Praise for Cloak of the LightThe invisible world gets a makeover in Chuck Blacks Cloak of the Light. Oftenreading like a thriller, this fresh take on the unseen inspires and entertains inequal measure. Reader of all ages will enjoy this one.Shannon Dittemore, author of the Angel Eyes trilogyBring on the battle! Cloak of Light is a journey you wont quickly forget. Angelsand demons clash in an epic story line laden with spiritual warfare. I lovedthis book.Heather Burch, author of Halfling seriesOver the last several years, my family and I have come to appreciate ChuckBlacks works, and Cloak of Light is no different. Cloak of Light is set in themodern world rather than the ancient times of the Kingdom Series. We havecome to expect two features from a Chuck Black work: allegory based inspiritual matters and illumination of the spiritual warfare that happens aroundus every day. Many young people long for adventure, and this book has it.What I appreciate most is that adventure and spiritual battle are presented ascommon rather than special. As Christians, our adventure is in living for ourLord, and this is what Chuck Black brings out so deftly in his allegories. Thisis a great book for all young people, especially young men.David Nunnery, Teach Them DiligentlyAbout the AuthorCHUCK BLACK,a former F-16 fighter pilot and tactical combat communications engineer, is the author of thirteen novels, including the popular Kingdom Series and The Knights of Arrethtrae series.

I was told about the series by another adult and so I bought all three books in the Wars of the Realm series. WHAT FUN!!! The author has a great imagination, or is it revelation. I finished the three book series in less than a week. A few days later I read all three books again. Chuck Black's descriptions of the angelic (spiritual) realm, while tying it to the plot's human characters on earth in today's world, tugs at the reader's own imagination challenging us to much reflection. I highly recommend the reader to get all three books and to read them in order. Good reading! Have fun!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy meet spiritual warfareBy AliceBrilliant. Literary genius at it's best - Chuck Black has come up with a plot so intricate and well thought out, and yet it directly concerns what's going on right now in our society regarding good and evil - we should all be aware of this stuff! Chuck Black has such a way of describing things- specifically fight sequences (which this book is full of!) -that is really easy to follow and creates an accurate mental picture; unlike so many suspense novels where I get totally confused trying to follow the characters actions on my mental "television screen".**Spoiler** This is one of the only Christian books I have read where by the end the main character still has not accepted Christ as their Savior. Also- there was NO closure! Everything was left open and Drew still has barely any answers to what he's been working on the entire time; and there are some characters that you've kind of lost track of that are a big part of the story. These things didn't bother me, however, knowing that this is book 1 and that book 2 is in the works. So I didn't totally freak out- but it did come as a bit of a shock when I finished the book and realized all that I wasn't able to figure out. :PI didn't know how I'd like the book, having fallen so totally in love with Chuck Black's Medieval stories- and this is such a different setting. And yet- it wasn't. It was still the same style of writing and even had all the cool "cloak and dagger" stuff- literally! :DDrew and Sydney made a really great hero/heroine duo! They put me a little in mind of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy... but Drew Carter was way cooler!I highly recommend this to those who enjoy Christian suspense novels, and allegories. I would say it's a little intense for younger children, but this is great for teens- and I think adults would definitely enjoy it as well."It's wrong to do nothing when you have the power to do something."I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this honest review.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Encapsulating Story!By SeeKingI was warned not to purchase only one book ... I didn't listen and now I regret that decision. I should have been sleeping, but couldn't stop reading. There is no doubt in my mind that my 19 year old son will absolutely LOVE this book! I wouldn't recommend it for younger audiences but then again, with what children watch (and play) nowadays, this wouldn't come close to causing nightmares.Still, if you believe you've done a decent job of keeping the "boogeyman away," hold this for a few years because the imagery is that good. Unfortunately, I believe that I will finish the entire series long before the weekend begins and hope for more.
