Merciless by Robin Parrish

This last book in the Dominion trilogy was my favorite (though the darkest) by far. I'm a fan of superheros and have always secretly wished I possessed a special power of some sort, (admit it so have you) so it was fun to read about ordinary people who became superheros. All three books deal with prophesy, but not Biblical prophesy. I enjoyed the conspiracy type plot and the fact that not everything was given to the reader on a silver platter. Robin kept me reading because I wanted to know what would happen next. There was a lot of violence in this book - it made me think about how so many people live in the middle east and throughout the world without the safety and security we enjoy in the United States.

My favorite part of the book is a wrestling match (never thought I would say that), but I can't tell you who was involved or why - don't want to spoil your fun. It made me look closer at my own motivations and why I do what I do in many areas of my life. This book can entertain and challenge.

FROM THE EARTH’S DEPTHS
CRAWLS A FIGURE WITH SKIN LIKE
GRANITE, FLAMES FOR EYES,
AND THE FACE OF GRANT BORROWS.

OBLIVION HAS
ARRIVED.

Every clock around the world has stopped.
Time has frozen.

The Secretum have fulfilled the prophecy,
unleashing on earth the most powerful being
to walk the earth in thousands of years. His
name is Oblivion and his touch is death.

He can’t be slowed.

He can’t be stopped.

And he can’t be killed.

But as long as any live who trust in hope and
love and freedom, the fight is not over.

THEY HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE
BEFORE HE BRINGS FORTH THE
DARKWORLD.

OBLIVION IS:
MERCILESS

Chapters 1-3 Excerpt

I recently read that Robin Parrish is working on a stand-alone story currently titled OFFWORLD. After that book he is planning a supernatural thriller that he says, "might just be the best idea I’ve ever had." I am anxiously waiting for his new books.

Fearless by Robin Parrish

This fast paced book is one most of my friends wouldn't read, but I enjoy reading edgy Christian fiction that makes you think and work to find the underlying message. Robin Parrish has a writing style that reminds me of the more recent books written by Ted Dekker. If you want a book that forces you to dig deep then this book is for you. There is violence in the book, but nothing worse than you would see on prime-time TV. If you enjoy trying to figure things out and trying to solve the mystery or put the pieces together this book will not disappoint.

THE WORLD CHANGED
AFTER THAT TERRIBLE DAY
WHEN THE SKY BURNED,
AND NOW EVERY HEART IS
GRIPPED BY FEAR
Earthquakes, fire, disease, and floods pummel the earth, and its citizens watch in horror.

But in the darkness there is hope – an anonymous but powerful hero whom the public dubs "Guardian" emerges from the wreckage. He is Grant Borrows, one of a chosen few who walk the earth with extraordinary powers. They travel the globe, helping those in deepest peril and determined to uncover the secret behind this world-shattering cataclysm.

But when signs of dangerous ancient prophecy begin coming true, dark questions arise about secrets Grant might still be harboring.

THE WORLD TEETERS
ON THE BRINK.
BUT SOME REFUSE
TO LET IT FALL.

FEARLESS
Questions and Answers with Robin Parrish

Relentless by Robin Parrish

Wow! I used spend time watching espionage-double agent TV series and this book tops them all and leaves out the love scenes and provocative clothing. If you enjoyed reading some of Ted Dekker's newer works you should enjoy Robin's writing style too. There is a Christian message buried deep within the book. I think readers who enjoy suspense will like this book regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.

Front Book Jacket says:

In the space of a breath, what he thought was his life... SHATTERED.

Grant Borrows has been Shifted--in the silence between heartbeats, his whole life fundamentally altered. There's another man in the world wearing his face and living his life. What's more, the man staring back from his mirror is a stranger.

But the changes don't stop at skin-level. Inexplicably, he's able to affect objects around him by simply thinking about them. And as he soon learns, he's become the central figure in a vast web of intrigue that stretches from an underground global conspiracy to a prophecy dating back over seven thousand years. Enemies and allies find him at every turn, but one thing they learn all too soon is that you don't want to push Grant Borrows too far...

CAN DESTINY BE UNDONE?

THE PLAYERS ARE READY.
THE GAME IS IN MOTION.
AND THE PACE IS:

RELENTLESS.

If you like to read books jammed with action, suspense, and more find a copy of this book. I now have the second book in the series on hold at my library and can't wait to get started. The neat thing about finding out about a series at the end is that I don't have to wait a year between books. To learn more about Robin Parrish and his books check his website.
