Death Rode a White Horse

About the Book

DEATH RODE A WHITE HORSE starts with the Creation story only Lucifer is a playboy who does back flips off the high dive. Creator is a little forgetful and leaves scalpels in some of his creations. Some of his creations have to be destroyed before their waste pollutes the earth, but when he creates Adam, his creation is perfect until Eve and Lucifer screw the whole thing up.

Adam and Eve are driven out of the Garden of Eden before they give birth to Cain and Able. By the way, when Cain is born, Creator has to rest up by going fishing. As you can see, the characters in this novel are humorous, pathetic, and sometimes downright human like you and me.

While Adam and Eve and their son, Cain, tends the farm, Able takes his animals to warmer climes in the winter and cooler places in the summer. While in the Kargos Mountains, Able rescues a princess and marries her. Fixed up with a nice wife, his life is idyllic until his mother-in-law sticks her nose into the story. In a short time Cain gets the hots for the queen and all hell breaks loose! You must read the book to find out why jealousy drives Cain to kill his brother, Able. By the way, the ending should run chills up your spine.

To add to the excitement Creator and Gabriel fly through the air in a chariot throwing lightning bolts at poor old Lucifer. If you read this, the Bible should never be a dull book again.
