These Nameless Things

These Nameless Things By Shawn Smucker Dan is waiting for the brother he left behind. Adam went back while he and the others escaped the torture and captivity that they had existed in on the mountain. Now those that have not continued on, live in the shadow of the mountain. Life is simple and uncluttered but their memories of before are just not there. But everything is about to change when a stranger stumbles out of the edges of the mountain. Memories start to awaken among the survivors and Dan is troubled with what he knows and what he is remembering. But Dan isn't the only one who has started to remember and the memories all seem to have a person in common. These Nameless Things is a book that makes you stop and take notice. There is an underlying spiritual thread throughout that the reader follows to the end. I had suspicions as to where this was headed but that in no way detracted from the reading experience. This is the fourth book I've read by Shawn Smucker and I have yet to be disappointed in what he has put forth. All his books have been in the Speculative Fiction genre and well worth reading. This one focuses on guilt and forgiveness. What will one do to protect the ones one loves? And what of the consequences? These are matters most people will face, These Nameless Things presented all of these in a way that captured and held this reader's attention from the first page until the end. If you like Ted Dekker or James L. Rubart you will most likely enjoy These Nameless Things. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations.
