About this ebook

After an appalling education at Euterpe School (The House of Lunacy), Charles Baines moves to California, a successful director of television adverts. In 1974, at the height of its meteoric rise, The Temple of Sufferers and Joseph Priest arrive in San Francisco on their mission of converting souls. Baines is engaged to promote the Temple with a docu-publicity film of life and religion in the Temples agricultural project in the Amazon jungle. On arrival in Safehaven, Braziliana, Baines finds himself thrown into a nightmare in a sect from which he can see no escape.

Author

John Trethewey

Born in 1950, the son of grammar school teachers, young John Trethewey promised himself that he would never follow that profession. Although determined to be a composer, he embarked on his first novel at the age of eighteen. Over the following forty years, he has produced ten novels, a five-act stage play, and several major works for orchestra. A gifted linguist, in 1973 he decided after all to take up teaching. He has taught in several schools, with the twenty years leading to his retirement as teacher and director of studies in a Swiss international school. With wide interests, he particularly admires the music of Berlioz, the performances of the late Sir Colin Davis, and the lyrics of singer Al Stewart. This novel, the last in the series The Baines Saga, finally reveals the cosmic element that has increasingly been prevalent in events throughout the saga. It is a powerful dénouement to a long saga.
