The case he takes on clashes with the local police who are investigating a string of mutilations and gruesome deaths. With the clues piling up, it appears that an apocalyptic religious order may be responsible for these heinous acts.

As the stakes rise with each passing day, the mystery grows to one of international proportions. Will Blake succumb to his inner demon, or can he decipher the true meaning of what he faces before it is too late?

A word from the author:
---------------------------

"The Redemption Sect" is a purposeful departure from my previously published nonfictional memoirs, which are often described as "easy reads" that are lighthearted and funny.

This book is none of that.

I wrote this novel as an adult themed allegory, one that some will find disturbing. It is designed to challenge the reader and to make them think, all the while entertaining with a dark storyline. Although this book does not promote any particular ideology, it does contain a message, as all allegories do.

After reading through the completed first draft, my editor told me that she could not stop thinking about the images that leapt from its pages, some of them unsettling her for days.

To be clear: this book is not for everyone.

If you believe you are in a weak emotional state, are easily offended, prudish, or squeamish, or you dislike having your personal paradigms tested, then please, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.

Consider this a friendly warning.

Will Brock ignore his eye-opening discoveries, or will he act and lose everything?

This story, both humorous and tragic, is about one man's personal pilgrimage through the dystopian world of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. Along with millions like him, will Brock be able to safely make his escape from paradise?… (lisätietoja)
