5.0 out of 5 stars
A fitting conclusion to an excellent trilogy, 28 Jun 2008
This is a great read, and a fitting conclusion to the Lamb Among the Stars series. I'm immensely impressed that the author has managed to write a sci-fi series that is intriguing, thoughtful, compelling, all centred around the Christian faith. There is no sign of our contemporary Christian jargon, no cringe-worthy artificial dialogue. Faith is central, natural and intelligently portrayed across all aspects of society. Likewise, the technology is convincing and naturally integrated into the story, without unnecessary references to the inner workings of every hyperphasersonicposifissionfusionthingy.
We are thrust straight in where "The Dark Foundations" left off, and taken on quite a ride. The characters have new challenges to face, both external and internal, and both sets of challenges are very much at a higher level. The fight against evil is not an easy one, and continues right to the very end. We are pulled along with it, willing our heroes on, despairing where they falter or go the wrong way, thrilled when they succeed. The story is very much out of this world, but at the same time with its feet on the ground.
The book ends well. I'll just say it wasn't exactly what I was expecting when I got there!

A Remarkable and Exciting Work of Science Fiction, 5 Oct 2008
I have just finished reading 'The Infinite Day',the third volume in this remarkable series. The story starts slowly in the first volume, set on a distant planet thousands of years in the future. In this last volume it builds up to a vast inter-planetery conflict between good and evil. I found myself totally engrossed in the lives of a group of unprepared people who find their lives turned upside-down as they face dark powers who will stop at nothing in their aims of conquest.The 'Lamb among the Stars' series is a must-read, but you obviously need to start by reading Vol 1 'The Shadow and the Night'

It Grew on me., 4 May 2009
I am writing a while after I finished the volume, so do not refer to detail. However, I was glad, at long last, to get my hands on the volume as I had waited so long for it to be published. My local book seller & I had come to the conclusion the author didn't know how to finish his story which first appeared in 2002 with the "Shadow at Evening", or perhaps he had died! But it was well worth waiting for.
Fortunately now anyone wishing to read "The Infinite Day" is able to read right through this exciting and well written story of Space Warfare at two different levels, the physical and the spiritual, by reading first, the two re-structured volumes, namely,
"The Shadow and Night" and "The Dark Foundations".
Set some 10,000 years into the future, Chris Walley has done well in bridging the historical gap and the story begins on a far-off man planted "Made" world where the gripping story of the battle between good and evil begins in the gentlest of situations. The story develops rapidly, includes dramatic battles against almost unbeatable krallen, space travel through 'below space' and reaches a climax in "The Infinite Day" in the defeat of the Dominion on The Blade of Night and on Earth itself.
Anyone who enjoyed "Empyrion" would love these three books by C.Walley.
Fast moving, always the un-expected and up-holding "The Lamb's" way as finally unbeatable. A really great read. Thank you Chris.
