Title: Retribution Author: Randall Ingermanson Publisher: Zondervan ISBN: 0-310-24707-1 Genre: Inspirational/Sci-Fi/Biblical Fiction Premonition was the first Randall Ingermanson book I had read. Retribution followed fast on its heels. I liked Premonition, but I loved Retribution. Premonition had Rivka Meyers, a Messianic Jew, and her husband Ari Kazan, an Israeli physicist, trapped back in time to 57 A.D. Retribution jumps ahead in years, now at 66 A.D., and life in Jerusalem is no bed of roses for the Jews, or the fledging Christian church. Our heroine, Rivka, knows the trouble ahead, but will anyone listen to her? Ari faces his own problems, as Jewish zealots demand he help them in producing weapons for war against Rome. But even with the knowledge of what is to come, can Rivka successfully warn those around her of the coming danger? The characterisations in this book are fantastic. Ingermanson has created a wonderful supporting cast for Rivka and Ari. At times they threaten to outshine the leads. The plot is wonderfully executed with enough twists to keep you guessing what will come next. A wonderful book that leaves me eager for the next.
