Plot: The world’s best sharpshooter, hidden in the forests of Hungary, has no goal or identity but survival. Constantly pushed to physical and mental extremes the man known as “Saint” searches for meaning and truth however when he is sent on his first assassination attempt, things get tricky as he begins to discover things he never thought possible.
Good Elements:
Ted Dekker’s thrillers are always are treat, even if you don’t normally like this style of writing; most likely you’ll be hooked.
Dekker’s books always carry a central Christian theme; this one is no exception. Saint discusses Belief in depth.
Negative Elements:
It would help to read Dekker’s book Showdown before this; however, it’s not necessary.
Dekker has an unusual doctrine which may confuse or surprise you if you aren’t firm in your beliefs.
Overall:
I enjoyed Dekker’s book and highly recommend it–it’s gripping and compelling.
