Asylum is the first book a new series by Adrian Essigmann and its one which starts another action pack adventure. The book takes an interesting look at several topics not often dealt with in Christian fiction, specifically time travel and how and what effects that might have on history and the history to come.
It is also an interesting take on the common Christian genre of End-Time literature, but it is an honestly fresh experience. Unlike many of the other books on the market, this is one doesn’t stick to the same plan. It doesn’t pull from the Left Behind formula and doesn’t retread some of the Apocalyptic formulas so often seen.
Even though the book is set in an alternative present day, the glimpses we get of the future are an interesting peak and give ideas that we don’t often see. Why does the world clamor for the Beast who is to come? What can he offer that any other world leader hasn’t tried? The glimpses that Mr. Essignman gives are interesting and somewhat unique.
Asylum is like many of author’s works, filled with action and moving from one scene to the next quickly, not that one gets lost, but at the same time, quick enough that you never feel bogged down. His descriptions future technology and even what might be achieve are interesting and clearly places this work as a sci-fi, an interesting sci-fi.
As always, Mr. Essigmann also takes time not just to tell an action packed story, but one which is infused with theological ideas and is quite specifically a Christian and biblical based worldview. Although that’s not to say all the characters in the book are saved, or that they all magically find Jesus, rather it is a more realistic view that while the main character and others certainly hold Christ close and witness and show an importance in that, that in life not everyone accepts that message.
This book at least to me appears to have been one of his shorter works, still a great read and certainly makes me want to pick up the next book in the series as soon as I can.
I certainly highly recommend this book and hope that author continues to write books that while holding to high biblical standard continue to push the limit on what often passes as Christian literature.
