Book review: The shadow at evening by Chris Walley

Genre: Christian science fiction.

The pacing of this starts slow as it gradually fills in the details of the world. The writing is decent, the plot is interesting. The issue for me here is this is a Christian book with no warning anywhere on the book that it is.

Initially I thought the author was setting the stage for a complex story where various viewpoints are explored with people who thought the world was black and white begin to see the shades of Gray.

However it seems the author believes things are black and white. So following rules without thinking about them is a good thing. Any genetic modification of humans is a bad thing. Technology needs to be controlled and so on and so forth.

All in all I won't bother with the sequel and regret the time I spent reading this.

Rating: Don't bother ... well unless you like Christian literature then this one is pretty good.
