The Book of Men: Ashes - Paperback

by A. C. Coelho (Author)

A fate-changing manuscript is at the center of a battle that could forever alter the course of humanity.

Ashes, Book Two of The Book of Men saga, moves from the wind-brushed stillness of the Colorado plains to the pulsing static of 1990s New York, where a lost Manuscript may alter the course of humankind. Its creator, Nelson Senior, is unraveling. After the death of his daughter, he buried The Book and nearly himself. His wife Amanda refuses to let go. Not of him. Not of hope. But others are closing in. Zhain, sinister and methodical, seeks to break the world to remake it. Alexandra walks in shadows, her intent cloaked in velvet and threat. As the search tightens, violence surges and the lines blur between faith and obsession, prophecy, and delusion. The story turns existential, pressing on questions of meaning, redemption, and the unbearable cost of memory. Written in Beat-Narrative(TM), a form of literary fiction, Ashes is a gripping and ominous meditation on grief, power, and the fragile scaffolding of belief. Ashes is a rare page-turner that will grip you from the first word to the last. Coelho's masterful style and vivid storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning every truth you thought you held.
