Editorial Reviews

Review

A first rate thriller, taken from today's headlines. Noteworthy first effort. -- A. Reed, Project Services Group, October 20, 2002


Product Description

The conflicts of the past, come to plague the present, as ancient forces of religion, and science clash, in the sleepy community of Westfall. The ultimate victim in this battle, may be humanity. The prize these forces seek, is nothing less than control of the human mind. For generations, the mysterious Society has worked toward this single goal, using the religious cabal, the Congregation, as it’s foot soldiers. Now, the Congregation has plans of it’s own, revenge. As these two forces are propelled toward a final showdown, violence flares, threatening the lives of the inhabitants, and the country. Local attorney, James Ellis is drawn into this battle, when he impulsively tries to save the life of a child one night, wondering in the local cemetery. His actions catapult him into the center of the conflict, a maze of revenge, and murder. From the moment he acts, his life, and his world are changed forever. The quiet town, has become a battle field. Desperately, he searches for answers, and a way to stop the violence. The truth, ultimately revealed to him, is not what he expected, or was prepared to accept.

5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent new novel, November 20, 2002
By debra Adams (seattle, WA (USA)) - See all my reviews
An excellent novel, of the growing dispute between church and state, the scientific state. Setting the novel in Pennsylvania with it's rich religous history was ideal. The development of juvenile law principles, and the rising use of behavior modifying drugs in this system is timely. Cudos to this author for being brave enough to say so.

5.0 out of 5 stars a look into the future, November 21, 2002
By "pert12045" (seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
A candid look into the future as this conflict grows. Religon and science are the two giants of civilized mankinds mental and social discourse. The continuing conflict is something which involves all of us. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful peice of allegory, November 21, 2002
By John Sergars (A well rounded reader) - See all my reviews
The use of people to personify the forces of religon and science was well done. I especially liked the charecter of Thomas. He adds a magical quality to the book.
