Myth and the kids live with a six-year-old Werewolf. The little girl has programming from making simple homemade bombs to poisoning city water supplies. So far she has not reactivated, but is it merely a matter of time before she does? Besides having the enemy dormant among them, Myth has to face losing his technological advantage. Without it the Unity will crush him if they find him. Then Myth learns something that changes everything. Someone else has come back in time and he has plans for the world. With the technology the other traveler possesses he will probably succeed in world domination if left unchecked. Surrounded by enemies Myth launches a desperate gambit to repower MAX with some unlikely allies...two Unity Werewolves.
We are now at the third book of the Asylum series, Werewolves. The writer continues to write a story of people from a future in which the Antichrist rules having come to the past. Like the other entries in the series this is a quick, action packed read. Myth and the gang are still trying to understand what is going on and now questions are being asked that might not usually be asked by time travel stories. They are not all answered yet and whether they are answered in total or not doesn't matter, because in many ways its enough to know that Mr. Essignmann is thinking about them and by having the character ask them allows the reader to ponder them as well.
The author introduces us with a couple of new characters, but he does a good job of explaining and helping us to understand the Werewolves. The writer also continues to explore other sci-fi elements and deals with subject such as cloning and messing with DNA. In many ways it is refreshing to see subjects such as these given a Christian perspective and so it is nice to see them here.
As always Mr. Essignmann continues to provide a thoroughly Christian backdrop and despite all the sci-fi craziness we still see simple themes pop up, the importance of church, forgiveness, and how our actions affect others. Other questions are asked and pondered that are equally important to at least think about. How does one deal with persecution and are those outside the harsher persecutions any less Christian? That many of these questions are pondered by younger people, help to give raw answers, or even makes it feel more legitimate when they simply don't know what to think or do.
I continue to be impressed with the writers ability to write action scenes and to write stories outside of the Christian mainstream, but never departing from Christian orthodoxy. Some of it may speculative, but that's fine, that's half the point of a good story.
I'll certainly be ready to see what book four of the Asylum series is about.
