Product Description

From Amazon.com

In Birth of an Age, book two of the Christ Clone Trilogy, the promised catastrophes in the biblical book of Revelation are poured out. Asteroids are on a crash course toward earth, locust-like insects inflict terrible pain on mankind, and a generalized madness infects the world's population, spawning horrific violence. In the midst of these turbulent events, Christopher announces he is the [Messiah], and promises that a new era is about to be ushered in. --Cindy Crosby --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only gets better !!!!, May 13 2004
By Samurai6 (Westchester,New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birth of an Age: Book Two of the Christ Clone Trilogy (Hardcover)
Book two of "The Christ Clone" trilogy is better than the first. The beginning of the end has started and no one knows who to turn to for salvation. Who will stop the tribulations. Who will lead humanity through the horrors sent to them? Is Christopher Goodman the person to do it...or not?

This book contans some of the best written scenes of destruction ever put to paper. As the final plagues hit the Earth James Beauseignuer paints a realistic picture of the gruesome events man faces. These sequences are so vivid they rival anything in the best written horror novels (there is a scence invovling an asteroid that has some of the most gripping writing I've ever read!) The suffering the people go through is palpable. A great setup for the conclusion.

All I can say is this beats everything out there to dust. Left Behind is nothing compared to Christ Clone Trilogy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthy Follow-up to "IN HIS IMAGE", April 10 2004
The second part of "The Christ Clone Trilogy" frightened me in its opening chapters. My fear had little to do with its harrowing plot (eerie as it is), and everything to do with my thought process which went; "Oh no 300+ pages of disaster novel peachy". Beauseigneur made me forget my initial impression soon into his second entry into the series allaying my anxiety that it would be nothing but another long apocolyptic narrative that had been done time and again in fiction.

While continuing to chronicle Christopher's career, and detail Decker Hawthorne's life after the disaster the author neatly parralels the story of Revelation in his novel, and even footnotes specific passages significant to the story line. This is not just one long disaster novel though his prose is too fluid so that another fictionalization of Revelation is lifted up into a suspenseful, gripping novel.

Parts of the plot are a little predictable as is inevitable for any reader with a passing knowledge of the bible, but Beauseigneur manages to keep the reader guessing with unexpected plot twists.

The author has included an explanatory note to both volumes, explaining that this is FICTION and happenings in the author's imagination, which should be kept in mind while reading this book. I wouldn't call it blashemous or heritical because it is a novel after all and if there are serious Christians reading this please remember the note at start of books. His explanation of the origins of humanity and speculation of who Christ the Messiah and Yahweh are seem a little far fetched at first but as I continued reading I found them plausible and entertaining as I am sure they were meant to be and this ending building up to the third and climatic volume is what clinched this books worthiness as a second entry in series.
This "Christ Clone Trilogy" I have to recommend to all, you may not find it to your tastes but I highly regret anyone who enjoys reading would regret taking the time to read this trilogy.

Well, this is a step up from the first book. Here are some of the problems:

The book was pretty short. There is a ton of stuff that could be included within the story lines he's developed, and he left them cold. Read more
