For fans of Christian fiction (although that is an admittedly
ambiguous label), the teaming up of heavyweights Dekker and
Peretti held tremendous promise. The hype, however, was not
lived up to. What starts as a promising thriller quickly
devolves into cliché-ridden genre stereotypes they would have
been wise to avoid. Although it was obvious that the
supernatural was going to flavor their work, it nearly hijacks
it and only their strength as writers salvages the story.
