The strength of Beast lies in the development and interaction of its well-written characters that make us feel the danger, heat, exhaustion, and exhilaration as the story speeds towards its roller coaster climax. The characters are instantly relatable and tackle challenges with full knowledge of their mortality in the face of overwhelming odds. Fast-paced and firing on all cylinders, Mark Carver and Michael Anatra have created a realistic portrayal of a super machine that turns on its creators and crew in the most explosive of ways. Get a Copy Today!īeast is one monster of an action thriller. I’m telling ya’, to read it is to love it! Mark Carver’s Beast. Carver did such an excellent job I felt like this place was real, like Carver himself had been there and interviewed people, its great!īut this is an exciting story about love, self-sacrifice and how God, in his complete understanding, finds a way for what we love to continue through our faith in Him. I loved how life on the platform is described. These days people on the Left would say that’s politically incorrect, people on the Right would reach for smelling salts.
Kyle even thinks thoughts of his wife while he’s out living on the Beast to the point of arousal. I can’t get specific without giving things away, but trust me, he’s not running all over the platform handing out tracts and sharing the four spiritual laws. And when we do find out the depth of closeness Kyle has with his Creator, the context is completely believable. He does the things you would expect such a man to do. And that’s just a few of the ways Carver uses to ‘show’ and not ‘tell’ the reader that this is a spiritual man. He’s willing to do what it takes to look after his family and he shows respect to the people around him and isn’t afraid to lend a hand as needed.
This one is in the Pacific Northwest, it is platform MFEC-19, aka: the Beast. His wife is sick with cancer, forcing Kyle to take the dangerous job of working as a derrick hand on a drilling platform. Kyle Hamilton, the tales protagonist, has a lot on his plate. In fact, I might even score a coffee and donut.īut Beast is not like that. Why? Well, how do I say this nicely? Because if I wanted to hear three verses, sing a hymn and listen to your basic social sermon, I could go to any one of a hundred churches and do that for free.
Before reading Mark Carver’s novel, Beast, I had taken a long hiatus from reading Christian books and stories.
