Gideon's Chariot: A Chronicle of the Final Days

Gideon's Chariot is a novel that crosses genre boundaries in a wonderfully unexpected way. Starting out, it reads like a hard-nosed crime novel; then the author phases in a bit of science fiction, to keep you on your toes; and then--just as you think you're getting your bearings--faith is questioned, devotion, repentance...the end of days.The characters that Wygant has created are very three dimensional. Their back-stories, personalities, and physical characteristics are well-established and consistent; and individual enough to be memorable. The relationships between the characters also seem strongly believable.Gideon's Chariot is a good read, with a unique and interesting concept. Who is Gideon, an angel or an alien? If alien, does this call into question our societal (or religious) belief in angels? What if scripture was based on beings who were thought to be divine, but who were actually extraterrestrial?Janet Layberry, Professional editor
