Fiction. Literature. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Sweet Revenge?
When two senseless killings hit close to home, columnist Clarence Abernathy seeks revenge for the murdersâ??and, ultimately, answers to his own struggles regarding race and faith. After being dragged into the world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict, Clarence is encouraged by fellow columnist Jake Woods to forge an unlikely partnership with a redneck homicide detective. Soon the two find themselves facing dark forces, while unseen eyes watch from above. This re-release of Randy Alcornâ??s powerful bestseller spins off from Deadline and offers a fascinating glimpse inside heaven.
Can One Manâ??s Search for Justice Stand Up to the Forces of Evil Threatening to Destroy Him?
A shocking murder drags black newspaper columnist Clarence Abernathy into the disorienting world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict. In a desperate hunt for answers to the violence (and to his own struggles with race and faith), Clarence forges an unlikely partnership with redneck detective Ollie Chandler. Despite their differences, Clarence and Ollie soon find themselves sharing the same mission: victory over the forces of darkness vying for dominion.
Filled with insightâ??and with characters so real youâ??ll never forget themâ??Dominion is a dramatic story of spiritual searching, racial reconciliation, and hope.
I donâ??t know when I have read a novel that affected me so profoundly. Randy Alcorn has combined a superb mystery/detective story with a lesson in racial relations in America, gang dynamics and symbols, Christian values, and spiritual warfare.

Even better than its predecessorâ?¦Alcornâ??s writing remains top-notch.

This is the second book in Randy Alcorn's series. While it was still a good story, I just didn't like this book as much as the first one or the third one. I highly recommend the last book in this series! It was the best. ( )

Another great read by Randy Alcorn! ( )

A pretty hefty read. Heavier than 'Deadline' and not as much action to move the story along. For a novel, it is a comprehensive look at racial prejudice against African Americans in America. Similar theme of heaven and what it might be like as in 'Deadline'. Enjoyed the references to 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and C.S. Lewis. The storyline of Ty and his gang involvement moves to the forefront early on in the book, is full of action and dilemma, but then completely disappears until close to the end. I spent a lot of the second half wondering where he was and what was happening to him. Jake, Janet and Carly reappear and their story continues to develop. ( )
