The Library at Mount Char, by Scott Hawkins Synopsis: When God disappears, his twelve adopted children try to find him and/or take his place, while negotiating internal power struggles and the interference of the US government. Book Review: This book does almost everything flawlessly. It is a portrait of extremely broken people, as being raised by the Old Testament God Himself is not conducive to good mental health. It is a portrayal of absolute power and absolute unaccountability. It is a study of acceptance of horrors, and forgiveness in the face of the unspeakable. And it will make you wonder if there are Ends so important that even you, yes you, would accept any Means necessary to achieve them. Seriously, this book is good. It's especially meaningful for anyone raised in a fundamentalist religion, and who has since escaped from it but still has a lot of baggage from that past. Like myself! Scott Hawkins writes very well. His set pieces are
