The Land of Empty Houses edition by John L Moore Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I found the book to be different and intriguing. It is an interesting story of life in the western US after apocalyptic events have drastically altered the world. The development of the 2 main characters, Daniel and Deborah certainly kept my interest. And the addition of the dog, Dunamis added a comforting, warming touch to the harsh story setting. I'd been looking for a Christian based story with a twist, and this certainly met that desire.
John L. Moore, The Land of Empty Houses (Broadman and Holman, 1998)
I haven't yet figured out whether to be amused, intrigued, or distressed by this book. The distress is minimal, but there; anyone even remotely familiar with the white power movement is likely to have alarm bells going off in their heads when reading this (especially Moore's sporadic referrals to the Zionist Occupied Government, an almost ubiquitous term among with white power crowd). We'll give Mr. Moore the benefit of the doubt and assume he, and his many rave reviewers are naïve to the present connotations of the term.
The Land of Empty Houses is set in post-plague Middle America sometime in the twenty-first century. Daniel, an AWOL Ranger, and Robert, a ZOG-employed assassin, hunt one another over the landscape. Daniel learns from an insane acquaintance that a pretty-eyed woman named Deborah is looking for him. She finds him soon enough, and asks him to guide her to the various tribes that haunt the wasteland now known as the Interior. She is a missionary, a healer, an evangelist, and basically the last Christian west of the Mississippi. Their journey, and how it affects Daniel, is the meat of the novel.
As I've come to expect from Christian fiction, the message greatly overwhelms the medium far too many times. Which is something of a shame, because Moore spins himself a fine adventure yarn when he gets going. The book is an easy read, the characters are well-drawn (though Daniel, for all his not being willing to either search his own soul or ask questions about Deborah's mission, seems a little too lucid for his own character), and the pacing is letter perfect. Once you reconcile the idea with the setting-and really, the healer bringing her gifts to the great unwashed is a pretty common fantasy figure-the book has the potential to become an above-average futuristic fantasy. It should be obvious to the well-rounded reader of Christian fiction that it's possible to write a good fantasy novel and still get one's evangelical point across (C.S. Lewis' trilogy that begins with Out of the Silent Planet is an obvious example). Moore, like the vast majority of writers both amateur and professional, is unconvinced of this. He is determined that subtlety is lost on the masses, and in order to get his point across, he must wrap it around a week-old fish stew and hit us in the face with it. Repeatedly.
Despite the excess of evangelism (which despite the above does confine itself to a few pages at a time here and there), the book is, quite simply, a fun read. I wish I could say it makes you think, but it would prefer to do your thinking for you. If you're looking for good Christian allegory that's exceptionally presented, you're better off with Lewis, Mauriac, or even Tolkein; if you want to turn your brain off and relax a while, and can allow the evangelism to roll off your back, Moore's just the ticket for a good adventure tale. ** ½
Excellent read course I have been a fan of John Moore for sometime now!!!
Over the years I have read and reread this book, living in it for weeks at a time.
Have given it as a gift several times.... What a help it has been to my Christian walk....
John, does a nice job of weaving together the internal questions of the afterlife with symbolic expression and as always the tapestry is made in the Montana landscape he knows so well. I really enjoyed the read.
Great book with a hidden message.
This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I have read this book. Each time I see something new and gain more insight. The first time I read through pretty quickly because I couldn't wait to see the ending which had a twist I hadn't anticipated. I see prophecy in it but whether there is or not it is worth the read. Or even several.
