Silence the Uprising: Seven Villains. One Truth.
Some men cannot be reached by ordinary means.
Not the gladiator who has killed without conscience since the age of fifteen. Not the Pharisee who has built his entire identity on being right. Not the Viking who has never encountered a force he couldn't defeat with steel. Not the Inquisitor, the pirate, the mob boss, the warlord.
These are not men who respond to gentle persuasion. These are men who have decided what the world is made of and have organized their lives around that decision.
Silence the Uprising follows seven of them - across seven centuries, seven cultures, seven varieties of power and darkness - as each one sets out to stop something he cannot explain and ends up being changed by it instead.
The central figure of these stories is never named directly. He moves at the edges. He is spoken of. He is encountered in glimpses and in the inexplicable transformation of people who have met him. He is present the way a strong wind is present - you cannot see it, but you can see everything it touches.
Seven villains. One truth. Two thousand years of evidence.
If you have ever felt too hardened to be reached, too far gone to be found, too dangerous to be loved - this book was written for you.
You are not too far. You never were.
By William Cecil Edwards - author of The Outlaw Cowboy and Outlaw Gospel: 125 Gospel-isms from the Trail.
