"Compelling Inpirational Futuristic"
World War III, fought over religious difference, decimated
the population.
Religion became banned and led to the National Peace
Organization killing
traitors who disregard the taboo; none is as fanatical as
NPO operative Paul
Slepola until he becomes a believer. He also becomes the
highest placed male in
the party but he does not tell his wife because her father
was the father of the
party. When Paul brought down what was thought a high placed
person in the underground
he became a hero to many and his wife, who forgave his many
infidelities, began
to believe they had a future together. When someone
claiming to represent the
underground bombs Italy and France, Paul is sent over to
bring him to justice.
He also makes contact with the underground. Back home they
believe he has
turned traitor and are going to use his wife to prove it.
The party is also
implementing measures to have citizens sign papers saying
they do not believe in
religion; the penalty for lying is loss of freedom or
death. Paul must stop
this from happening or even worse problems will resonate
around the Globe. Jerry Jenkins always tells a great story and SILENCED is no
exception. Paul
wants to prove to his wife he changed and she wife must
choose which side she is
on: her father or her husband's beliefs. There is a lot of
action in this
science fiction thriller but the best part of SILENCED is
the scenes where
Paul's wife must make up her mind about who she truly
believes in and acts upon
it. This series is as good as the Left Behind Books but
they are very different
as the author shows the audience the powers of prayer and
how it works in our
every day lives within this compelling tale about a
repressive regime that
punishes those who do not obey their edicts. Harriet Klausner
