Rating:
Summary: In the hands of madness -- Very highly recommended
Review: FBI Agent Shari Rigel survived the Jonestown Massacre as a child. Now she brings that experience as she observes a similar cult. For two months she steals time to watch over Eden to methodically check each camera blind. Admittedly obsessed, Shari waits for the opportunity to stop another mass suicide. Compelled to prevent a reoccurrence of Jonestown or what she witnessed with the Branch Davideans at Waco, Shari intends to stop Father Will before the FBI descends on the compound to usher in another version of Armageddon.

Father Will, leader of the apocalyptic Christian sect, has built a fortress and a prison inside a mountain honeycombed with caves and tunnels. With the aid of computer technology, Father Will selects each new disciple carefully, transferring their wealth his own accounts as he brings them into the fold. He also uses advanced programs to monitor his adversaries, making him a powerful and dangerous enemy. With the mesmerizing grace of a madman, Father Will leads the Remnant to destruction, planning to begin first with the sacrifice of his own first-born son.

Author Georgia Flosi debuts the "Exit Counselor Series" with a gripping account of a mass suicide planned by the cult leader of THE REMNANT. Flosi's experience as an award-winning playwright lends this tale a fierce, convincing sense of drama as it enacts the dilemma faced by millions of people snared by cults today. Heroine Shari's chilling experience at Jonestown keeps the tension building as she relates that experience to the escalating dangers presented by Father Will. Secondary characters likewise present sympathetic and heart rendering contradictions, especially Maya who refuses to allow Father Will to wed her teen child, or to leave without her family. Father Will presents a dangerous brilliant manipulation of scripture in the midst of madness, preparing for an end of chillingly inevitable destruction. A work of burning hope in the midst of dark intent, THE REMNANT comes very highly recommended.
