Cain by James Byron Huggins
When the CIA took Cain's lifeless body from the ground, they intended to create the perfect soldier. Piece by piece, they rebuilt his soulless flesh and transformed it. A team of scientists outfitted him with the most powerful muscles and the deadliest weapons that the generals could ever have wished for. Alive, Cain had been their deadliest killer; dead, he became their greatest nightmare. When Cain awakes, he is he has become the ultimate predator. His body is now inhabited by a spirit that's been wandering the earth for millennia - one of the crown princes of hell. The only force that can stop him is made up of three tragically flawed mortals - a soldier who's lost his family to a terrorist's bullets, a priest who's lost his faith, and the beautiful young scientist who created this modern Frankenstein. Together, though, they form an unstoppable team who will fight the forces of hell itself to save themselves and humankind.

About the author
James Byron Huggins
28 books221 followersA veteran novelist and best-selling author, James Byron Huggins' life story reads more like fiction than fact. His career as a writer began normally enough. He received a bachelor's degree in journalism and English from Troy State University, and then worked as a reporter for the Hartselle Enquirer in Hartselle, Alabama.
Huggins won seven awards while with the newspaper before leaving journalism in 1985. With a desire to help persecuted Christians in eastern Europe, Huggins moved to Texas to work in conjunction with members of the Christian underground in that region.
From the Texas base, Huggins helped set up a system used to smuggle information in and out of Iron Curtain countries.
In 1987, Huggins was finally able to leave the United States to offer hands-on assistance in Romania. As a jack of all trades, Huggins photographed a secret police installation, took photos of people active in the Christian underground, and also continued his work as an orchestrator of smuggling routes.
Huggins was instrumental in smuggling out film and documentation that showed the plight of Christians in Romania. He even found time to create a code that allowed communication with the United States. As in Texas, Huggins' life had few creature comforts. To survive, he would often remain hidden in the woods or in secure basements for days at a time.
After his time in Romania, Huggins returned to the United States and took up journalism once more. He again worked for a small newspaper and won several awards as a reporter. Later on, he worked at a nonprofit Christian magazine before becoming a patrolman with the Huntsville Police Department in Huntsville, Alabama.
After distinguished service as a decorated field officer, Huggins left the force to pursue writing novels. His first three novels--A Wolf Story, The Reckoning, and Leviathan--achieved best-seller status in the Christian marketplace.
From there, Huggins broke into mainstream science fiction with Cain and Hunter, both of which were optioned for film rights. Huggins then released Rora, a historical novel depicting the harrowing life of a European martyr. His following book, Nightbringer, was met with critical acclaim and is in production for a movie.

Another great action thriller by James Byron Huggins. An ustoppable dead CIA agent is the threat...plus the virus he carries in his body. Can an ex-agent redeemn himself by stopping Cain? A great science has gone terribly wrong plot.......Huggins is good at these. Sometimes over the top in action, but that is what I love about these types of thrillers. Not like Jason Bourne, because after all we are dealing with bringing a dead CIA agent back to life. So take that plotline and go with the flow. Bruce Willis bought the rights to this story. Oh yeah, I can see him playing Solomon.

I've got several friends who really loved this book. I thought there were some good things about it but I didn't find it as engrossing as I had hoped. The writing is interesting, way over the top but I don't mind that. The characters are well drawn and the overall plot is interesting. I won't give the plot away other than to say it is a battle between good and evil, very much in the Christian sense of those words.
My main issue with the book was that it's just incredibly long, almost 500 pages, and I believe it could have been cut by a couple of hundred pages and would have been much more compelling. Although blurbed as a "page-turner," I actually thought it was fairly slow. There's nothing particularly wrong with that, but I wasn't expecting it. There are numerous long sections on philosophy and religion that, I felt, could have been shortened. To be fair, there are also long sections of over the top violent action.
The ending is satisfying. There's good emotional closure. Perhaps you'll enjoy it more than I did.

I've probably read this book a dozen times. Whenever I need to kill time, or want some familiar story, out it comes. Some of the basic ideas are out there, the idea of a soul possession takes some suspension of disbelief, but it is a great, fast read. When I learned the author was a screenwriter, it made sense, because I could really see the story as a movie or a bunch of set pieces as I read.

Oh man this story was great as a kid. Its a sci-fi/pseudo-christian religious thriller that centers around a modern day golem inhabited by the very devil himself. A cliche beginning of the millitary wanting to create a super-soldier, but with a twist of the devil inhabiting said super-soldier through the mythology of the golem legend in Jewish teachings. The main character, Solomon, is tasked with locating and destroying this beast with help from some great characters along the way.
Action, suspense, thriller, and a bit of horror. Read now.

I picked this one up at random in a used bookstore and it was one of my favorite finds of all time. The story is action packed, the characters are well put together, the story flows. It's not terribly original, but the execution is amazing.
It's a quick read, fast-paced and a lot of fun. If you're looking for depth and symbolism and the meaning of life, you're probably in the wrong place. But if you want to have a fun afternoon read, this is the place.

While it’s very much a 90s book, I found it to be an enjoyable story. I do think it was leaning into being more of a structure that would be better in a movie (as there’s more focus on action instead of taking advantage of what a book can offer for thoughts/emotions), but it does use the multiple POV chapters to give the story a faster pace than would normally be seen with chapters of this length.
Recommended 13+ for violence, language, romance, and other things I may have missed.
(Shoutout to another coworker for recommending this. One of your recs down, a million more to go lol.)

CAIN is the best action film never yet made. Special Forces heroes; ancient curses; bio-mechanical mad science; evil cults. And a story of redemption and TRUE WUV! Well, maybe not that last one so much. Who could ask for more?

A Christian Frankenstein? (2 stars)
“Cain” is the book which established Huggins in mainstream fiction and was later developed into a movie. It follows the formula he began with novels like “Leviathan”, where scientific experimentation unleashes a super-human creature hell-bent on destroying the world. In this case, the scientific meddling has resulted in Cain, a virtually indestructible super-soldier with an unquenchable thirst for human blood. Cain is especially after the blood of Amy, a young girl whose blood he needs for an occultic ritual that will guarantee his complete supremacy. Like “Leviathan”, Cain’s hunters are faced with an ultimatum – they must kill the unkillable within ten days, or else he will destroy the world. Cain was the first murderer, and he threatens to be the last (p45). What to expect:
1. Action thriller. The novel starts with a bang, and rarely slows down. Huggins has a style that leaves your heart pounding, and you’ll find yourself racing over words and through pages. The roller-coaster ride of action never lets up. Only one problem: expect the same scenery. The “terrible roar” of Cain and the “hate-filled rage” of his hunters rapidly wears thin after the umpteenth time. While the action is fast and furious, the battles become rather repetitive and tiresome, and are marked by episodes that defy credibility. Also be warned that the extent of blood and gore is unsuitable for children.
2. Apocalyptic themes. Unlike most thrillers, Huggins clearly works with deeper themes. There is a clear and cosmic conflict between good and evil, a picture of the conflict between God and Satan. Cain is no ordinary super-human, because his body has no human soul but is inhabited by Satan himself, who allies himself with various occultic associates. Over against Cain is the soldier Soloman, whom Huggins identifies in the line of king David, and representative of the God’s kingdom. Both David and Soloman are shadows of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Christ Himself. Because “the Nazarene” (Christ) has already defeated Satan once, Cain/Satan is eager to exact vengeance. Huggins clearly intends the conflict against Cain to be a spiritual picture of the great struggle against Satanic evil (p.40,55). “The present, if we are to survive at all, must mirror the oncoming final conflict between God and Satan.” (p114) The battle against Cain is ultimately a microcosm of the great and last battle between Christ and Satan, as Huggins reveals in the acknowledgements: “I have done my best to capture what we cannot see – the heart of an eternal war, if it be true, between the two most powerful beings in the cosmos.” In this war Soloman and the Catholic priest Marcelle are Messianic figures, Marcelle in Christ-like fashion sacrificing his own life for the sake of victory.
However, it is doubtful whether Huggins is successful in his depiction of spiritual war. The spiritual war that the Bible speaks of is a very real war involving true Christians, whereas Huggin’s protagonists are far from that. Moreover, Huggins cheapens spiritual war, turning it into a techno-thriller combat movie with repeated bloody battles between thugs and goons. It is more like cheap Hollywood violence than a serious treatment of spiritual war. But the real war against Satan is not like Hollywood’s entertaining blood and gore. Admittedly Huggins has developed as a writer since his earlier novels, and his characters are more developed. But this doesn’t detract from his fatal flaw: this is more in the style of Hollywood than in the style of heaven and hell, more about Rambo than about religion.
Whatever religious meaning the novel does have to offer is further undermined by the stream of hate and curses unleashed by its heroes, the surprisingly frequent instances of blasphemy and unnecessary oaths, and the overdose of murderous hate. Consider these brief excerpts: “Stumbling, he cursed savagely as he tripped backwards over a small golden couch. And Cain roared in laughter, horrific bestial fangs violently exploding from his jaws like prehistoric tusks. The hellish mirth made his face fiendish, fangs hurling back the light with an ultimate killing wrath.” (p.141) “With a curse, Soloman leaped the hood of a car and went into the stairwell, expecting to be hit instantly. But he didn’t give a damn because he was in a hot mode to kill anything that got in his way regardless of what happened to him in return.” (p.336) “Heated, on fire with killing rage, Soloman slammed six fresh rounds into the shotgun, cursing as he racked it…” (p.357). It’s not hard to see why Hollywood finds it an attractive book to make into a movie. That fact alone should make sincere Christians suspicious. It’s more about the glorification of violence as a form of entertainment than it is about a serious message. In fact, the focus on murderous rage violates the sixth commandment, and doesn’t fit the Scriptural standard for what Christians should be thinking about (Phil. 4:8). Using apocalyptic themes doesn’t justify joining Hollywood in violating the sixth commandment.
In the end, I felt that I was reading a formulaic script for a Hollywood Frankenstein movie, rather than a Christian thriller novel. That a serious spiritual message can be communicated to fans of violence is highly doubtful. They are too busy giving kudos to Hollywood’s blood and gore to take home any truth about heaven and hell. As long as people identify the real Satan with a warped scientific Frankenstein, they remain blind to Satan’s very real supernatural threat to today’s world. Sorry James Byron Huggins, but this is the last of your books I’ll be reading. Not recommended.

I read this book twice and it was just as good the second time through. It had the vilest character I have read ever and very well done. The writing style is excellent, intense. If you like suspense and strange story lines, then you will find this a griping page turner.

Actually, I found it to be 5+ stars!!
Cain by James Byron Huggins is a superbly written, action packed, dealing with the devil story. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. First, when I started to read this, undead superhuman, uh, super soldier, it automatically made me think of movies that had a similar theme. But when I really got into the story, I realized that was just a theme, not the story. The story was so well put together, and Cain, though he was possessed, was a magnetic and determined character. Cain is absolutely thrilling! A definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it down. The thrills and intrigue is written clearly and the characterizations are engrossing. It was unpredictable (my favorite kind of story), and the fate of humanity relied on the failure of Cain. The author's technique of raw, dramatic characters and great plotlines is a gift. It's a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. Wow! Cain is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author

I don’t normally write reviews. However, for this one, I really liked the story but felt it had one major flaw that I couldn’t get past. It was a plot device to advance the story but not developed well enough to make sense. This won’t be a diatribe breaking down all aspects of the story. As I read the book and the plot advanced, I would have liked for rationale of the daughter as central to the story to be more explored. Not to give anything away, there was fairly detailed medical and science reasons (that sounded good to me anyway) for being able to do what was done. When it came to the daughter’s part, there was only two or three lines of explanation that didn’t explain anything. Therefore, as I continued reading this story, I kept asking myself - “Why her?” This lacking piece of information kept me from giving way to the story completely and rating the book higher.

Cain is a superhuman/ rebuilt human being. One scientist with the backing of the US Army decides to create a super soldier. But there is something wrong. He has been injected with one of the deadliest viruses known to man - yet his body does not react to the poison. The army wanted the ultimate weapon. What they got was pure evil. It will be left to one person to deal with the destruction that has been unleashed...
Interesting read, and one that will keep you enthralled from the first page. This was my first book from James Huggins, but I will definitely look into more!
Thank you to Adam at WildBlue Press for the E-copy of the book!

Like an action B movie
Cain has been my least favorite Huggins novel. While it has a good plot premise and is chock full of nonstop action, the writing is on par with a B movie. Lots of melodramatic dialogue and chapter ending one-liners. I would have liked more backstory about Cain before the experiment. Having made these comments, however, this would have made a good B movie.

I first read this book many years ago and lost the book when i left home, I brought it again as i like the story so much.
On a more recent note it was the first book i got on audible, however i really dont recommend the audiobook version. The narrator has a real thick American accent and puts small effort into voicing different people.
The story without spoiliers turns in to a very good, good vs evil battle with mystery thrown in. This is still one of my favourite written books.

I don’t know how anyone could give it less than five stars. Still an all-time favorite of mine. I had the joy of doing a book report in the fourth grade, and I picked this at my school. We had to draw out the characters. My teacher and class were astonished by it. But were entertained of my enthusiasm for it. (Sighs.) When the world was much more bolder, and less cucked. Thanks for the entertainment, sir. :) I hope to one day inspire those as much as your writings have done for me.

If you want a book to escape from the every day hustle and bustle, here it is! This is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning until the end! It is very well written and keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. All I can say is WOW!! Thank you WildBluePress for the free copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.
February 14, 2019
Hated to put it down! Kept me entralled throughout the story and even though it was fast paced it didn't feel like each scene was passing by too fast. Details were great and left me with playing out a movie in my head as I was reading and imagining what was coming next. Very suspensful and look forward to reading more from Huggins.

Wildly exciting, heart-stopping action, must read novel
All of the above and then some. Incredibly complex characters are the hallmark of this author. Non-stop action that makes you hold your breath. Heroes that are human, flawed, at times sad, conflicted with a storyline that never disappoints. I look forward to his next book. Do not miss any of this author's novels.

This page turner is filled with adrenaline rushing action, covert twisted government machinations and heroic but tragic characters that will have you admiring their quite and underestimated resolve. An ancient dichotomy meets modern day resoluteness from unexpected places. Diabolical straight out the gate, but benevolence answers the call.
