Extreme Speculative Christian – The Chronicles of the Sons of None

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on November 1, 2017 by David BergslandNovember 1, 2017

Extreme Speculative Christian • The Chronicles of the Sons of None blows the walls off the category—not! Like many books in the category, speculation rules and Biblical is left far behind. As a promoter of redemptive fiction, I hate to … Continue reading →

The Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 27, 2017 by David BergslandJune 27, 2017

Importantly, the Pre-Christian Kinsmans Tree contains truth in enough measure to work well. This fantasy of a unique world at times seems to be allegorical Genesis. And, then again it’s pure fantasy. The Kinsman’s Tree is rich with meaning on many … Continue reading →

The Divine Space Pirates dystopian science fiction fantasy is well done

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 3, 2017 by David BergslandMay 3, 2017

I just read an excellent romance in The Divine Space Pirates dystopian science fiction fantasy by C.S. Johnson. It is dystopian, reads like an epic fantasy, while it’s clearly science fiction—with a nicely done romance. It’s not nearly as strong as … Continue reading →

Stealthy Redemptive Fiction works well for reality

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 21, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 21, 2017

OK! The title’s for SEO. But, Stealthy Redemptive Fiction works well for reality when it’s Vikki Kestell’s Nanostealth series. I’ve read Book 1, Stealthy Steps, or book 2, Stealth Power. Book 3 comes forth June 2. It’s hard to wait. The Nanostealth Series Book 1 started a … Continue reading →

Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 7, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 7, 2017

The Bloodheart is a supposedly Christian fantasy by an excellent writer who pulled the punches, really badly. Sky ships nasty villains in a bit of entertaining fluff tells it all. While I enjoyed the authorial dexterity, there is nothing here but entertainment. … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 27, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 27, 2017

Book two in the Stonegate series by Harry James Fox is Christian dystopian military fiction with a medieval twist. This is a very interesting tale of life a hundred years from now in the Central Rockies and the Front Range. Having … Continue reading →

Mainline Christian fantasy Carr’s The Shattered Vigil

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on October 28, 2016 by David BergslandOctober 28, 2016

Here’s another mainline Christian fantasy. Carr’s writing makes it enjoyable. But, as Christian fiction there’s not a lot here. However, it is entertaining. Patrick creates characters who are compelling and complex. Plus, the relationships are intense and convoluted. Carr gives us several surprises … Continue reading →

Spiritual fantasy stripped of truth: The Returning by Rachelle Dekker

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 1, 2016 by David BergslandSeptember 1, 2016

This book is #3 of the Seer series, by Dekker’s daughter, Rachelle. I found it to be well written, seriously entertaining, but a spiritual fantasy stripped of truth. I haven’t read The Choosing, book one in the series or The Calling, book … Continue reading →

Blades of Acktar fantasy by Tricia Mingerink

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 5, 2016 by David BergslandJuly 5, 2016

The Blades of Acktar fantasy series is excellent redemptive romance As a fantasy, the long-drawn out hemming and hawing of the romance compromises the story. But then when you are writing a romance, the actual life stories take second place. … Continue reading →

Epic fantasy: A lyrical slave king

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on June 7, 2016 by David BergslandJune 7, 2016

Epic fantasy with a lyrical slave king. In general, I find this type of fantasy irritating. I think it’s going to be a fun fantasy, once we get there. It’s quite entertaining. But this is definitely the obscure intro to a triple … Continue reading →
