The future changes in the BLINK of an eye...or does it? Seth Borders isn't your average graduate student. For starters, he has one of the world's highest IQs. Now he's suddenly struck by an incredible power--the ability to see multiple potential futures. Still reeling from this inexplicable gift, Seth stumbles upon a beautiful woman named Miriam. Unknown to Seth, Miriam is a Saudi Arabian princess who has fled her veiled existence to escape a forced marriage of unimaginable consequences. Cultures collide as they're thrown together and forced to run from an unstoppable force determined to kidnap or kill Miriam. Seth's mysterious ability helps them avoid capture once, then twice. But with no sleep, a fugitive princess by his side, hit men a heartbeat away, and a massive manhunt steadily closing in, evasion becomes impossible. An intoxicating tale set amidst the shifting sands of the Middle East and the back roads of America, Blink engages issues as ancient as the earth itself...and as current as today's headlines.… (altro)

I am on quite the Dekker kick. I like his stuff. A genius[IQ of 190 and Einstein was 165'ish] suddenly starts being able to see the possible futures. At the same time, a Saudi princess is embroiled in the schemes to overthrow the current king and install a hardline Muslim. Their paths converge and God is shown to be the One True God. A little romance, a little action, a little intrigue and a little worldwide action, and this is what you get. Thoroughly enjoyable. ( )

Dekkerille tyypillinen sekoitus jännitystä, yliluonnollisia tapahtumia ja uskonasioita. Erinomaista viihdettä, mutta myös mielenkiintoinen katsaus kristinuskon ja islamin eroihin ja yhtäläisyyksiin. ( )

Gripping book. Features escaping from arranged marriages in Saudi Arabia, great chases in various places, someone seeing potential futures, an attempted coup, and God who answers prayer. Excellent. ( )

More than anything, I really loved the concept behind this book. It was about prayer and trust and questioning God’s omnipitence. Made me think quite a bit about the nature of God and how His view of the future might look and how that affects free will. The writing was very fast-paced, with a bunch of chase scenes broken up by scenes of people planning chases. Every now and again the writing was a little clunky, but it worked for the most part. The whole thing felt a little cliched and overdone, but I had to remind myself that it was written seven years ago, before the books-about-Islam craze really hit its fever pitch. I liked both the characters and thought they actually had quite a bit of chemistry, which seems to be lacking in a lot of more action-packed books. I also learned a bit about Saudi Arabia, of which I knew next to nothing about before I read this. Now I know whatever the next step up from next to nothing is.
