Book Description
Great King Consamor, after seeing a sign and winning the battle, decides to devise a plan to hold reign over the world, using ideology instead of brute force. His omniscient teacher/mentor, Ultimata, makes it all possible by uniting several theosophies into a workable faith attractive to everyone. Along the way, they contend with the evil sun-priest, Taksalykan, and other would-be usurpers of the throne, dealing with each in different but equally cunning methods.
The body of the story deals with the day to day mind-set of royalty, commoners, and the priesthood of the times. It is written as a pseudo-history, leading the reader to link certain 'learned knowledge' with the fictional 'facts' implanted meagerly throughout the tale. From great battles to torrid love scenes, and on to the brutal rape of a boy subpriest, humor helps bring the fable to an ironic, bittersweet finish.
"The Book" gets written and distributed and religious history is created. The 'new' faith heals mankind, and everyone lives happily ever after...NOT!
About the Author
Mitchell Bailey, aka 'the Mick, has traveled the Americas for more than 30 years, even living for long periods of time in various foreign countries. His talents run the gamut from farming to music to mechanics and carpentry. His insight of human frailties is almost frightening, as he verbally dissects accepted truths, laying them open to anyone who would dare to read his works. At 56 years old, he is no longer the proverbial angry young man ... he is now mellowed with a tongue-in-cheek' philosophical outlook.
His down to earth writing style sometimes stymies the establishment, as he shoots from the hip, wounding everyone, especially himself. Like it or not, he is but a product of modern society, and stalwartly refuses to sugar-coat his stories and characters. As a hopeless romantic for honesty and truth, he will not sell himself out for success.
