Didier Rain is broke, lovesick, and just off a three-day whiskey binge. And yet, The Church of the Restructured Truth has been told in a vision that he's the man to fulfill their Holy Prophecy. He must deliver Virtue - a blue-eyed infant - 1,000 miles along the western pioneer trail to their prophet's stronghold as his child bride-to-be. Savages, zealots, and wildfire all stand in Rain's way, not to mention a list of thou-shalt-nots designed to thwart any man's most basic comforts. But there's something holy about the job - something, Rain suspects, that might just turn his sorry life toward a better path. In Delivering Virtue - Book One of The Epic of Didier Rain - Brian Kindall takes the classic novel of the West and turns it on its head. Grandiloquent humor and wit, pathos, and a cast of absurd, depraved characters all come together in an American Frontier world inspired by myth and legend, creating a surreal and disarmingly poignant adventure.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Brian Kindall is an author living in the mountains of Central Idaho, a world with long winters perfectly designed for holing up and writing novels. His books range in diversity from middle-grade novels - Blue Sky, Pearl, and Sparrow - to the ongoing adult fiction series, The Epic of Didier Rain novels, Delivering Virtue and Fortuna and the Scapegrace, to his most recent publication, Escape from Oblivia - One man's midlife crisis gone primal. His accolades include starred reviews at BlueInk and Foreword Reviews, being a finalist for ForeWord Reviews literary novel of the year award (Delivering Virtue), A Seal of Excellence awarded by Awesome Indies (Delivering Virtue), and an Editor's Choice award granted by the Historical Novel Society (Delivering Virtue). Twisted humor is a given in Brian's work, as those long winters mentioned earlier tend to drive a writer slightly mad.
