DreamWorks Pictures’ “War Horse,” director Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure, is a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.
The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war— a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is currently on Broadway. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.

I love to read Christian Fiction especially those that fall under the mystery/thriller genre so was excited when I received this book to read. Randy Singer is an acclaimed writer who also happens to be a veteran trial attorney and a pastor. Publisher’s Weekly says: “Singer is every bit as enjoyable as John Grisham.”
False Witness is actually divided between two time lines which take place four years apart. The book opens with Clark Shealy, a bail bondsman, who has the ultimate bounty on the line: his wife’s life. He has forty-eight hours to find a professor who has created an equation so powerful it can crack all internet encryption in record time. If he fails, his wife pays the price.
Four years later, law student Jamie Brock is working in legal aid when a routine case takes a vicious twist: she learns that her clients, members of the witness protection program, are accused of defrauding the government and have the algorithm. Now the couple is on the run from federal agents and the Chinese mafia, who both know the formulas power and will do anything to get it.
My Review:
Have you ever wondered to what lengths you would go if someone was threatening the life of your loved one? How much outside the bounds of the law you would step? For a bounty hunter, Clark is actually a fairly decent guy but through the first part of the book, you see the extent of what he will do to save his wife. The struggle he has within himself at the steps he feels he has to take and his anguish when some of the steps are finished.
Fast forward four years later where we meet Jamie Brock. Jamie is working one afternoon at the legal aid office and a man comes in requesting help with a court appearance that he has. When Jamie agrees to help, she gets thrown into situations that are totally out of her control. I will say though that Jamie has guts and doesn’t hesitate to make quick decisions.
Even though I realized after I started reading False Witness that I’m not a big fan of the legal thriller type I would recommend this book to those that are or just want to try something different. Randy Singer does a good job with the court room scenes and other detail going into the book. The story line flows well and has plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Don’t let the fact that it falls under the Christian Fiction genre make you pass it by. The book is not preachy at. There are a few characters you meet who are Christians but they are not the bible thumping, gospel preaching type.
