The Great Separation has posted a review of David Aikman’s novel, Awaken the Dragon, calling the action-based story of a U.S. news correspondent in China who crosses paths with the underground Church “a great read.” The review continues
“Aikman does an incredible job of embedding Chinese culture, politics, religious, and the underground Church in an action filled fiction story.
“Given today’s international tones this book was all the more interesting. The author’s background and knowledge with China helped to give a stronger feel of reality to each aspect of the book.
“The characters were all well developed and brought to life. As were the character qualities of Christianity, especially in places of our world where it is under suspicion and attack. As a sideline, this book reminded me of my responsibility as a Christian to be faithful in my prayers for the faithful in China.
“The main story plot, that of a missing American, was exciting. The steady development of the action made this book very hard to put down. Even when I finished it, I wanted more. I would recommend this book to anyone.”
