Wrong Book!!!

All of the descriptions, reviews, and comments on this page are not for this book! They are for a mystery by someone named "Stevens". For an accurate description of this book, see greatauthorsonline. com This is a great but scary book about a time when a television evangelist becomes President of The United States. Lincoln Stoddard, evangelical leader of the Christian Universalist Church, has risen to the Presidency of the United States. He immediately proceeds to crush opposition, secular and spiritual, throughout the country and beyond. Reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, Stoddard sends Emerson Cheevers -- his half-mad executioner -- to eradicate the remaining members of the CU's opposition. Grant Broadstreet, sole survivor of one of Cheevers' actions, joins the last great hope against the oppressive CU government: the Northern Army, First Tank Command, Colonel Matthew Timmerick, commanding. Together, they attempt a last ditch defense against the vision of God that resides only in Stoddard's twisted mind. Rodger Olsen Editor Great Authors Online

Definetly different

I really do like Stevens' writing...the subjects that he writes about are very interesting as well.. this book is a mixture of quite a few things...physics, murder, madness...some of the book gets a little too involved with the science but it doesn't take away from the overall experience.. the book starts off with some very bizare goings-on..this isn't just your run of the mill murder mystery.. my only problem with the book was that I found it hard to utilize teh suspension of disbelief...the latter half of the book relies HEAVILY on physics and space..and what happens..well, I'm not going to spoil it, but it was definetly way out of left field! But I do have to say that I enjoyed the book an awful lot. Definetly worth looking into.

Absolutely fantastic!

This book was gripping, thrilling, very interesting, and a real page-turner. I was up till all hours of the night reading this--I literally couldn't put it down. Garfield Reeves-Stevens' mix of science (physics especially quantum physics), murder, horror, mystery, and fiction are all intertwined to create a wonderfully fantastic story with brilliant characterizations and deep (but not too extravagant) details (some of which go beyond "gruesome"). This is one of the best books I've ever read in any genre. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

Mindblowing...

I recall reading this little gem some years ago, and it still rates up there with one of the best books that I have ever read. The whole concept of mankind, trying to establish the actual point of "existence", and anti-matter just completely blew me away. Amazing!

A perfect brain-twister, in between modern physics and schizophrenia. Not only the author's writing is delightful, but also the way the plot is deviced and the motives intertwined, one of the most think-inducing aspects in this book being the way it succeeds in combining both a true psychological horror, and the most cold-hearted scientific approach - in the straight line of such masterpieces as Lovecraft's Whisperer in Darkness.
