This exciting narrative will definitely appeal to the teen scene, I believe. There's lots of action involved, twists, turns, secrets, fright, flight and fight, and so much more. As this chronicle is Christian faith-based, Elyon features in the lives of some of the characters. I like that the author has given good simulation of spiritual warfare enabling the abstract to become more concrete in the readers' mind. Some of the characters doubt the existence and care of Elyon furthering the believable aura eminating from the pages. Other added lure is the historical aspect with references to the Battle of Hong Kong and associated persons from the past. That the setting is an Asian one is an extra clincher for me liking this story, with action mostly in and around Hong Kong and some in the Philippines. The fact that the author spent many of his growing up years in these areas is gratifiying, adding authenticity to his work that he knows what he's talking about.
I hope to meet Jack, Tim, Vince, Emma, Amina and Will, and other Beacon Hill students in subsequent sequel because I'm left wondering when and where they'll show up next and what will happen with Eden's Star. Curiosity is killing this 'cat'.
I give this book a 5 Star clap.
