Other than the publisher and some miscellaneous references to God and prayer, I would not have known that this was a Christian book. Yes, it was a “clean” read as far as language is concerned, but there was a lot of violence, so just be prepared for it. The premise is that a man calling himself The Conductor has taken over a small college town and is wreaking havoc commanding people to do things because he controls their “string.” He either has family members or loved ones in imminent danger or he has blackmail to use. Without giving too much away, I will say that this book reads more like a Dean Koontz thriller than any Christian thriller that I have ever read. That is not to say that it is not a good book because it is. It moves very quickly with characters that are either definitely good guys or definitely under the control of The Conductor. The explosive ending finally reveals who he is although the reason for his revenge is exposed earlier in the book. Fans of thrillers will enjoy this book, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea because of the violence or implied threat of violence that is prevalent.
