Fault Lines

Author: Thomas Locke
​Genre: Thriller/Suspense

What if reality is only the edge of possibility?

There isn't much that can throw Charlie Hazard off balance. But the mystery woman with the striking eyes and the intense request to follow her--now--is about to shake his world. Knowing little more than her name, Charlie leaves his post as a guard at the Satellite Beach community center for what he thinks 

is just another risk-containment job. But Gabriella, an experimental psychologist, has far more in store for him than protection duty--if the two of them survive the test.

Reese Clawson relishes her work at the Combine and all the perks and power that come with it--including the ability to manipulate perceptions. But the Combine never anticipated this mind-shifting technology. If Gabriella's experiments succeed, the Combine would be destroyed. And Reese will never allow that to happen.

What a mouthful! It was very hard to understand the first 20 chapters. With the military lingo and descriptive scenes, it was a challenge to grasp onto the plot. Once I got into chapter 22, aha! I was finally following the author and jumping on the suspense train.
Great suspense indeed. Exciting and entertaining. Very vivid and descriptive play by play scenes. However,  how is this novel listed within Christian genre? What part of this book relates to Christ or the gospel? Where was the hope, redemption, salvation, and restoration scene?

I was given a complimentary copy of “Fault Lines” to review as a Christian book. My low rating is based on the fact there is no mention of God; there are no evident themes of redemption, salvation or faith. Possibly it was considered a Christian novel because there is no swearing or sex; however, there is violence.

The characters are well developed and the premise of the book is compelling, though a bit confusing at first trying to understand “ascending” and where everyone fits into the puzzle. But I also found the very end to be confusing with a gap of how a character went from one circumstance to another with no explanation. Maybe the next book, assuming there will be one, will explain this gap but it didn’t leave me with the desire to seek out the next book but merely frustrated me. Finally, in the version I reviewed I found a couple of editing errors – one major one being a mix up of character names. ​
