Can one man’s search for justice stand up to the forces of evil threatening to destroy him? A shocking murder drags black newspaper columnist Clarence Abernathy into the disorienting world of inner-city gangs and racial conflict. In a desperate hunt for answers to the violence (and to his own struggles with race and faith), Clarence forges an unlikely partnership with redneck detective Ollie Chandler. Despite their differences, Clarence and Ollie soon find themselves sharing the same mission: victory over the forces of darkness vying for dominion. Filled with insight—and with characters so real you’ll never forget them—Dominion is a dramatic story of spiritual searching, racial reconciliation, and hope.

"Second in a series of three books by Randy Alcorn, "Deadline" and "Deception" being the other two, I highly recommend reading all three. Randy is a writer of Christian literature, but for those of you who may be turned off by the label "Christian literature", this series of three books will entertain you as suspenseful thrillers on their own merit. The Christian aspect is present, but subtle, and will not interfere with your enjoyment of three good thrillers. Randy does not write his fiction with an "in your face" presentation of his Christianity, but simply incorporates it as a real-life component in the lives of many people, several of whom happen to play a role in these books. Brought together by tragic circumstances, the two main characters are a police detective and a newspaper columnist. At first they circle each other like a pair of dogs trying to determine which should be the dominant one, but that soon evolves into a strong friendship by which they are able to deal with some major crises. Murder, gang violence, drugs, drive-by shootings, etc, are the real focuses (foci?) of these three companion volumes, and those issues are well researched and well presented by Randy Alcorn. I strongly recommend all three books to fans of detective thrillers, as well as people who enjoy Christian fiction." — Grampy (4 out of 5 stars)

" The ending was rushed, but a worthy sequel to Deadline. "
" It kind of a slow read. I hope it picks up. "
" We read as a family (editing)Exciting suspenseful some content is not suitable for children. "
" This book was too violent for my liking. "
" I was excited to read this after Deadline. Alcorn's characters are so convincing! I was especially intrigued by the spiritual warfare. "
" Don't particularly care for it so far... "
" absolutely loved the book. only thing that really bugged me was the bad editing!!! The subject matter of racism through the various cultural aspects was eye-opening. Seeing both dominions - this world and the other worlds - hell & heaven. Amazing! Looking forward to the next book - Deception. "
" Love that Ollie Chandler! "
" Outstanding Christian novel. Great images of Heaven. One of my favorite books of all time. "
" Loved this book. Again, Randy Alcorn has a way of weaving a mystery into issues affecting us today and making you think. This one dealt with racial issues and really helped me understand why African Americans think and feel the way they do. Loved it. "
" Great story offering a glimpse into the pressures of being a successful black man in America. "
" This book has a great message, and an eye opener on the influence of gangs on young inner-city teens; however, had trouble sifting through the "gang slang" to get the message, which is why I only gave this 3 stars... "
" I couldn't put this down! Don't let it's length intimidate you...it's great! "
" A definite recommend to those who like adventure & mystery with an inspirational twist. "
" Awesome story of inner city life and what Heaven may be like. "
" Good message but too heavy-handed in my opinion. "
" C. S. Lewis and former black slaves interact in heaven, while characters on earth resolve a mystery and find faith. What is not to like? "
" My favorite in this series, which seems to be unusual in my reading circle. I appreciate that Alcorn doesn't shy away from uncomfortable issues involving race and gang crimes, but doesn't wallow in their ugliness either. "
" Good story. Very wordy. Author brought in every one of his personal soapboxes and points of view. Didn't disagree with them, but might have read quicker and enjoyed it a bit more without all the editorial/educational input. "
" With some of the same characters as Deadline, Randy Alcorn produces another winner. Dealing with topics form racism to forgiveness, Deadline will grip your attention and change your mindsets. Highly recommended. "
" I don't cry much when reading. I did here. "
" Alcorn is one of my favorite authors. This one is 2nd in trilogy. "
" I love how the characters from Deadline are weaved in. Another great work bty Alcorn. "
" Brutal circumstance, blood, sweat, tears, and making it. Can hardly put it down. "
" This really opened up my eyes to the world of gangs and inner-city life. It also reignited the fire for spreading the gospel to people, before it's too late. Highly recommend! It does contain some content that may not be suitable for younger readers. I would recommend high schoolers and up. "
" I listened to this book on cd. EXCELLENT!!! i can't wait to read the next one!! "
" Read this first in the seris then went back to the first book and then the 3rd. All were good reads and held my attention. Love the way he weaves pictures of heaven into each of the stories. "
" The ongoing story from Deadline. "
" What we do in this life may well be continued into the next. "
