and was transported back to the year 57 A.D. As Rivka roamed Jerusalem in the first century, armed with foreknowledge of disastrous coming events, I learned a thing or two about the Jewish culture. Not only was this book entertaining, it was informative. I'm not particularly into historical fiction either, but this book was more than that. It has all the elements to make a good read for everyone. No matter what type of fiction you usually read, this book won't disappoint. According to the author it isn't necessary to read his first novel Transgression first. I hadn't. And he was right. I could still follow along nicely. More than anything, reading Premonition first has given me a hunger for Transgression, which could be a bit of a problem since it is now out of print and hard to get. A shame. The more Randall Ingermanson books out there, the better. Still, I had Retribution to follow on ... This is an author I will be sure to keep an eye on. I advise you to do the same. | |
