Review – By The Sword

January 8, 2011 By Michael

If you want to better understand Muslim fanaticals while moving swiftly through an entertaining plot filled with a variety of surprises, then read By The Sword, from Mike Yorkey and Rick Myatt. You’ll come away understanding what it means to die for your beliefs.

The book opens with all of the guests in a hotel brutally murdered by Muslim fanatics. American investigative reporter Amber Robbins sets out to discover who’s responsible, putting her own life on the line. She probes into the slayings and discovers that Islamic extremists are giving non-Muslims a choice–conversion or death.

As a first novel, there are a few read bumps mostly in the dialogue, but all in all this novel delivers and is worth the read. The characters are far from stereotypical but are believable and interesting. You’ll root for Amber as she sets out to solve the mystery.
