A Story to Make You Think

The Remnant by William Michael Davidson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Have you ever read a novel that made you wonder if the events in the story could happen in real life? If so, did it give you the chills? As I read THE REMNANT by Author William Michael Davidson it sure made me think. What if? I know this is a novel. I know it’s science fiction. But there is that question.

In the novel, when someone breaks the law they are sent to the island, which is a death sentence. The story opens with a man named Josh Mosley confessing his sin. What is the sin that sends him to death? Praying. Yes, praying. He tried to run away, but the people have a neurochip in their skull which makes it impossible for them to escape. Found guilty of his crime, he knew his fate.

Colton Pierce is the number one extractor for the Center for Theological Control (CTC), which deals with those who break the law. He’s in line for promotion to the top man. Sometimes life does not go as one plans, however. And Pierce’s life soon takes a dramatic turn. He has to make a choice: save his twelve-year-old son’s life from capture and death by the CTC or cling to his job he’s really good at and help the CTC capture him.

William Michael Davidson has written a novel that will make you think, at least it did me. Is it possible that such a thing could happen? Look at our world today and answer that question. The author did a nice job of keeping me guessing how things would turn out. Let’s just hope that this story does not come true. Recommended.
