Book Description

August 2, 2000
A well-heeled extremist group is bent on taking over America and establishing a theocracy. The inner circle of this organization call themselves The Apostles. After disappointing political failures, they employ computer scientists to hijack the Internet and secretly introduce mind control over Web browsers.

While covering a tent revival meeting in a small New England town, Joe Salvatore, a local reporter, inadvertently discovers a document that tips him off about The Apostles and their diabolical plot. While the forces of evil have a field day in cyberspace -- and in American politics -- Salvatore tries to derail The Apostles, but finds himself thwarted at every turn.

The author is a licensed private investigator and an expert on extremist organizations. He lives in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts and New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Acts of the Apostles, November 8, 2000
By 
This review is from: Acts of the Apostles (Hardcover)
In Acts of the Apostles, Manchester's viewpoint on fundies is as accurate as it is entertaining. Having been a fundamentalist for years, I recognized the power-hungry leaders of the church in this book. There's a good bit of satire as well as suspense in this story, which builds to a great ending. I wish fundies would read this and get a view of how their actions look from the other side. And although it seems quite scary, much of this story could happen, and would if the fundies could get by with it. It has been said that "fiction is the lie that tells the TRUTH." This is GREAT FICTION!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I read this book!, August 18, 2000

Randy Thomas (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acts of the Apostles (Paperback)
As a gay man, this is one frightening book and I'm glad it's just fiction (I hope), because we can't afford to lose the freedom we have in America. Acts of the Apostles had just enough comic relief to allow me to sleep at night. As a child I, too, attended a fundamentalist church, and this book rang true with me. God bless the author.
