Definitely not an edge on your seat thriller. More of a devastating story for a family shielded in secrets. After surviving the war and thought dead, Pete Banning returns to his Mississippi Cotton estate to his wife and family and ends up killing the local preacher who gave comfort to his family during his absence. He gave no defense for his actions and would give no motive. As a reader, it was obvious the reason for his actions, but was it? The secret would go to his grave with him. For his children left behind, losing their family farm inheritance along with their parents finding the answers to the family's demise was not what they ever could have imagined. The story of Pete and his fellow soldiers suffering during the war and the depiction of the horrific scenes of the Bataan Death March were truly hard to read and made the tragedy after Pete's return from the war even more heartbreaking. ** All other reviews included here appear to be about another book?

This is the third book in the Quantum Prophecy series. Danny has lost his arm in battle and refuses to take a mechanical arm fearing the the prophecy will come true and he will lead an army that will destroy humanity. Colin has become so powerful that he feels the pressure of the survival of the world on his shoulders. Will his resentment lead him to the enemy? Will he help destroy the world. Read The Reckoning to find the answers. This is a great third book in this series, but at the end I was left wondering if there were more books in this series. ( )

Wow,what a great book!! This series is getting better and better. I read this in about a day, I couldn't put it down.

The third installment of The Quantum Prophecy pick up where the second book leaves off. Colin is now fight WITH the Trupoians (sp) and against his old friends. I really don't want to say to much more than that, but if you read the first two, then you know what to expect in the third book. I LOVED how this book ended. It's going to be a long time until next summer when the 4th books comes out.

This is such a great series to read. It has a lot of action, and great characters, and a lot of plot twists. This is one series you have to read in order because all of the books end in cliffhangers, and you can't wait for the one to come out.

There is only one reason why I didn't give this book 5 starts. The language. It's not worse then a PG movie, but the language didn't need to be there. If it wasn't in there, you wouldn't miss anything.

If you start this series, you wont' be sorry. ( )
