Pertenece a las seriesLamb Among the Stars (Second part of book 1)
In the spirit of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lamb among the Stars series weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and the supernatural into something unique and haunting. On the faraway planet of Farholme, humans live in peace under the gentle rule of the Assembly. War and evil are ancient history. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and it must be fought. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This is a truly remarkable series. Others have written about the basic story line of the book in their reviews so I won't even get into that, but I would just like to say that there is a great deal to get out of this book. More than it just being a great story there is also a lesson we can all learn about our relation to sin and evil in this world.
In the LATS universe there is an absence of evil, almost a second Edan, which has a very awkward feel at first. The first 70 pages or so I just couldn't stand because everyone was so perfect, so fake seeming, that I just could not relate. It was almost sickening how good the people were...but it shouldn't have been. This separation from sin and evil, though not possible to be reached fully, is something that we should strive for as Christians. Then when evil is let loose even the smallest sins are enormous to these people. I think we should have a similar reaction. Even just a tiny lie, a disregard for the law etc. should be something that we flee from committing.
I would also like to note that aside from the message the story is extremely well told and continually leaves you wanting to press on to find out just a little bit more of the mystery. I found him to be an excellent author in all respects though if I had to choose a flaw I would have to say it comes with dialog. Often when dialog is taking place "simple sets of quotation marks" separate "one character from another." I often found myself switching the two characters when I missed an "oh" or something like that. All and all though this is must read! ( )
