Description
The Gideons, author Jeffrey Hopkins' post-apocalyptic novel, will thrill lovers of the science fiction and fantasy genres with its world of wonder and bizarre custom. Written in an astonishingly astute tone, it's a dark and mesmerizing look at the direction that humankind could end up.
Â
Raised in a strange and enigmatic cult, Isaac is thrown out and exiled when he discovers far too much about their bizarre adult rites. Venturing out, scared and alone, into a chilling post-apocalyptic world, he begins to meet people that change his view of the world drastically from the one he was taught to believe.
Â
The world is now peopled with skilled forest hunter-gatherers, illuminated members of the legendary Institute that are incredibly scientifically advanced, and denizens of the Multi-verse that are out of this world. Isaac must learn to find his way in a world that was previously unknown to him, and learn to live in a humanity he never knew existed. When his wife, Deer, disappears, he must track her down at all costs. Â
Â
In a land where the logic of the bible is utilized by a formidable alien species to demonstrate their threatening sovereignty over all of the creatures of the Universe, mankind no exception, a strange and unsettling life has unfolded, and Isaac must fight through it, learning along the way what has become of mankind and the world that once was.
Â
Interwoven with deeper themes of humanity's true place in the Universe, and dismissing entirely the notion that Bible was truly written by a benevolent God for mankind's instruction, The Gideons is a darkly fascinating look at the way the world could be headed, and postulates a way out of the mess created by mankind. A post-apocalyptic thrill ride, readers will love the serious questions posed by The Gideons, and will find themselves held captive by the pages until they've reached the end.
