Jack and Pam Crittendon are struggling financially, ever
since Jack lost his job as a reporter (see Poison Town for
more details). Jack is currently working part time as a
security guard for EventPros, where he assists with events
at the Columbus arena. Expectations are high for a packed,
overflowing crowd as a potential presidential candidate,
Senator Sterling, and a well-known Christian musician,
Everett Lester, are appearing tonight. Unfortunately,
EventPros has received information from Homeland Security
that a potential terrorist threat may also be imminent. Will
Jack and his friend, Brian Shakespeare, survive the night?
SKY ZONE is the third book in Creston Mapes' The
Crittendon Files but can easily be read as a standalone.
References to the events and characters of prior books (and
even a prior series) occur but Creston Mapes provides the
reader with plenty of context to understand and enjoy the
current storyline. In fact, it only whets my curiosity for
the earlier books all the more!
Having read Poison Town, I already love Pam and Jack so it
is fascinating to see how they handle their current economic
difficulties. I love how Creston Mapes weaves faith and real
life hardships together, showing us how his characters
handle their fears and doubts through their faith. SKY ZONE
challenges Pam and Jack on every level and the depth of
emotion conveyed through their battles is quite powerful.
I tend to be a bit leery of survivalist characters but
Creston Mapes does a marvelous job with his depiction of
Brian Shakespeare. We get several flashback chapters to
interactions between Brian and Jack that give us a good
overview of Brian's fanaticism about the survivalist
movement. I love how Creston Mapes takes Brian's character
in a completely different direction than I expected as it
adds some real depth to SKY ZONE.
SKY ZONE is a fast paced, intense story that is very current
with today's political environment. Creston Mapes doesn't
hesitate to shake up his characters and their worldviews to
show how faith can help them through any difficulty. SKY
ZONE is a phenomenal thriller as Creston Mapes is quickly
becoming a must-read author for me! SKY ZONE is highly
recommended!
This heart-stopping sequel to Poison Town and
Fear Has a Name skillfully weaves storylines of marriage,
family, and friendships with a thundering, tension-laced
plot that will leave fiction-lovers breathless.
Jack and Pamela Crittendon have hit the breaking point.
After months out of work as a reporter, Jack is playing
Mr.
Mom and working part-time at Festival Arena with his
survivalist friend Brian Shakespeare. Meanwhile, Pamela
has
gone back to work full-time while eight months pregnant.
With financial pressures boiling, Jack reports for duty at
a
rally for a controversial presidential candidate, where he
expects a mindless night on the job. But when Homeland
picks
up intelligence about a potential terrorist threat, Jack
and
Shakespeare are thrust into a life-or-death battle to save
their own lives--and those of thousands of innocent
people.
