ABOUT THE BOOK:
Florida Department of Law Enforcement Agent Robbie Sanchez devotes her life to crime prevention, and it shows: She has no personal life and doesn’t know the meaning of a day off. After all, someone has to be around to clean up the mess crime leaves behind.
So when Officer Brad Worthington is brutally murdered, Agent Sanchez is called to the scene along with Brad’s best friend, Detective Eric Casey. The two turn to Lifetex, the genetics lab near the scene, hoping their elaborate security system might have captured the crime outside.
But what’s going on inside the lab is far worse: a renegade scientist is cloning humans! As Robbie and Eric pursue clues–and a growing attraction–they are caught in a deadly battle as the clones begin to act on their own volition…but this battle threatens to claim more than human life; the clones are vying for human souls.
The Void is nothing short of a page-turner. Mynheir is truly hitting his stride as one of our industry’s most notable Christian novelists. This latest book has it all: suspense, humor, intrigue, realistic police action, and one thought-provoking story line.

REVIEW :
I haven’t finished the book yet, but I’m definitely hooked by the plot. When that sheep was cloned years ago, who hadn’t thought a scenario like The Void, where humans were cloned. I’m anticipating not just continued physical conflict in the book, but the moral conflict as well.
At first I was surprised that the main character was female and the back cover seemed to suggest an impending romance. It’s hard for me to believe a male cop could get inside a woman’s head, and but Mynheir does a decent job of it. Plus, the details of police procedure add authenticity to the book, yet I guess it helps that a cop wrote the book!
I haven’t decided if this one is a keeper yet, but if you want it, feel free to leave your name in the comment section.
