Grant Borrows gets the shock of his life when he gets off the city bus one day and sees himself walking down the street. He has changed into someone else.
And he has strange new abilities.
Little does he know that others have experienced the same phenomena, and that they are all part of a plan to change the world forever.
Robin Parrish is a writer for the 21st century. He writes with a visual style and wild ideas in the vein of Lost. His plot pushes relentlessly forward (sorry for the pun, but it's true) and keeps the reader guessing at every turn. When you think you have it figured out, he'll throw a curve ball.
This remains one of the most imaginative series I've read. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a harrowing suspense or grew up on Marvel, DC Comics, and Star Wars.

This book kept me turning the pages! There are twists and turns in the plot that you don't see coming and you won't want to put it down.

To be completely honest, I did not finish this book. I loved the writing style, and was quite interested to see where the story was going to lead, but the frequent (and surprisingly graphic) violence just left me feeling like I had been watching an R rated movie, not reading a "Christian" novel.
(this book was a free ebook, and as such I put value at 5/5, despite my feelings for the book)

funny how there were negative reviews... books of fiction are that... fiction..
I actually have the original paperback of this book and i love it.. not quite finished with it but near end now and trying to find the next series to buy.. it's an older book since it's 2012
but I love how the book is made kind of like the movie Matrix where you CAN make certain christian comparisons with the characters in the novel (that is, if you attempt to..)
....Just want to say thanks to the author... if GOD called you to write, keep doing it for HIS glory.. negative comments/opinions always happen from everywhere. anyhow, thanks!

I've had this ebook for a while, but just got to it in the last couple of days - time wasted. This book serves no purpose for a true Christian - not even as a way to relax.
The writing dips into areas that no true Christian should mess with, I prayed about finishing the book - I finished it with a hope that the end would some how redeem all that went before, but that didn't happen.
I would strongly recommend that others stay away from this book, especially young Christians.

The book has a non-standard plot, which made it interesting - more so at first. The book is not particularly well written, and the only thing that could remotely justify its classification as a Christian book is that there is no illicit sex, bad language or drinking (that I now recall), and it has end time allusions. My husband and I read this book aloud to each other. He would have quit reading it sooner. Toward the end we couldn't wait for it to be done and sure don't care what happens next. We won't read the sequel or anything else by this author again.

Really enjoyed this book. As a 49 year old male Christian, it was truly Relentless. I've now finished the second book in this trilogy and am anxious to get to read the third!

This is a very creative book. i have not seen anything like this in a movie of another work of fiction! I really appreciated the writer's description and unique story line. Once I started reading I found it hard to stop. I look forward to reading more of this kind of writing.

I seldom quit reading a book before I finish it, but for Relentless I made an exception. I read about a third of the way through the book, and could still make no sense of the plot. I also found the book needlessly violent and confusing. It was supposedly a Christian book, yet I could find no reference to anything remotely Christian. Don't waste your time or money.

Loved it! The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat! Will definitely read the rest of the trilogy, I just have to know what happens next. The only flaw.....the last few pages were not correcty centered so I had to hold it in order to read the words on the left side of the page. Other than that.....great!

Suspense, romance and thrills in a well-written package. I'm adding Robin Parrish to my "Most Loved Authors" list.

The book "Relentless" is full of adventure and mystery; however, it was hard to understand exactly what was happening and why until closer to the end. I guess that's all part of the mystery of it. I bought the two sequels to it, so guess I will find out more!

This author had my attention from the first page.
This work can compare to Ted Dekkers unique way of thinking. So I was not surprised to see the author mention Dekker. Look forward to reading the rest of the series.
