    This review was written for The Pawn, The Bower Files Series #1.
    Reading the various reviews, I noticed a clear pattern. The high reviews raved about excellent writing, a fast-paced plot, and well developed characters. The negative reviews focused on attacks on the author's motives, faith, and spirituality. To me, this begs the question, what makes good Christian fiction? What makes good Christian fiction? Is it rainbows, singing, and happy endings? Or is it the use of skill to craft a book that avoids the pitfall of devolving into glorified sex and gratuitous violence? It is a testament to Steven's skill that he is able to evoke such a visceral response when he peels away the mask and lets us gaze into the face of evil. Fact is: If you enjoy a fast paced crime thriller, with plot twists and 3-dimensional characters, then this is a good choice. If you feel that books that include violence or conflict are evil, then don't read it. Oh, and you may not want to read the Old Testament, either.

    I loved this book and can't wait to get the next in the series. Well written suspense and thriller.

    However, I was searching for God in the pages, and never really found Him. I would recommend this book to many of my friends who read crime and suspense novels, but maybe not to my more "protected" (for want of a better word) friends who read less.... gritty novels.

    This book is a great suspense/thriller. This is a book that will hook you and make you keep reading, however, being published by a christian publishing house, i was very, very disappointed because I couldn't find to much of God within these pages.

    This review was written for Pawn, The - eBook.
    This book was outstanding. Seeing as how I usually read portions of it just before bed, there were nights I didn't sleep so well, but it was well worth the lost sleep. I had a hard time putting it down to keep up with the other (non-fictional) reading that needed to get done.

    Steven James is an author to watch. The Pawn begins a phenomenal series. You are on the edge of your seat and cannot wait to turn the page. Very well written. The plot pulls you in and won't let go. Can't wait to read future books!
