Booklist

Parrish's latest opens upon a world so tilted--people are "shifted" into new bodies, while their old bodies and personalities proceed--that it brings Philip K. Dick to mind. Gradually, the Dick-like paranoia itself shifts into flourishes of sword-and-sorcery and a cast of characters rather like X-Men. Psychokinesis is the theme, and Parrish makes it seem plausible, as his reluctant hero, Collin Boyd/Grant Borrows, discovers his powers in a kind of spiritual journey. The cliff-hanging plot mostly holds up, and the pace is, well, relentless. It's almost as though Parrish has too much talent and can't quite bring it under control. Nonetheless, another of Bethany's sf writers, Randall Ingermanson comes to mind, and Parrish is every bit as skilled. John Mort

A Unique Mix 28 juillet 2006
Par Eric Wilson - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
With high expectations, but very little advance knowledge of the plot, I opened "Relentless"--and held on for the ride.

The world of young man is completely Shifted when he stands on one side of the street and sees himself walking along the other. He has switched identities, or jumped bodies, or entered a parallel universe...He's not sure which. Soon after, he discovers his new name is Grant Borrows, he is wearing a ring which cannot be removed, and he is running for his life while trying to make sense of the mayhem swirling around him.

While wholly original, "Relentless" starts with a Phillip K. Dick type opening, then draws inspiration from "X-Men" and "The Lord of the Rings." These elements are both strengths and weaknesses. The setting starts in the real streets of L.A., then moves into a realm of swordmen, villains, and superhuman skills. Sometimes, it seems the story is trying to accomplish too much--hurried romances and belief-stretching escapes from speeding cars. Throughout, I kept thinking this would make a fantastic graphic novel.

Parrish is a skilled writer, using strong verbs and prose to convey his tale. Although some of the relational aspects seemed to need more depth, he unfolds the story with great mastery and presents more than one surprise, while unveiling a uniquely spiritual premise. At its core, the story is one an identity crisis: Who am I? Deep down, in my soul, who am I really? And what is my purpose?

This is one of the better amalgams I've seen of suspense and fantasy. And it's only the first in a trilogy, which means we have more great stories to come.

Interesting Premise 27 juillet 2006
Par Backfist - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
The concept of a synchronized "shift" of two peoples' consciousness is fascinating. The initial third of the book details the resulting confusion well. Then . . . ? The book "shifts" into a reluctant superhero story. The third act finally heats things up, but the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. While this is the first book of a trilogy, there is too little explaination for the appearance and motivation of the "bad guy".

I wish I could rate this higher, but based on the description I expected more of thriller than a fantasy.

It Was Great - Or Was It? 17 août 2006
Par T.E. George - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié
This is the most mixed review I have ever written. Mixed because part of me loved Relentless. It is fast paced, tight, and builds to its conclusion (or cliffhanger, well, relentlessly.

But then again, there is much I didn't like. There is so little original about this story under the skin. Parish throws in everything from a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker plot with Grant Borrows and his longed presumed dead father to as another reviewer has mentioned, a X-Men type mansion.

As much as I like Parish's writing (and his mentor, Ted Dekker), Parish does little to develop character. The one thought I kept having as I read this book was, "Wow - this would make a great movie." But I wanted it to be a great book first and in my opinion it is not.

Is it a good read? Oh yeah! And, I will read the sequels. But is this a great book? Not really.

"we all have that moment in life when something terrible happens for the first time. Something so unexpected, so awful, that it ... it takes the magic out of the world. Life becomes harder, colder. And everything we do in our lives, from that day on, is our way of coping with that one moment. We stop living and we merely exist. We either choose to move on from that, or we let it consume us." &quote;

"Scientists study the order of nature. But one thing science has never been able to explain is why that order exists. Why are there scientific laws that hold the universe together? Why doesn't everything spiral out of control, into chaos? As much as we try to reason our way around it, some parts of our existence simply can't be explained with formulas or proofs. &quote;
