Satan decided that the game was over. He was tired of God’s pitiful hands off policy on the Earth. For eons that balance of power had been maintained, both of them forcing the other to not interfere in mankind’s development through the times.
And so the newest novel on the block starts but this is not like any other novel out there.
A few short weeks ago I found myself befriending a man on Facebook, a daily occurrence for most of us with an account, but this guy was a little different unlike most of my friends who had ‘found’ me because of my membership of the Masonic Order; and would later find we would have other similar interests as we got to ‘know’ each other this guy found me because of a mutual interest in Zombies ….. yes the undead, the rotting, decaying mobile corpses that are the subject of many a book and movie both good and not so good.
Then why I hear you ask are you telling us about him on a Masonic Blog.
As well as being a Zombie fan he is also a Freemason.
The man to whom I refer is Benjamin Rogers, write that name down you will be hearing of it again in the future. Like nearly everyone who has ever read a book he has had a go at writing one but unlike most of us he has succeeded.
It is said we each have a book in us but Rogers has a few starting with ‘Faith & The Undead’ which is released this summer. The first in the’ Trilogy of the Undead’ introduces us to Frank Payens a drifter who is lost and in need of a direction in his life.
“He had traveled many paths across what he considered a great nation, but was never able to find a place of comfort to call home. That all changed about three years ago when he began to hear rumors of The Home, a monastery like retreat that only accepted veterans. The stories of military monks living in a compound in New York or Connecticut seemed to popup no matter where he went in the nation. “
The book, (of which I have had the opportunity to read the first few chapters) aims to take us on a rollercoaster ride through a land devoid of life, controlled by the undead, decaying as civilisation ceases.
Chapter one is a great introduction setting a brilliant position for the continuing story the prtral of the character of the ‘wounded’ soldier finding consolation in his faith and the portrayal of a powerful yet fearful Satan is great as well I could really picture the soul of the German woman wandering toward the duel entrances of eternity knowing which way she would be going. For those of you who want the introduction Rogers tells me he will be posting Chapter One on his Blog tonight so head on over and start the journey into the end of the world with Payens and co.
As the adventure starts there is only one group who can help and they are put in charge. Heading into battle their cry is ‘Beauseant’ their shield is God.
Rogers has created a new world for his book…….and it is a virtual world. Keeping up to date with the development of this new could not be any easier. He has a
blog, a
Facebook page and
Twitter account. I honestly believe this is going to be a book and man to follow who will lead into an exciting world of death and destruction.
Oh and did I mention the Freemasons turn up in the book. What more could you want,
Zombies...Templars...Masons.....Faith.....&.........Mystery join author Benjamin Rogers
as he keeps us up to date with one of the most anticipated Zombie Novels of the age!!!
“We have awaited your arrival brother. It is time for your healing to commence,” the monk stated.
Frank dropped his rucksack to the ground and dropped to his knees knowing that not only had he found The Home, but he had finally located the spot of comfort that he was looking for. The place he could call home.”
