A very underrated and philosophical book about a Canadian journalist living with his two children through what appears to be the end times. It can be took introspective: the main character is often writing his own monologues or flashing back to the events of the past, but it's a wonderfully rich and human book. The thinking man's take on Left Behind.
I like reading dystopian fiction. I can see some of the same themes in the society in our present society, and it is frightening. This is a story about an editor of a magazine who narrowly escaped arrest for his views. From then on, it is an adventure story and a story of growth. It is a surprisingly fast read.
This and the other three books in the series take place in a Canada of the future which has driven Christians into hiding and everyone is controlled. people hide in secred places and battle the overlords in a attempt to free themselves. would be termed an apocalyptic Christian series.
It's hard to believe that one author can be so versatile. It took me a long time to read Strangers and Sojourners--the first in this series. I read this one in four days. A very interesting futuristic novel. Much more believable than others I've read in this genre.
This is the second itn a trilogy. It was a must read only to get to the next book in the series. It came off a little preachy but it still rings true.
Michael O'Brien writes a compelling narrative about a father who rescues his children and himself from a corrupt government.
Plague Journal picks up with a grand-child of the main characters in Strangers and Sojourners.
It is riveting, scary, touching, and sad.

I have to read all the O'Brien books!! Love his work.
Another amazing book - followup to Father Elijah.
I couldn't put this one down.
Really a remarkable book, the characters are incredibly human. Nathaniel, the main character, is endearing in almost every way—I found him exceptionally easy to empathize with.
I am interested to see what the next book holds in store. I am already lamenting the end of this series even though I am only two books in.

Part 2 - the Delaney family on the run. Short read (compared to S&S and Eclipse) but sets the stage for a grand conclusion.
A really good read. An insightful and disturbing page turner.
amazing apologetics; insightful living.
