Rendition During Books Comes a Horseman
I wanted to give this a 4 star rating, but let me explain why it is a 3. This book is a ride on the edge of the seat. You feel the thrill and tension from the beginning. You know how sometimes you can figure out the outcome of the story within the first chapters? Well, this is not one of those books. Your brain can't keep up with the action and all that is happening. It is truly a thrill ride. The characters are real, and you relate with them. The horror is real, real enough to make you not want to look out your windows. I honestly had trouble sleeping some nights - but I love that kind of ride! So why the 3 stars? When you've been on the edge through the entire book, how do you end it? I found the end a little anti-climactic after all that we'd been through together. Selfish, right? I think the author just couldn't top himself. If I could give it a 3 1/2 I would, it probably deserves a 4, but I was so bummed out with how quickly it went from 100 mph to 0 that left me wanting something more. The author is very talented, so read all his books! His Dreamhouse Kings Series (teen?) is amazing!Identify Books As Comes a Horseman

This book still grips me even though I have read it a few times, now. Enough time has passed between each reading that the book [and the story] remain [relatively] fresh for me. The first time I read this book I was petrified! It was truly an intense thriller! Holy cow! It had me on the edge of my seat and I had a hard time putting it down. It also has [what is in my mind] a somewhat-unique plot twist. There is a secret society that is waiting for the Antichrist to appear and this group searchesThia was my first Robert Liparulo book,and it certainly isn't going to be the last. What a suspensful book! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is a christian novel a i think one of the best ones that i've read.
The best description of the book comes from its own pages (380-381): "...The person behind the murders and attacks possessed power and contacts, enough to track relatively anonymous FBI agents and arrange for their executions. The Antichrist story was flat-out weird, no doubt about it. But so were the grisly beheadings of so-called endears [a priest's term for those who've experienced NDEs, or near-death experiences], to use Father McAfee's term; a killer who pretended to be--or really was--a

When I started reading this book, I was waiting for a son as he got an eye exam. Intense from the beginning, I had to close the book for a few minutes so I wouldn't have to throw up!! But as soon as I gained composure, it was back in the book. I needed a breather when my son finally came out, and I was careful from then on where I was while reading!(And never alone...)What a gift Liparulo has for writing a thriller! He grabs you by the throat, and brings in a hero to rescue you. It's highly
Really, really good, scary book about the Antichrist and a Catholic organization watching for him and the FBI agents who discover it. Excellent.
Comes a Horseman, is one of those books you just get into that you don't want to put down. This book had me from the get go. As soon as I opened it and started reading I just wanted to continue, whenever I could. Comes a Horseman is about 2 FBI agents who need to find a serial killer, but while finding him their lives become in danger too. I do have to say I got teary-eyed during one part when it dealt with Zach who is the son to FBI agent Brady and his visit to his mom's grave. I also enjoyed
A Quickie ReviewThough this book has an intense, gripping story, and tight writing, the violence is a bit over the top. It definitely isn't for kids, and even some teens and young adults might be shocked at the amount of blood and gore; I know I was. If you're not too squeamish, though, this might prove to be a good read.Score: 3/5
