*Reviewed on this blog.

Special congratulations to Kirk Outerbridge and Marcher Lord Press for entertaining me with cyborg, sci-fi, fantasy? Very hard to do.

I’m so glad to see Terri Blackstock win with Intervention. Genuine suspense. A very well done novel.

Continue to watch over and lead your writers, Lord. Let us all take to heart that it’s not about us. It’s all about you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
