Reviewed Titles Air Rage Ninety Days	Sam Yarney Reviews Added March 4, 2005 Air Rage Author: Sam Yarney Publisher: Victor Newman Books Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: August 2004 Genre: Fiction: Christian/Suspense/Thriller Format: Paperback Price: $9.95 ISBN: 0-9542809-1-1 Author Email/Website: www.samyarney.com Reviewer: Joyce Handzo Rating: Gargoyles Air Rage is outrageously good! This sequel to Ninety Days follows another spiritual and political adventure in the life of mild-mannered British journalist, Cyrus Anderson. The story begins a few years after the ending of the first book, and readers will soon find themselves riveted in another race against time. As with the previous book, the political players span the globe, from China to the White House. A new threat is introduced, and an old enemy needs to be defeated. Although the author was careful to include some explanations about the earlier story, this reviewer recommends reading Ninety Days first. By doing that, readers will get a better sense of the relationships between the characters, as well as a fuller understanding of the spiritual situation. The author lays an intricate web of intrigue linking China, the President of the United States, and a major Christian television broadcaster. The behind the scene action steadily builds until a crescendo of a climax. At that point, the weapons of the spiritual world are unleashed in a mighty wave, rocking the foundations of the plans of men. All of the key characters are back in this sequel with even bigger plans for world power. The bond between Cyrus and billionaire Alain Saint-Clair becomes distorted as the spiritual nature of their friendship takes a new turn. The author paints a stunning contrast as the prayers of the Christian community goes to battle against the most powerful worldly men and women. The interconnectedness of the global players causes readers to see the story grow to ever-larger proportions. Yet, just when it seems that things are slowing down to an anticipated conclusion, an explosive ending literally blasts the back cover off this book! Air Rage doesn't end. The story just stops to catch its breath before the final book in the trilogy is released. Hopefully, the wait won't be too long. Return to top of page. Added March 4, 2005 Ninety Days Author: Sam Yarney Publisher: Victor Newman Books Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: July 2003 Genre: Fiction: Christian/Suspense/Thriller Format: Paperback Price: 9.95 ISBN: 0-9542809-0-3 Author Email/Website: www.samyarney.com Reviewer: Joyce Handzo Rating: 9 Gargoyles Ninety Days races through time to give readers a stirring account of an age-old spiritual battle! Freelance journalist, Cyrus Anderson, finds himself strapped for cash and decides to take in a boarder. Little did he realize that his new roommate, Alain Saint-Clair, is not only the heir apparent of a billion-dollar empire, but is also the catalyst by which the world could be destroyed. And the weapons in this warfare are not carnal, but spiritual. Cyrus is pulled into the center of a whirlwind storm of international proportions, with only one way to survive. Author Sam Yarney unveils the very real presence of spiritual forces and demonstrates how they impact the physical world. He carefully lays the groundwork for this novel in the life of a quiet and rational-thinking man named Cyrus. As a journalist, Cyrus seeks the truth, yet he encounters a force that wasn't factored into his orderly way of thinking and living. Readers will appreciate the way the author develops this character, and uses his logical and somewhat cynical mindset to propel the story line forward. The presence of the occult and the supernatural are introduced into the novel in ever increasing increments. As the powers of darkness gain momentum, the power of prayer is revealed. It's at this point that the novel explodes with action! The characters take this battle to the spiritual arena and the results are carried over into the physical realm. The result is a story that transcends time and space, yet remains rooted in physical reality. It should be noted that the author personally understands the power of prayer and travels extensively on speaking engagements to encourage Christians in their prayer life. Because of his spiritual discernment in this area, the novel is filled with a genuine intensity to ignite a passion for praying in his readers. Ninety Days is not just a story; it's an adventure for the heart, mind and soul! Return to top of page.
