Bottom-line: If you are a sci-fi fan, buy this novel. If you are a Christian or not, this time bending, roller coaster ride is not to be missed! And you might find yourself thinking about God in the process.
I came across this book when I was scoping out Lulu as a possible place to publish the novel I co-authored, Secret of the Sands. The cover of Didymus caught my eye, then I was intrigued by the story itself, then seeing the blurb by James Rollins (one of my favorite authors!) sealed the deal & I bought the book. I was not disappointed!! It really elevated Lulu in my eyes, gave me faith in the process, and hope for future BIG publishing deals. Jeremy - you are an inspiration as an author!!
Best wishes for a stellar writing career!!

This sort of book should finally put paid to the nonsense talked about self publishing being 'second best'.
Well done!
It has a good plot, which drives you through the story, and is on a theme that would normally not be of interest to me - BUT - it was so well structured that the narrative carried me along without any problems.
Nice ending - more to come?
It deals with the central point in time,and is a great book end to my own book Eva-Christ, which deals with the "End-Times."
Great job Jeremy Robinson!
"The Didymus Contingency" is a time-travel adventure first and foremost. While it is a Christian thriller as well, it should be highly entertaining to anyone except those who are blatantly turned off by the ideals of Christianity, as the book's plot does center around these concepts and beliefs.
But the story isn't preachy, and it gives both the perspectives of both a true believer, and a non-believer as well. The science aspects are well developed, though not the primary focus, and the overall plot is very good. There were times when I found myself wanting David and Tom to be a bit more serious about the dangerous and frightening situations they found themselves in, but admittedly, the interaction between these two characters, during both good and bad times, is what really drives the story.
Mr. Robinson also did an excellent job of bringing Jesus and his disciples to life, depicting them as not overly dramatic Shakespearian actors, but as real, living beings. And yet throughout the author makes it clear that Jesus is no less divine because of his physical humanity.
"The Didymus Contingency" is uniquely told Christian thriller, and there seemed to be the hint that more of these adventures are yet to come. And I for one can't wait to read them.
- Gregory Bernard Banks, author
It was a very clear premise, and even though the story jumps back and forward quite a bit it is very easy to follow and it is done very well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to most people who enjoy fiction, not just Science Fiction fans.
Well done.
THANK YOU!!!
What a great job! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book and was hooked from the very first chapter. I was sad when I finished reading it because I just wanted to read more and didn’t want it to end. Loved the characters and how you interweaved them through time. Can’t wait for the movie! Good luck on your future sales. You are a very talented writer, and I am looking forward to your future novels.
