Who's Afraid of the Judgment?: The Good News About Christ's Work in Heavenly Sanctuary
The judgment. Most Christians don?t understand it. Others ignore it or cringe in terror because of it.
Who?s Afraid of the Judgment? by Roy Gane, takes a fresh look at the book of Daniel and shows how God?s character is vindicated in the judgment. It also shows the relationship between the gospel and the judgment, what difference the judgment makes in our lives as Christians, and answers many objections being raised today over 1844 and the ?little horn.?

Read the Spanish edition.
I don't know if it's the translation or the argumentation. But I felt it loose and contradictory. At some points he would deny the opposite arguments explaining, for example, that the desolation of abomination was future to Antiochus because Jesus mentions it but also mention that when the Christian saw the signal of the abomination in 70 C.E they ran from Jerusalem and saved their life(what was prior to the establishment of the papacy), breaking therefore the point.
Probably the issue is in the fact that this is a resume of a deeper and dense argumentation. I'll try to go to the real argumentation to see if it clarify the things better.
There's a difficulty, the passage doesn't helps at all haha, on link the investigatory judgement with the little horn's judgemnt.
What I liked is a whole bunch of new insights on the atonement day and the use of the investigatory judgement not as walls of separation between Adventists and the Christian world but a call to unity in the whole church to serve God, follow His commandments and serve the humanity in love.
What I didn't see, however, is any reason for the doctrine since it brings nothing but a second emphasis on doing the same thing that was done before. This solapes the in great part the relevance of the doctrine.
It was, however, better than I expected. Gane seems to be a sharp guy in many things and has some good insights. I'm excited to enter on the true debate and see how the arguments are presented and made sense in depth.
