Charlie Madison is a burned out Special Forces Agent and his world is about to be turned upside down. When his 13-year-old niece barges into his reclusive life, Charlie must come out of retirement to rescue her parents and a computer Program that has recorded the actual Voice of God--the implications of which have shaken the world's religions to their core. Together, with the help of the attractive and mysterious Lisa Harmon, Charlie and his niece circle the globe, tracking down the religious radicals who have kidnapped his sister and brother-in-law. But, there is far more at stake than the safety of the parents or even religion. If the Voice of God created reality, It can destroy it. If controlled, It would become a weapon of mass destruction making all others obsolete. Soon the trio not only fights against various religious powers, but major governments as well . . . until the Program is discovered and played back with unimaginable results.… (more)

The unique premise sets up a plot full of twists and turns--and opportunities to reflect on the power of God's voice. What if a team of scientists developed a program that could "play back" the very voice of God as it is "recorded" on stones found where He is known to have spoken in the past. That program is what brings Jazmin to the doorstep of her "Uncle Charlie"--with a bevy of gunman hot on her heels. They want the program and it's inherent power, which they believe will threaten their religious beliefs. Jazmin explains to Charlie that her parents have been kidnapped and that she needs his help to find them--and to protect her and the program. Charlie, tortured by the death of his own family, agrees to help his niece and thus they start a game of "cat a mouse" that takes them around the world.
Myers is known for combining wild speculations with energizing plots to create thrillers that entertain and also make the reader think about Christian themes. Here does it once again, with scenes depicting power of God's voice that challenge the reader to think about what would really happen if we truly knew the power behind the voice of God. Read The Voice for a thought provoking thrill ride, and if this type of Christian Fiction appeals to you be sure to check out Bill Myer's other books. ( )

This Christian science fiction is not written for the squeamish; rather, it's for those who love action-packed novels that read like action-packed movies. There are plenty of shots fired, explosions, people tortured, fist fights, and car chases. In fact, it begins at such an eye-blinking speed that this reader had a tough time hanging on.

Imagine God's voice print captured in molten rocks. What do the various religions and world powers do to possess the mathematical formula/technological program that will release it from those rocks? Talk about a weapon of mass destruction! Whatever you believe or don't believe, this premise will get you thinking.

Characters are believable from the eye-rolling Jazmin and her Uncle Charlie, a former Special Operations agent to Lisa, a FBI agent who refuses to go along with the flow. The author personifies Charlie's pent-up anger quite well. The setting moves from California to Switzerland to Egypt.

If you appreciate a fast-paced thriller, this one's for you. ( )
