Orwell had it wrong. The heavy hand of oppressive government, operating in isolation, isn't the greatest risk to freedom and individuality. It's society itself - working in concert with powerful institutions like corporations, academia, and the media - that represents the biggest threat to truth, liberty and self-determination. Dr. Philly Love spends her weeks working as a neurosurgeon and weekends offering free medical care to the indigent out of a rusty RV she converted into a mobile medical clinic. But her unwillingness to embrace as truth the pronouncements of the Intellectual Council and her fiery rejection of society's worldview has placed her in the crosshairs of two of Babylon's most powerful figures. Browning Dillon refuses to conform as well, though as worship pastor at Babylon Community Church he struggles against the worldview embraced by his congregation, which he fears increasingly mirrors the culture more than it does Scripture. When Philly and Browning meet at a neighborhood barbecue, sparks fly. As they draw closer they find themselves targeted by dark forces masquerading as angels of light - powers determined to destroy them and unify the world under one banner. Drawing on biblical prophecy and emerging social trends, Roderick Cyr has painted a future so realistic you could wake up to it tomorrow. It is at once frightening and hopeful, cautionary and insightful.
