Christian dystopian speculative fiction: Keepers of Men by Eric Martindale

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 18, 2016 by David BergslandMay 18, 2016

This was not a fun book to read for me. First, as old as I am, I would not survive. Second, the immediate future of “civilization” on the Earth in the USA will probably not be pretty. But then God … Continue reading →

Christian Science Fiction: The Shatterworld trilogy by Lelia Rose Foreman

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 2, 2016 by David BergslandMay 2, 2016

This trilogy has Shatterworld, Circumnavigation of Shatterworld, and Pacifists’ War Don’t let the enigmatic nature of the covers or the 12 year old heroine in the first book deter you. These are seriously good novels. The basic plot is an old one: a … Continue reading →

Christian Dystopian Science Fiction: Defier, The Girl Who Stood by Mandy Fender

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 26, 2016 by David BergslandApril 26, 2016

I just gave this a brief review on Amazon: “This was a fun read. It’s a bit predictable, but the twists are interesting. The tale is fun–the good guys and gals are admirable. The scenario is exciting. It’s good Christian … Continue reading →

Christian science fiction: The Coder & The Fixer by Celesta Thiessen

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 3, 2016 by David BergslandJanuary 13, 2017

It’s a limited world, a couple of space ships. But the society is well-crafted, the characters are developed nicely, and the story is compelling. Every book I read by Celesta is better than the last. She’s become an author I … Continue reading →

Prophetic dream urban fantasy review: The Glimpse by Grant Carroll

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 14, 2015 by David BergslandOctober 14, 2015

This is an enjoyable little read for believers. I believe it is meant as a frightening wake up call for mainline church members who are rarely taught how close the end of the Gentile Age is. It’s a fictionalization of … Continue reading →

Christian end-times thriller: Battle Siege, Battle series book 3, by Mark Romang

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 12, 2015 by David BergslandAugust 12, 2015

Mark’s books are great fun to read. This book’s about a post-rapture, dystopian world with strong ties to the Revelation prophecies. Several things happen, and people play roles which go far beyond Biblical possibilities, BUT they are speculatively possible. That’s … Continue reading →

Christian speculative fiction review: The Web Surfer Complete Series by several

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 25, 2015 by David BergslandJuly 25, 2015

OK, I’m confused. Here’s a book of five loosely connected short stories. There are some excellent pieces of inventiveness. some of the writing was good, some was very scattered. But no story was told. The cover is attractive, but it has nothing … Continue reading →
