Reviews"A progression of faith by trial somewhat like Pilgrim's Progress... [Hancock's] theological argument, while certainly Christian, is quite subtle... She can take her place in the wave of fine science fiction coming from evangelical presses these days." -- Booklist, "When other books are long forgotten and out of print, I believe people will still be reading Arena. It's destined to be a classic." -- Rene Gutteridge, author of Ghost Writer, "An allegory for the third millennium! If you liked Pilgrim's Progress and The Matrix, then you'll love Arena." -- Randall Ingermanson, co-author of Oxygen, "A classic in the making for the modern era, with appeal for fans of C.S. Lewis and Kathy Tyers, this is required for all collections." -- Library Journal, "Karen Hancock's intense story is an excellent though edgy contribution to the genre." -- Publishers Weekly, "Through vibrant description and well-paced action, Karen Hancock creates a compelling world of both horror and hope. Arena gives Christian fantasy lovers something to cheer about." -- Brandilyn Collins, bestselling author of Eyes of Elisha, "The genuinely enthralling mix of adventure, romance, and vivid imagery fused with spiritual symbolism invites readers to lose themselves in Hancock's imaginary world... engrossing and well-paced." -- Christianity Today, "Arena sets a benchmark for contemporary allegory--thoroughly imagined, intelligently written, and as vivid as last night's unsettling dreams. Well done!" -- Kathy Tyers, author of the Firebird series, Star Wars: Balance Point, and Star Wars: Truce at Bakura
