The Infinite Day

The Lamb Among the Stars #4

by Chris Walley

“Vero, you remember you once said there were people who would follow me to the gates of hell?”

“A figure of speech.”

“We’d better find them. That’s where we’re going.”

After the defeat of the evil Dominion forces at Farholme, Commander Merral D’Avanos prepares a task force to rescue thirty hostages captured by the fleeing Margrave Lezaroth. Merral’s only hope is that he can get to the hostages before they’re taken to Lord-Emperor Nezhuala at the Blade of Night—the nexus of the Dominion’s power. But in order to get there, Merral and his crew will have to survive a perilous trip through Below Space. Meanwhile, news of the Dominion’s defeat at Farholme reaches Ancient Earth but is tempered by the sobering truth of the enemy’s growth and strength. It is now clear that an attack on the Assembly is imminent, but how far should the Assembly go to stop it? And does the real danger lie in the Dominion or in the subtle evil that has arrived at the heart of the Assembly itself? The Infinite Day is the thrilling conclusion to the epic Lamb among the Stars series that has readers and critics raving.

About the author

I was born in Wales in 1954 but grew up in northern England. I studied geology at university, gaining a BSc from Sheffield University and a PhD from University of Wales, Swansea. I taught at the American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon from 1980-84, where I met my wife and where our two boys were born.

From 1984-94, I was based in Swansea, where I was a consultant for the oil industry. I did fieldwork in a number of African and Asian countries and wrote numerous synthesis volumes on the geology of different countries. In the late eighties, I began writing in my spare time. I had two novels, Heart of Stone and Rock of Refuge, published under the pseudonym of John Haworth.

In 1994, I was asked to return to Lebanon to rebuild the Department of Geology at AUB and we were there as a family 1994-98. During that time I managed the department, taught and also did research. I travelled extensively within Lebanon and got to know all the major geological localities very well, partly through interest, and partly through setting innumerable student mapping projects. My wife and I were also involved in setting up a large environmental project in the Bekaa with A Rocha Lebanon.

In 1998, we returned to the UK. Needing to go back to Swansea where there were few geology jobs, and fancying something of a change, I began to make a new career in writing and editing, in particular for the Christian market. I retained my geological interests, in particular in Lebanon/the Middle East, however, and led field trips for Wheaton College, Illinois in the Middle East and the UK.

In September 2004 I started teaching again, at Gower College Swansea (Gorseinon), on the edge of Swansea: geology and environmental science.

My wife and I live in an old cottage on the edge of Swansea and are very much involved in Pantygwydr Baptist church. Our sons, John and Mark, no longer live at home but remain a real blessing to us.

This incredible series is truly a hidden treasure!
After reading the first book of The Lamb Among The Stars series on an e-reader,
I began the quest to find all the books in the series. It took a few months but I was able to
find and purchase the complete series of used books in good condition. I have absolutely loved reading these books and will definitely read them again in the future.
Note: the e-book version of this series is available if you like to read in that format

Excellent series with satisfying ending. Well written and challenging. I love how you really feel for the antagonists too - really emphasises the humanity of the characters. Brilliant set of books.

[Neil · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this was a solid, satisfying, nearly excellent ending to this series. The character development is good throughout the story. Some characters I expected "to turn traitor" did not, which was a bit of a surprise. Others I fully expected to turn and they did. There is action throughout, as well as some crazy situations the author puts the heroes in. I felt there were some moments of intense suspense that the author does a great job of slowly and steadily building up to each moment's climax. He also does a good job of keeping the disparate storylines intact throughout the narrative; at one point, there are something like five or six narratives going on (but the eventually condense to three, then two, then one). I know others have complained he did too much "telling" and not enough "showing," and I can see why they would say that. It did not bother me as much, though; I am not sure why that is the case. The various elements of technology in the book are fun; I felt the author was rather creative in the technology of the future that he created in this fantastical future. I also felt the author did a nice job of inserting humor and horror throughout the story as needed.

The ending was a bit of a surprise. The author gives the reader one of two options on how the book will end. The reader can "stop reading" after the initial "feel good summary" of how events may have gone down. I almost wished I had stopped there, because in that ending, Merral and Anya end up together and live "happily ever after." However, if the reader continues, things become very dark before the light of dawn and Final Return of Jesus to bring His people "home" while banishing those who rejected Him into eternal darkness and damnation. The "darkness" did get pretty dark until "Above-Space" (the Heavenly Realm(s)) descend and reunite with the "natural realm" in which humanity lives.

The final chapter details what happens next to the various members of the story. Merral becomes a forestor who is given his own world to tend in which he will be able to grow his "Castle Trees" and which apparently will become places for people from "the old universe" to live at some future point in time. I did not quite understand the point of that part of Merral's conversation with the King, but that is the gist of how it sounded to me. The author then gives a brief one-two sentence summary of what the other characters are doing, how they are either interacting with other forms of life, tending to the parts of creation put under their responsibility, or designing new elements of beauty on other planets.

I thought it was pretty cool that Betafor was offered salvation as well and it was granted to her, that she became a (the) mother to a "second form of life" (I could not find out the author described her and her offspring, and I forgot to note it as I was finishing things up). The King tells Merral he will have help but not when, so perhaps Anya will spend some of eternity with him as he tends to this new world. Or he will have others who will assist him.

I was somewhat surprised that no mention of his parents was made at the end, how they would be (were) serving the King. Neither is there any mention of Isabella; I could not decide if the author was trying to say she had never been saved or had lost her salvation (based on a conversation between the envoy and Merral on 389), so I was surprised she was not among those listed as serving the Great King somewhere in the new Kingdom.

I thought this book had a substantial amount of theology (theological discussions?) in it, which surprised me as well. In any case, I thought much of what the author wrote helped me with some questions I have had come up lately in terms of answering difficult questions.

It is funny reading this book, too, because of how well the author presents human behavior in this story. Merral, the hero, has some serious feet of clay, as does Vero (and others). However, it is with Merral that I felt like wanting to reach through the pages of the book to grab him and shake him and demand to know why he was making the decisions he was making. Yet, this is so true to life. I am sure there are moments when Yahweh "wants to grab" me "and shake" me while asking me why am I making the decisions I am making. Merral probably has the best-developed character in the book (which makes sense because he is the main character), followed by Vero, Anya, Betafor, and Azeras (in no particular order). I also enjoyed Merral's interactions with the envoy; I would not be surprised to learn that many angels have similar reactions to mankind and how quickly we can go from faith to doubt and despair and back again instead of standing upon the Rock that is Jesus.

There were various moments in the book that I liked quite a bit, that really stood out to me for various reasons. Other moments were just funny.
There is a conversation between Merral and Jorgio on page 24 in which Jorgio talks about how the harvest is coming soon for both weeds and wheat and that Yahweh will sort them out. Merral questions that Yahweh can do this, and Jorgio rebukes him: "Of course the King can. He's in charge, isn't he? Mister Merral, nothing happens without him saying so. He could destroy the Dominion in a moment, just like that" (as he snaps his fingers) "but he doesn't. He uses it for his own purposes." This helps Merral to realize "when things run smoothly, it is easy to believe that the King was in charge," but "when every manner of evil is set loose" and on such a large scale "it seems harder to believe."

Pages 169-172, Merral has another meeting with the envoy. The envoy reminds Merral that evil can never be fully expressed by statistics after Merral asks the envoy how many people were killed. The envoy also reminds Merral there is a difference between power and authority, that while the envoy might have enormous power available to him, he (the envoy) does not have the authority to use it as he pleases. The envoy has an interesting response to Merral's asking whether or not the King "knows the future." The envoy responded "I marvel at your ignorance, which verges on blasphemy. He is the great I AM, the Eternal One who stands outside the fields of time. If he didn't know the future, in what sense would he Lord?" When Merral asks why the King does not reveal the future, the envoy responds, "Because your race cannot handle being told about the future. Such knowledge brings either fear or apathy." When asking if certain individuals are "safe," the envoy points out "none of you are safe. None of your face can find true safety outside the Father's house" and he reminds Merral there are some dangers greater than death. However, as the envoy points out, "it is better to die rightly than live wrongly" and that "no one who shuns death can truly live."

There is a crazy moment between pages 279-282. Actually, from the moment that Merral and the crew of the captured freighter decide to head to the capital system of the Dominion on order to rescue the 30 hostages to when they succeed and escape is crazy. Probably one of the better parts of the book, in my opinion. Especially when they capture a Dominion destroyer and then dock at the Emperor's flying palace (the Blade of Night) to rescue the hostages. Merral offers himself as a sacrificial offering in exchange for the freedom of the hostages and rescue party. The Emperor agrees and then promptly breaks his vow, which allows the envoy to intervene. After the envoy demonstrates the King's power and spares Merral's life, Merral begins to question what has transpired, why the envoy did not take more lives, which earns Merral a severe verbal rebuke from the envoy. "How human! You are delivered and yet you complain! Be warned: to criticize me is to criticize the One who sent me." . . . "You are an ungrateful race. Instead of thanking the Most High for his mercy, you question his will." It is at this point that the Emperor points out how close Merral is to becoming like Lucifer with his questions because of how close he is treading to doubt, arrogance, judgment, and rebellion (my interpretations, here). The envoy follows with "Man! The Most High keeps his own timing and purposes. He does not take kindly to orders. He is, after all, the Lord." And I think this shows the gap in knowledge and understanding that Americans (American Christians) have regarding some of the words used in the Bible, especially "King" and "Lord" and those words mean, the power that was held over a person's life by those in power.

There is a hilarious moment where Merral is running towards his own rearguard but they cannot see him for whatever reason. They yell out "who is it? Identify yourself!" to which Merral first replies "Me!" then, "Lloyd, Vero" (285). What kind of way of identifying yourself is that? Hahahah!

Another funny moment occurs after Azeras sacrifices himself so his new friends on the captured destroyer can escape. The commander of the Dominion destroyer about to fire on the captured warship has two final thoughts before he dies: "I have died honorably" followed by "it wasn't a bluff" (he thought Azeras was playing chicken with the warship and refused to move out of the flightpath of Azera's vessel) (304).

There is a great conversation between Merral and Luke as to why things happen the way they do, why there is evil in the universe (320-321). The only real answer is that we don't know because in this life we are not given the answer. It sucks, but it is the truth. Ultimately, Yahweh either does things or allows things for his glory; light needs darkness to show its glory. Luke points out that perhaps Yahweh withholds the answers we demand to remind us He alone is God and that we can never fully understand "why" on this side of eternity. We are not "God" and we can never fully understand Yahweh as a result.

Another great conversation between Luke and Merral occurs between pages 369-371. Merral believes that Yahweh owes Merral, somehow. Luke reminds Merral that Yahweh loves us before we are saved and He loves us after we are saved; not only that, but He gives us what we do not deserve. We do not have any leverage over Yahweh and neither does He owe us anything. Furthermore, Luke makes a great point when he says, "we make things very hard for God. If he acts, we get mad at him he restricts our freedom. If he doesn't, we get mad at him because he doesn't act. The guy can't win" (320).

Ludovica reminds Merral that redemption is never achieved without loss; there is always some kind of cost involved (375).

Luke again has a conversation with Merral, but this time it is about commanders and giving orders. Luke points out how Merral is expected to give orders to the men and then expects those men to follow the orders (383-384). In some ways, it reminded me of the Centurion's conversation with Jesus about authority as recorded in the Gospels.

There is a painful conversation between the envoy and Merral on 388-390. Merral accuses the envoy of not caring about humanity or lost lives; the envoy disagrees but then points out that the King fully understands what it means to lose a loved one, that He understands loss and grief. When Merral presses further, the envoy states that one rebel of his kind being loose is enough. He also implies that envoys are tested as well, revealing to Merral that the envoy does want to act but will not act out of disobedience to his Lord. The envoy also rebukes humanity indirectly when he tells Merral how humans "recognize evil obviously when it comes as fleets and armies and weapons, but" "overlook less obvious evils that are just as dangerous," how we often "flee from the evil that is seen into the one that is unseen" (389).

At one point, Vero reminds Merral that humanity already put Yahweh on trial, found Him guilty, and executed Him despite His having committed no sins (405). Also, how the only way for all events to be meaningful for humans would be for each human to be God, which is obviously not going to happen (405).

I thought it was hilarious that Merral was giving Lloyd grief about disobeying orders, considering the number of times Merral disobeyed orders himself (411).

Merral has a strong crisis of faith because of the death of two friends and how they died, asking strong questions (ultimately asking how, if God ordained or even allowed such things to happen, can He be a God who can be trusted?) (414). Valid questions that many people ask, that I have asked myself, and are a struggle to resolve. We see a follow-up to this internal struggle in which Vero challenges Merral's attitude. the two have been stranded on a planet for nearly a month. Vero points out that Merral wants God to treat Merral as an equal, to explain everything to Merral and involve Merral in God's decision-making process (424). That is not going to happen. In the end, I think Vero helps "trump" Merral's arguments and questions by pointing out how, even though Merral's objections to and about God are based on Merral's not fully understanding God or God's motives/objectives, Merral is willing to accept the workings of the natural world as well as various levels of technology despite his not fully understanding how either "world" works (426). If we cannot fully understand the natural world or even every aspect of technology, would it not make sense that the Creator is more complex than His creation (426)?

There is a fascinating discussion between Eliza and the envoy (429-432). She acquiesces to her coming death by deleting a file that would expose evil in the Assembly instead of publishing it so that evil is revealed. Her concern is that by deleting the file, she will be acquiescing to evil and supporting it (431). The envoy points out that evil will be judged, but there are times and places it must be allowed to persist for a while before judgment is faced. Because the human viewpoint is defective and we do not see things from God's perspective, humans have a hard time accepting this because we want judgment "now" and not later, when it is God's time/timing.

"Passing a test and being spared from hurt are two different things" (489).

"If the paths of life were clearly marked, we wouldn't walk by faith" (494).

There are some "frustrating" moments at the end, when the book begins winding down before the climactic battle(s). The author describes a series of battles in which either all life was lost or some lives were saved, but they are mentioned "almost in passing" and made me wish he had written possibly some "standalones" that described these events more fully, these moments of sacrifice and bravery and courage and standing strong in the face of evil. It was funny how much I wished he had expounded further upon them, expanding those stories even more. But perhaps it is good that he has not, because I might be disappointed that the telling does not match the "expectations" behind the desire to be told.

As I said at the beginning, the author gives the reader two choices: stop reading "now" for the "lived happily ever after" ending or "read what really happened." Both endings are fine; I do prefer the "they lived happily ever after" a little bit more, but that is only because I wanted Merral and Anya to end up together as a couple. I was not expecting the Blade of Night to have survived, however; that was a bit of a shock that it was not destroyed. It was still a cool idea to use the moon as a giant shield to protect the earth from that second polyvalent fusion bomb they set off. I was not really expecting the Emperor to be Jannify to still be alive, either. That was a bit of a shock.

It was an excellent end to a great series. It is pretty word, and this book is assuredly the longest of the four books. However, it still felt like it was a fast read for me and I did not feel like it dragged at all (well, maybe "that much"; there might have been places it seemed to drag a bit, but they were rare for me). I still love how the author is able to slowly build up levels of suspense to the point I feel like popping and then the means by which a situation is resolved is cleverly and/or wonderfully done. I am glad that I finally got around to reading this series and I am somewhat sad there are no further books to read. In any case, it was a fun read and I could see myself reading it again in the future.

[Megan Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very, very unsure how to rate this. I have... very many thoughts and opinions and I'm absolutely terrible at reigning them in. Especially on a book that covers, like, sci-fi end times? WHAT AN ODD CONCEPT.

Anyway, it was strange. Part of the time I hated it, part of the time I loved it, most of the time I was neutral. (This review kind of covers the series as a whole.) The first book was... pretty blah. It took me over a month to read, and I was confused a lot and bored sometimes. The second book got better, but not tons. It picked up its pace a little, which was good. The conflict also became less focused on internal and more the external, which made things a little more interesting to read. This last was definitely the best, I think. The characters were given much more interest, in general. There was more humor, which seems weird, but that helped it be less, "EVERYTHING IS SCIENCEY AND THEOLOGICAL."

Overall, I just felt like the whole series dragged unnecessarily. There are so many repetitive things, so many long and wordy descriptions and meditations and thoughts and just, wow, so many. There was a LOT of telling and surprisingly little showing. Also, whatever this narrative voice is called, it was not my favorite. So many POVs. So emotionally distancing. Every time I felt myself getting into it, it would switch POVs or change scenes and I could almost physically feel the cutting off. Like standing at the edge of a pool, ready to dive in, and being yanked back by the kid behind you who wants to go first. The only two times I really got super into it was when (*crackling static*) and (*crinkle crinkle*) died.

I'm giving it four stars because of... things. Haha I liked a lot of things about this. I would definitely not reread them. But there were strong points. So yeah, four stars. Also, the way it really pointed out beauty in all the things was cool. And somehow doing that without being poetic? Pretty weird. I liked it, but it didn't connect with me. (Writing style, again.)

Um. I don't have a lot of other things to say right now. Too many thoughts in my head. This is probably the most useless review of all time, so I apologize. I only write these for myself, really. You're welcome.

[Anna Logan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Glad I stuck it out with this series, because all said and done, they have their qualities and are worth a read. But, they have their flaws, too. This book especially I felt was super slow and had a lot of scenes, conversations, details, etc. that I think we could have done without.

Admittedly, I think the biggest struggle I've had with this series is the Christian perspective. I'm a Christian, but I have a more modern, humanistic mindset than the author. I'm willing to admit that I'm probably a little TOO humanistic, but I don't think it would be unfair to say that he's a little too anti-humanistic.

More on the topic of the book itself, I was conflicted about Anya's character arc in this book. (Minor spoiler alert) First off, I felt she wasn't given any redeeming qualities in this last leg of the story--she's depressed and bitter after her sister's death, and suddenly everything she does is wrong and she's constantly trying to prove herself, finally we get to the end of the book and she bashfully confesses that she's been trying to prove she's "good enough" for Merral? That didn't sit right for me. a) Flaws and mistakes are wonderful. But they should be balanced with qualities, and in this book Anya rarely seemed to do anything right. b) Trying to prove she's good enough for Merral...doesn't feel very realistic to me, or maybe it's just my inner feminist springing up. To be fair, though, the rest of the story does a pretty good job of demonstrating men and women in an equal light.

Finally, the ending. (BIG spoiler alert)

So they defeat the bad guys, and basically the second-coming happens--the dead are raised and they all go to heaven (or its equivalent). Personally, I was really looking forward to a thoughtful, maybe bittersweet ending that pays tribute to all they've lost and been through, and shows them coming out the other side, changed but not broken. I wanted to see how they were going to rebuild their crumbling society after evil had seeped in, how, without the threat of war, they were going to adjust to a universe more like ours--both good and bad. So to me, this happily-ever-after ending was a little disappointing. But in and of itself it was good, and it was still a nice ending.

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is spectacular. It has probably had a more profound affect on me than anything else I've read so far. It has directed my thoughts on many things. One subject in particular is that we all must be tested--we all must all experience the refiner's fire. I kept thinking about Job when I read this.
This story builds in it's intensity. Each successive book takes you higher in it's own level of action til you're almost afraid to look down. I love the protagonist. He is so pure that he is incapable at first of believing evil could exist, but when he has to, he finds the strength, and knows where his strength comes from, to fight the evil with everything he has within him. He deplores fame, remaining humble, even when his faith is tested for a time.
His friend, Vero, is all of us. We all have our own temptations to overcome, and are not all successful, but when we fall, God, through Christ, offers us forgiveness time after time.
I have so much I want to say about this book but find it hard to put into words. The only other thing I'd like to say is that I wish this series was better known within the Christian fiction genre. It needs to be recognized as a great work.

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a thrilling story! I loved this volume and thought it was a great conclusion to a great series. Walley clearly grew as a writer as he wrote the series. The story plunges full speed ahead and rarely lets up for a breather.

There are a few episodes that made me scratch my head, but all in all this was a fantastic read. Frankly, I'm glad I'm done with the series as I'll finally be able to get some sleep. These late nights are getting to me.

A great conclusion to a great series. Highly recommended.

[William Albers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy/series, and by this final book I had a hard time putting it down. Although I was somewhat skeptical that the premise of an epic set in a post-millennial world of space travel could be done well, Walley pulled it off quite well. Not only that, but I found myself wanting to be a better person as a result of this story (which is perhaps the highest praise I can give it). I look forward to revisiting these books again down the road.

[Candi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series has been so compelling! Not only is it a great story, but it has made me think differently--more deeply--about spiritual things. I'll have to comb used bookstore for the series so we can add it to our personal bookshelves.

[Richard New · Rating 4 out of 5]

In The Infinite Day by Chris Walley, Book 3 of the Lamb Among the Stars trilogy, the story still plods along. In this reviewer’s opinion, there is too much internal thought from the main character, Commander Merral D’Avanos. There is also too much discussion of ideas, hopes, and plans for upcoming decisions. More direct and immediate action would have greatly improved this series.

However, I adored the inclusion of the maddening indirect direction of the Envoy. Much of the time, he left D’Avanos stymied with frustration about his actions or inactions. Except when D’Avanos knew the Envoy’s actions or statements were a correction delivered from The Most High, that much was evident. Throughout the series, there was the definite idea that, at times, each of us are encouraged to suffer for or with, the Lord. Like, suffering is a purifying step in growing spiritual maturity. Similar to Scriptural teachings of trials and tribulations for Christian believers.

Overall, I’m glad I read the series to the final finish (there are two possible endings). Limited as a human’s mind is, the final ending provided a better and more complete conclusion. Or, a start to something we mortals can’t really fathom.

I highly recommend The Infinite Day. Family friendly, it’s an adventure like nothing I’ve ever read.

[Micah Sharp · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first genuinely good book in the series. The other were alright and I appreciated that they exist but this book was truly enjoyable.
Besides the postmil view pretty much the rest of the theology was spot on. I liked the implicit identification of the false prophet, Antichrist, etc. The confrontation on the Blade was the closest the book got to truly great.
This book’s exploration of evil in a nearly perfect was much more developed and convincing than the first 2/3 books.
The change in voice at a few key turning points was jarring and should have either been used more widely or not at all. It never really got cheesy even at the end which was impressive.
I almost didn’t finish this series but I’m glad it did!

[Roger A Larson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best trilogy I have ever read

Tremendous story with incredible description of other worlds as if you were actually there. At the same time teaches timeless truths of faith and hope in our blessed God and Savior Jesus Christ and the final victory will be ours thru Him.

[Shaun Mcnamara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book wrapped up the series nicely. I still really enjoyed the first two books the most.

[M.G. Bianco · Rating 5 out of 5]

The final book in the trilogy/tetralogy. The war expands to all of the Assembly and Dominion, under the leadership of Merral and others who join him in the fight.

Not much to say, in regards to the writing that hasn't already been said about the first books--in those reviews. You can't read the others and not finish with reading this one, though.

Near the end, the author concludes interestingly, though. He writes that you have reached the end, and that you can close the book knowing these few details, essentially what happened to each of the characters. Or, you can continue reading the final chapter and the epilogue and find out how each of those details is worked out. I read through the end, and thoroughly enjoyed it. While others have told me they hated having read the last chapter and epilogue.

I am curious, though, if there is anyone who did not read the final chapter and epilogue? Is it possible to stop there? Or is the temptation to great not to go on? I suspect the latter. Let me know if you did finish there.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very good ending to the trilogy, though at times the varying point of views were a bit tedious, particularly when there would be a lot going on with Merral's group and then the next chapter would focus on Ethan on Earth for instance. That being said, it was fascinating to see things from the Dominion's side. The ending was perfect, though I don't want to spoil it, but it was a good ending that gave a happy sense of closure.
The characterization was greatly improved as well, as it's a bit sketchy in the first book, though I must say I still never completely loved the main characters, though I greatly enjoyed, Loyd, Luke, and Azeras.
I recommend anyone struggling to get through the first book to stick it out; it get's better.

[C.J. Darlington · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some trilogies fizzle out in the third installment. Some leave you feeling depressed. The Infinite Day does neither. A fantastic conclusion to this awesome trilogy. I found myself moved close to tears during the final pages, and that's saying something as I'm not a crier when reading books. Spiritually poignant, rich in detail, and a page turner to boot, The Lamb Among the Stars series have the potential to become classics. If you enjoy Kathy Tyers and Karen Hancock's sci-fi, you'll enjoy Chris Walley.

[Jeremy Gould · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third Book in the Lamb Among The Stars Trilogy. Read It. If you like Sci-fi, if you like Narnia/Lord of the Rings style, you will like this. You will like this regardless. I found myself being convicted of things that might be so trivial in our day. I found myself very close to the end wondering "how is this going to get all tied up?". The action isn't over until the last page. I think the ending was the only part of this series I didn't enjoy as thoroughly as the rest. Given the Material already written about the events that take place, I thought the ending could have been better.

[Taneil · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow! Out of the entire series, The Infinite Day was definitely my favorite! The characters were incredibly dynamic, and the real ending was unimaginably glorious, just as the author said it would be. I don't know what my future is, but having it end like the end of that book, only infinitely times better, would be mind-bogglingly (okay, I think I just made that word up) wonderful! I loved this book!

[Mark A Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

The conclusion to the Lamb Among the Stars trilogy finds Merral D'Avanos fighting against the evil Dominion, who are blazing a destructive path straight toward Earth. But enemies within the Assembly and doubts in D’Avanos’ mind threaten to crush the Assembly before the first shot is fired. These tensions are developed nicely and, while not perfect, this story provides a superb ending to an amazing saga. Ending well can be difficult, but not in this case.

[Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The grand finale of history. I loved this happy ending, which happens in the days after Christs' return and dwelling on the earth.

Absolutely one of the best ever read! It belongs in my lifetime top 10, and no, I am not exaggerating! I have now finished the series and can't recommend it enough to any sf lover...

Great conclusion. I don't rate it as high as the others because I find that the ending wasn't biblically accurate with the end time prophesies of Revelations and Daniel.
