About the Book

RELIGIOUS HUMOR/HISTORY/ROMANCE Very Sarcastic and Glib...This story is deathly funny.

This dark humor disects the life and times of Royalty and the priesthood. Somewhere in time, King Consamor decides to put an end to wars and strife by uniting the world with one religion. His trusted mentor/advisor, Ultimata, sees the project through with force and diligence, creating an opium for the masses that will endure for thousands of years. Interference from evil High Priest Taksalykan (takes-all-he-can) and the queen´s sexual romps (explicit) add color to the otherwise black humor. From raging battles to the brutal rape of a boy sub-priest, the tale mixes fact with fiction and opens the reader´s eyes to the reality of how some men prey on the fears (real or imagined) of the common man. Cutting deep and long, this story is not for the simple-minded reader.


About the Author

Mitchell Bailey, aka 'the Mick, has traveled the Americas for more than 30 years, even living for long periods of time in various foreign countries. His talents run the gamut from farming to music to mechanics and carpentry. His insight of human frailties is almost frightening, as he verbally dissects accepted truths, laying them open to anyone who would dare to read his works. At 56 years old, he is no longer the proverbial angry young man ... he is now mellowed with a tongue-in?cheek' philosophical outlook. His down to earth writing style sometimes stymies the establishment, as he shoots from the hip, wounding everyone, especially himself. Like it or not, he is but a product of modern society, and stalwartly refuses to sugar?coat his stories and characters. As a hopeless romantic for honesty and truth, he will not sell himself out for success.
