BR - Red

3.5/5 Red - Ted Dekker

Two main plot lines still going on. Thomas Hunter is in the here and now fighting against the Raison Strain which has been released, but he's been killed in his other world where the hord is chaising them.

Getting very very biblical now. They crucify Justin who turns out to be Elyon. All the good guys get the plague and then need to rinse in Elyon's water to cleanse, now they never have to do it again since they killed Justin.

Will continue with White to finish up the series, but it looses originality when it's retelling another story.

BR - Europa Strike

5/5 - Europa Strike (3rd book in Heritage Trilogy) by Ian Douglas

Douglas keeps everything going here with the politics on Earth setting up a battle in space on Europa where a "singer" has been found. The singer ends up unleashing a distress call across the universe. We can only assume that in the sequel to the trilogy that the singer's message ends up with some bad aliens.

This was a fast read for being a long book, lots of good action, good characters, etc. Would definitely read the trilogy again, but for now need to read the following two trilogies.
