Dr. Robert Don Hughes (born 1949), is an American educator and writer, author of both mainstream fantasy and science fiction and evangelical non-fiction. Born within a mile of the beach in California, he now teaches missions, evangelism, world religions and apologetics at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College in Pineville, Kentucky. He spent two terms as a missionary in Africa, first in Zambia and then Nigeria. He regularly assists churches as interim pastor or revival leader. He’s better known on the Internet as the author of such fantasy and science fiction novels as The Prophet of Lamath and The Eternity Gene.
Not as well-written as The Fallen and much more didactic. Meshes nicely with narrative of the first book, but too much exposition and not enough story.
Found it a little convoluted and strong on religion. It was fun seeing what was going to happen to him and how he got out of it. It would take a strong person to endure all these events, so if you have religion to get you through, it works for the story.
