It is true that I have become bias when it comes to books
written by D. I. Telbat, however, as with any book in a series there is an
expectation from the reader that each book has to be better than the last and I
have enjoyed the Coil Series thus far, though perhaps not as exciting as the
first (nothing really is) it is still a good read.
“Dark Rule” the third book in the Coil Series by D. I.
Telbat can better be appreciated if you have read” “Dark Liaison” and “DarkHearted” (books one and two respectively).
Since “Dark Vessel” will be released sometime this year I think it would
be well worth the reader getting all three books now.
I have come to think of the Coil series as the “mission
impossible” for Christians. The mission in this book is to rescue Chen Li a COIL agent from the
hands of evil. Commission of
International Laborers, a group of Christian individuals trained in to fight
the powers of darkness in a non-deadly fashion use their skill on the most
dangerous of places around the most violent people.
As with the other books in the series “Dark Rule” by D. I.
Telbat is entertaining, suspenseful and suitable for all readers. It does not
contain sex or extreme violence. Because this is the 3rd in a series the end
becomes anti-climatic yet unlike the other books I was able to reflect on the
bigger picture which is the plight of Christians throughout the world who do
not have the freedom to worship openly.
Despite my obvious
bias I do recommend you read this book.
Though the reader will be able to follow the story without purchasing
the first two in the series there will be a better appreciation for the essence
of the series (the difficulties of Christian missionaries) if each book is
read.
Though the book is available via Amazon I would highly recommend you download this eBook via SMASHWORDS
I received a
complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
