Christian speculative fiction book review: The Collar and the Cavvarach by Annie Douglass Lima

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on April 30, 2015 by David BergslandApril 30, 2015

This is a fun read. It reminded me of the Venture Trilogy—without any spiritual side. An orphan is saved from himself by wise adults and mentors. This is almost an urban fantasy in another world with strong parallels to ours. … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 22, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 17, 2015

This is the second book in a planned five-book series called The Ilyon Chronicles. I really dislike waiting for series to be complete. But… It’s as good as I hoped! Here’s the blurb from the Amazon page: “Following the harrowing events that brought them … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 20, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 20, 2015

I’m at a loss for words. My only quibble is that it’s yet another of those #%$&*( )@#$ novellas. I have literally run out of superlatives for Guy’s books. Another genre busting book This is Christian, action/adventure, science fiction, western, … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 18, 2015 by David BergslandFebruary 18, 2015

OK, I don’t like mysteries much. Noir mysteries a bit less… But I like David G. Johnson’s writings. So, I gave it a shot. If you like noir mysteries, you’ll like this one. The Woman In Blue (Nick O’Brien Case … Continue reading →

Christian fantasy romance review: Dauntless by Dina Sleiman

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 29, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 29, 2015

Early quibbles: I signed up to review this book because it looked like a fantasy or at least a “Robin Hood” type of story. It is a Robin Hood-type of story, but mainly it’s a romance. I was afraid of … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 22, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 22, 2015

This is a fun read. It’s a typical thriller with some very good Christian twists. Here’s the blurb: A rally for a controversial presidential candidate. A terrorist threat. A nightmare of cataclysmic proportions.  Jack and Pamela Crittendon have hit the … Continue reading →

#christianspeculativefic A Time To die by Nadine Brandes

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 21, 2015 by David BergslandJanuary 21, 2015

Barely Christian, exotically speculative, this novel seems to be a concept looking for a story. As the main character is lost and blindly roaming a world of fear and the unknown, the reader never really finds out what is happening … Continue reading →
