Extended description

Two nuclear wars. Three asteroids. Demonic madness that kills one third of the world’s population. Into this, a savior will rise, cloned from Christ. It’s not fiction. It’s prophecy.

The Messiah of the New Age. His coming is prophesied by more than a dozen major religions. Cloned from live cells of Jesus Christ found on the Shroud of Turin, Christopher Goodman was born into the most turbulent time in human history. Mentored by former UN Assistant Secretary-General Robert Milner, Christopher rises in position and power, and displays remarkable wisdom and compassion. But through disjointed bits of dreams that sometimes haunt him, Christopher reveals significant troubling errors in the biblical record of Jesus’ life.

Soon the reason for Robert Milner’s interest in Christopher becomes clear: the world is about to undergo a time of destruction and chaos darker than any in history, with impending nuclear war merely a faint precursor. Milner explains that without Christopher, humanity will not long survive. Under Christopher’s leadership, however, mankind stands on the threshold of a final great evolutionary leap that will bestow on the human race god-like powers. This is the reason, Milner says, that Christopher was born.

In Israel, an unexpected threat to Christopher’s ascension is growing: two men, possessed of incredible supernatural powers, one claiming to be the 2000-year-old Apostle John, the other an apostate Hasidic rabbi named Saul Cohen. Together, the men lead an outlawed cult of 144,000 followers, each branded with the names Yahweh and Yeshua on their foreheads.

All are fulfilled in The Christ Clone Trilogy.

Review by: Susheel John on April 24, 2012 :
I have read this series twice and, now that it's been released as a ebook, I'm going to read it again. Over the years, there have been many books/series written concerning the end of the world, both in mainstream and Christian publishing. I've read some of the so-called "end times" fiction that has come out in the Christian market as well.

I must say that TCCT (The Christ Clone Trilogy) is, by far, the most technically-rich of the lot. Beauseigneur manages to link technology with what the Bible says in a very fresh way that makes it believable. And the basic premise of the Christ-clone is not outside the realms of imagination. Although some of the stuff in the series are improbable, they are quite possible. I guess this is what makes it a good read.

I would recommend the series for those who are a little more technically-inclined. You might also find it interesting if you know your Bible (e.g How do you prove a man is a Jew or a Moslem? Why, you pull down his pants of course! - read the book and you'll know what I am talking about.)

Having said this, I would include a caveat in this review - bear in mind that this is a fictional series and not to be taken as a basis for any theological conclusions. For that - look to the Scriptures. :)

In any case, I'm quite sure that, once you've read the 1st book, you'll want to read the 2nd and 3rd installments too.
