an authentic tour de force."
-STEPHEN KING
"A river of a book, powerful, brilliant in its moments of
religious light and insight."
-The Chicago Tribune
In the tradition of Tom Robbins and Joseph Heller, Davis Grubb's
ANCIENT LIGHTS is a modern epic novel about the search
for truth in a world gone mad.
THE SECOND COMING
The founders of an international electronic conspiracy are positioning themselves to take over the world. And there's only one man who can stop them--a country bumpkin from West Virginia named Sweeley Leech. How?
As narrated by Sweeley's divinely lubricious daughter Fifi, the most beautiful and loving angel who ever graced the pages of a novel, ANCIENT LIGHTS is a race against the clock, taking Sweeley and his crusading entourage to the glittering crystal towers of New York City and the serene pockets of the Far East, a journey during which he offers the world a new gospel, a curious hybrid of love and compassion both ancient and modern. But since someone must win the race, can a world on the edge of destruction accept the Criste Lite...before it's too late?
"ANCIENT LIGHTS is the kind of book you read in pursuit of
the author's manic vision."
-The New York Times
