This is probably one of my all time favorite books. I really like Mr. Burketts style of writeing. I have read sevral other boooks that have a simalar storyline but they dont even compair ! Even though the very idea of the world he describes is depresing he shows the hope that WILL come. I cant say enough good about this book , you will just have to read it your self ! :D
I read this as a teen and I remember liking it. Reread it now and not so much. Since my teenage years I’ve left the faith and spent quite a bit of time looking into Christian indoctrination and I find this book blatantly full of it. There are Christians who believe and who are good people who genuinely work for the good of others and can see the good in others. Then there are those who see the world outside of faith as a step away from hell. Where being a Christian puts a mark in their back. This book is the latter. Usually calling the other side of an argument hitler or demon filled is hyperbole. In this story it’s clearly stated that both statements are true. Despite the strong lip service for being for the Jews the religious Jews are called zealots and there is the myth of the greedy Jews brought up. All the female characters spend their time crying, being kidnapped, hiding or screwing up. Those are the ones on the protagonist’s side. The other side’s women are worse. It’s also interesting to see quite a bit of what is now Qanon conspiracy ideas being spouted 25 years before. The writing is possible but not great and at times felt like a drag
