Ishbane Conspiracy

I just finished a great book by author and pastor Randy Alcorn called the Ishbane Conspiracy. This book is the sequel to another book by Alcorn, Lord Foulgrin's Letter's. Both these books are written in novel form with every chapter followed by a letter either from a demon who who has been assigned to the characters in the book or a mentor demon. In the Ishbane conspiracy the letters are from a demoted Lord Foulgrin or Prince Ishbane, Foulgrin's mentor. The book mirrors the Screwtape Letters a little bit when the demons write to each other, only the letters are a lot easier to comprehend than those in the Screwtape Letters.
The book follows the lives of four friends, three of whom are seniors in high school and one of whom is a freshman in college. Two of the three high schoolers dabble in the occult, one of them is a christian in name only, and the college freshman is a strong christian. We follow these four as their lives take all sorts of twists and turns, some good and some bad.
This book was well written and exciting. If any of you have read any other books by Alcorn, liked the Screwtape Letters or are looking for an enjoyable read I highly suggest this book.
