Blurb:
Sophie and her friends have been captured and held prisoner for the purpose of obtaining intelligence they do not have. They have been burned, tortured, and abused for days right after having everything that they have ever known destroyed and taken away from them. They discover from a prophecy that mysteriously appeared to them in the night that they are destined to escape. Motivated with determination and purpose, they must develop a plan for freedom. What they don’t know is that past all the dangerous guards and the unsurpassable escape route is a surprise that will change their lives forever. Djanée loves writing songs, novels, poetry and singing. Her Christian faith is the cornerstone of her life. Inspired by the action and the adrenaline from three separate dreams in one night, what began as a mini-story on a few sheets of loose-leaf paper evolved into the digital writing of an 800 plus word story. The thrillers and twists in the story surprised her, and the different elements in the story wound up melding together flawlessly as though planned. Realizing this had to be more than happenstance she felt led to publish her book, which has become a series.
Review
More Than Conquerors: On the Run by DJanée is an energetic and highly imaginative work of Christian speculative fiction, blending sci-fi, action, and faith themes into a fast-paced, futuristic narrative. At its heart, this is a story about perseverance, belief, and survival against overwhelming odds that’s a clear reflection of the author’s intent to fuse entertainment with deeper spiritual resonance.
The world-building is ambitious: a futuristic society layered with danger, advanced technology, and oppressive systems. Yet, at the core of it all is faith, which is presented not as a preachy addition but as an organic part of the characters’ journey. Author DJanée’s writing captures the urgency of the chase, the desperation of her characters, and the resilience required to keep moving forward, even when the world seems intent on crushing them.
What worked well for me was the sheer momentum of the narrative. There’s rarely a dull moment; the plot races along with the same relentless energy as its protagonists, who are constantly on the run, battling not only physical adversaries but their own doubts and fears as well.
However, at times, the execution wobbles slightly and some parts feel overwritten, certain characters could benefit from more depth, and the pacing occasionally sacrifices clarity for speed. That said, the message shines through: faith can be the anchor in the most turbulent of storms.
I’d recommend this book for readers who enjoy speculative fiction infused with faith, action, and a strong sense of purpose. Think of it as a futuristic spiritual thriller with heart.
