Truth and Evil: A Historical Fiction Novelette Set During WW2

By G. Edward Martin

ON SALE the entire month of September. Normal price: $8.99 During the height of World War 2, a young German soldier on the Russian front is unexpectedly killed moments after committing a heinous and unforgivable crime. After his soul is hurled through the aether, he finds himself surrounded by blinding light and standing before God to explain his actions and face judgement. Instead of condemning the young man's soul, God mysteriously sends him back to earth to relive the moment until he can change the outcome and come to understand the nature of truth and evil. The story follows the young soldier's harrowing journey as he faces off against the father of all lies and confronts the worst and best of humanity--our capacity to commit unspeakable evil and our potential to embody the divine courage needed to combat that evil and restore balance in the world. As God slowly rebuilds the young man's soul through his excruciating journey across several iterations of a living hell, the young soldier becomes greater than just a man, and his tribulations help change the entire course of history as we know it. **A Warning from the author** This is an exceptionally dark and challenging story, and it is intended ONLY for a mature audience. While this is the most difficult story I have written, it is also the most important. This story confronts the absolute best and worst of humanity, as the two extremes are inextricably connected. "No tree, it is said, can grow to Heaven unless its roots extend down to hell." --Carl Jung
