Book Review of The Knowledge of Good & Evil

The Knowledge of Good & Evil
glennkleier avatar reviewed on


Ian Baringer may have stumbled across the greatest discovery of all time. Or possibly the greatest curse--
As a child, Ian lost his parents in a horrific accident, seeing them give their lives to save his. He never fully recovered, burying pangs of guilt, clinging to religions promise that someday hed see his parents again.
But now his demons have resurfaced. Despite the help of Angela Weber, the brilliant psychologist who loves him, hes in the grip of an obsession. He no longer trusts in an afterlife, he must know for certain if the soul survives death.
And incredibly, hes found a way. A risky bid to slip over to the other side and return with Knowledge of the Great Beyond. Knowledge others can verify by following his path.
The implications are staggering. Proof of a hereafter! Of God, Himself! Knowledge to halt wars! To end at last the ancient animosities between Faiths!
Or perhaps a Knowledge to doom us all . . .
Some believe it a sacrilege to pry open deaths door, with dire consequences for Humanity. A shadowy brotherhood is sworn to destroy all trespassers, and Ian and Angela have but one hope to survive. They must defy the gates of heaven and hell to steal a Knowledge hidden from the world since the dawn of creation.
