Dark Hearted, Book Two of The COIL Series by D.I. Telbat, continues with the suspense that began in Book One, Dark Liaison, A Christian Suspense Novel.
The Commission of International Laborers' mission is interrupted, and they are once again targeted by a dark enemy bent on hatred and racism. COIL founder, Corban Dowler, has developed commando-style teams who use non-lethal weapons to extract threatened servants of the Lord from danger zones worldwide. Corban now musters all of his resources to search for his abducted operatives, and hopes to stop the evil intentions of the one they know as Abaddon.
A biochemical weapon is about to change the world, and COIL may be the catalyst—unless their brazen courage and boldness in Christ can change the tide. Where death seems indestructible, Corban Dowler's operatives carry God's love and determination into the midst of the darkness.
Encrypted data finds its way to Corban from Karol Ngolsk in Romania, offering a glimmer of hope. Corban then leads the COIL team through a maze of intrigue and surprises, abductions and persecution, joy and sorrow, love and death—from the grim forests of Europe, to the blistering desert of Africa. Though killing is not COIL's way, the dark hearted one has no such qualms . . .
Dark Hearted by D.I. Telbat, with cover design by Streetlight Graphics, is a 75,000-word Christian fiction, action-suspense novel, and continues the adventure as COIL carries on with the Lord's work to protect and rescue His people. And we learn again . . . there is no redemption without sacrifice.
Included in Dark Hearted is a Castle Map download, Endnotes of ministries serving the Persecuted Church, and a BONUS Chapter from Dark Rule, Book Three in The COIL Series. The COIL Series is a 2016 Recipient of the Redemptive Fiction Award of Excellence.
"Telbat Delivers Again. Uplifting, Inspiring, Sobering, Entertaining and God Honouring."—Peter Younghusband of Christian Fiction Reviews
"Dark Hearted, the second book in D.I. Telbat's COIL Series, ranks right along with the first…captivating from the beginning… Whether bringing you to tears or keeping you on the edge of your seat, each chapter will have you breathless for more."—Allison H., U.S.
DARK HEARTED COIL Book 2 edition by DI Telbat Religion Spirituality eBooks
This is the third book in this COIL series that I have read and I am loving every minute of them. I don't think I could get tried of this series or its themes of Christian special ops rescuing persecuted Christians as despite this being similar in other novels or in real life (special ops rescuing those kidnapped/captured, not necessarily due to their faith but for any reason that their captors feel they are a threat to their nefarious schemes), it is especially relevant in Christian circles as the Bible states that once you have a relationship with Christ, you will suffer persecution just for accepting His gift of salvation.I may have stated in a previous review of a COIL novel that this series is not the only series in this topic of rescuing persecuted Christians or those in a persecuted Church. I am very glad to see authors apart from Telbat, such as Martin Roth and Lela Gilbert tackle this reality head on and portray what it is like for the persecuted Christian Church and Christians and the severity of such just for believing in Christ. We in the western world do not experience such persecution to this degree, but it seems to be growing as seen by prayer/bible verse reading is removed from schools, testimonies are not based on swearing on the bible in court, society being indoctrinated to accept everything and anything as long as it does not align with the Bible, Christianity or God and now punishment is being metered out to those who adhere to the latter. There are many novels written by Christian authors depicting the future where Christianity and everything that is associated with it is banned and anyone who shows any sympathy or adherence to it is imprisoned or murdered.
I have noticed that Telbat seems to explore more of the motive and the rationale for this persecution in his novels than the aforementioned authors. I, by not means, suggest that this is a criticism of Roth and Gilbert. I thoroughly enjoyed and have been blessed by these two authors and the reality of persecution of Christians and their Church that they have successfully and convincingly depict. Telbat's deeper exploration adds up to a very fast paced novel but also adds to the suspense and showcases the commitment to the call of Christ to the Great Commission and to not allow the enemies of Christ to have their way with God's people. All three authors depict correctly what this motivation is, spiritual warfare, however, let us not confuse this latter term with many novels of this genre (which I love), where it is based on the fight between angles and demons. In all Telbat's novels, this spiritual warfare is specifically depicted based on intercessory prayer, supplication and relying on God and His Spirit to guide, protect and seek direction in how to thwart the attempts of those who, out of hatred, bitterness, rebellion against God and under either demonic oppression or possession, desire to eradicate Christianity and everything to do with God.
I admire how successful Telbat portrays the discipline, submission, and obedience of the COIL team in relation to their relationship with God, yet portray them as relational and very human. If Telbat had depicted this team as super-spiritual and not relational as people, this series would fall flat on its face and readers would not be able to relate it as it as well as he has and would come across as unrealistic and fantasy based and removed from any sense of reality. Entertaining yes, but empowering to the Christian reader to appreciate the persecution of our Christian brethren in the real world and pray for them, most likely not. There is enough Christians unempowered and ignorant of this issue without an author adding to this by failing to depict the reality of this persecution and its causes in their novels. I cannot put Telbat in this latter category, neither Roth nor Gilbert. This is very uplifting and definitely strengthens my faith in God and appreciate more the reality of what Christ meant in portraying the persecution Christians will experience now and in the latter days.
I must say that I wish I had read this instalment sooner or immediately after reading the previous novel as this one follows on from this as a continuation and I could not remember some of the details of Dark Liaison but then this is exactly the situation for those readers who have read each instalment as it was released. The joy of discovering novels like this after they have all been released! I am glad now that I am reading all these one after the other as I feel this is the best way to appreciate a series like this, but that does not help the author as they need reviews as each book is released not solely at the end of the completed series. However, such a comment from any reader is still an affirmation for an author's work and this is very appropriate for Telbat as an author.
This instalment continues the standard that Telbat has instigated in this series and I can see that this is not going to abate. He simply cannot afford to with a serious and powerful message and topic such as the Great Commission and persecution against Christians. This is very evident in the plot structure, characterisation and depiction of the cause of this persecution which makes for great suspense and action, and it is here that this series shines and delivers its powerful message.
I loved how in this instalment it shows an unbeliever (June) exactly what the COIL team go through in combating persecution from the Biblical point of view while simultaneously showing her the love of Christ through their actions in their special ops methods and also her seeing first hand this persecution as it is without any bias from the COIL team. Through June, Telbat successfully portrays an unbeliever's point of view towards Christians and the turmoil they experience as the Spirit of God begins to soften their heart towards Him leading to their decision to accept His offer of salvation (June during and after their mission). This is a strategic plot structure on Telbat's part as I feel it balances out this spiritual warfare and shows it is not just a battle between Christians who are sold out for God against those who are sold out for satan. It is those unbelievers caught in the middle that the Great Commission exists and it is here that Telbat shows the power of the Gospel to salvation.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and being back with the COIL team.

DARK HEARTED COIL Book 2 edition by DI Telbat Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
After reading DARK Liaison, I didn't think the 2nd book would be comparable, but I was wrong. D.I. Telbat did it again. This book is just as thrilling as the first. It kept you guessing who Abaddon was. (I guessed wrong). This book shows what men of faith are capable of doing with the help of God. While waiting to storm a castle to rescue their own men as well as all who are being held in a dungeon and being experimented on (In the book, they said this doctor made Josef Mengeles look like a good guy), they fly off to help starving people in the Sudan receive a shipment of food.
Again, this is an excellent book and can't wait until Book III in the COIL Series comes out.
I must say that Dark Hearted was a great read! After reading Dark Liaison, I was looking forward to the next in the COIL series, and Dark Hearted did not disappoint at all! The story had a lot of action-packed moments and held my attention. I found the characters great and, the some sad moments make the book more believable.
I really enjoyed this book and indeed am looking forward to reading the next COIL novel, Dark Rule. If you like good, clean, suspenseful reads, then I recommend Dark Hearted, but I do recommend readng book one first.

I had read "Dark Liasion" and enjoyed it, so I figured I'd try this novel by D.I. Telbat and found it to be better than the first. This story really kept me on the edge of my seat, a real page turner, It ended with a couple of twists, and I love twists. I hate reading a novel and spending my time to read it when I can figure out what's going to happen before hand, I did find this somewhat predictable, but not really worth mentioning. Anyone who enjoys spy novels I believe would like this one. I also have a spot in my heart for persecuted Christians throughout the world, so the subject matter is close to my heart. This is a very reasonable costing book for the many thrills. I recommend it highly.
When I read a novel, I usually get so into the book that I have difficulty putting it down. I truly appreciate good quality Christian fiction, particularly that which inspires me in my faith. Similarly, I have a disdain for predictable, lame, or unrealistic writing. Unfortunately, when I find an author like D.I Telbat, my insatiable apetite must now wait for his next book. DARK HEARTED, like DARK LIASONS, was an easy to read, edge of your seat book that I devoured in about a day, and would recommend to anyone.
This is the second book regarding C.O.I.L., Corban Dowler into the story line and his crew of Christian Mercenaries. I really got into the decisions of the gas darts and forms of self defense instead of straight out violence. This is a refreshing read and nowhere have I found a decision for "necessary" violence being the means to an end. I enjoyed discovering new antagonists and Corban's decisions to be a witness to them. It even surprised that he really put forth the heart of a believer when dealing with the enemies of the Gospel. A good solid read, a lot of surprises and a definite solid addition to your library!
I have purchased the Coil series as they came off the press. Don't just buy one you will want all of the coil series. I have read the series each winter for the last three years. It is always enjoyable to reread. I love the characters that D I Telbat invents. Sometimes the characters seem like old friends. Good Christian ethics throughout each book of the series. A great fictional read with the real truth about Christian suffering and oppression around the world. You will not regret getting the entire series because you will want to go from one to the next without having to wait. Thanks for the great stories and characters D I Telbat.
