“Hancock’s intense debut is an
excellent…edgy contribution to the genre…” |

A 2003 Christy Award Winner! “The genuinely enthralling mix
of adventure, romance, and vivid imagery fused with spiritual symbolism invites
readers to lose themselves in Hancock’s imaginary world… engrossing and
well-paced. |

Plagued by fear and disillusionment, Callie Hayes volunteers for a psychology experiment that promises to turn her life around. Unnerved by the mounting evasiveness of the research workers, however, she soon changes her mind and asks to be released from the project. To her horror, the workers refuse, dropping her instead into a terrifying alien world amidst an ongoing battle between good and evil. With limited resources and only a few cryptic words to guide her, she embarks on a journey that will change her life forever. Will she decipher the plans the Benefactor has established for her escape, or will she succumb to the deception of the Arena? “In evangelical
fiction’s best science fiction of the year, Hancock works out a progression
of faith by trial somewhat like Pilgrim’s Progress. But she departs from the conventions of allegory to draw her
characters in depth, and the flora and fauna of her arid alien landscape are
carefully thought through.”
