Publisher's Description
Chelsea Adams has visions. But they have no place in a courtroom. As a juror for a murder trial, Chelsea must rely only on the evidence. And this circumstantial evidence is strong---Darren Welk killed his wife. Or did he? The trial is a nightmare for Chelsea. The other jurors belittle her Christian faith. As testimony unfolds, truth and secrets blur. Chelsea's visiting niece stumbles into peril surrounding the case, and Chelsea cannot protect her. God sends visions---frightening, vivid. But what do they mean? Even as Chelsea finds out, what can she do? She is helpless, and danger is closing in. . . . Masterfully crafted, Dread Champion is a novel in which appearances can deceive and the unknown can transform the meaning of known facts. One man's guilt or innocence is just a single link in a chain of hidden evil . . . and God uses the unlikeliest of people to accomplish his purposes.

Library Journal
Fans of Collins's Eyes of Elisha will cheer the return of psychic Chelsea
Adams, although this time out, she's not the one in danger. A juror on a
sensational murder trial, Chelsea has promised the judge and attorneys to be
guided only by the evidence and not by her supernatural visions. The
circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that Darren Walk killed his wife in
the dark waters off a California beach, but Chelsea senses that there may be
other possibilities. When Chelsea becomes the holdout during deliberations,
her fellow jurors belittle her faith. "But the Lord is with me like a dread
champion; therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail." These words,
taken from Jeremiah 20:11, support her against their anger and assuage the
horrific visions she's having of her niece, whose attraction to Walk's son
puts her in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer. A riveting mystery and
courtroom drama will engage the attention of readers who hope to see more of
Chelsea's visions. Recommended for most collections. Copyright 2002 Cahners

Publisher's Weekly
The quality of Collins's writing slips in this evangelical Christian thriller
follow-up to Eyes of Elisha, but she still spins an interesting tale with
plenty of suspense. Californian Chelsea Adams has the supernatural gift of
visions that show her events others are unable to perceive. She's dismayed to
be selected as a juror at the murder trial of Darren Welk, whose wife,
Shawna, has disappeared. Chelsea's visiting niece Kerra Fraye attends the
trial and strikes up a romance with a man whose innocence is increasingly
under scrutiny. Chelsea and Kerra's lives are about to intersect with that of
20-year-old Rogelio Sanchez, the birth father of a baby girl whom he signed
away for adoption-a decision he now regrets. The story is compelling, but the
prose is not up to Collins's usual standards. She overdetails physical
movements ("air puffed from Erika's offended mouth"); characters repeatedly
blink and their throats, stomachs, guts and mouths do peculiar things
("Rogelio's stomach gelled"). There are odd, lengthy descriptions ("The jury
pulled at his eyes, but he focused on the judge as she positioned her computer
keyboard just so and generally settled herself like a hen over eggs"). Collins
inserts plenty of intrigue and false trails, although the novel's ending
fails to take into account one character who is notable by her omission.
Evangelical Christian readers will applaud the character of Chelsea as an
example of how God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways to accomplish
his objectives, but Collins fans may be wondering why her strong writing
skills are not showcased here. (Oct.) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business
