The Edenic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781625163424)

"The Edenic is a gripping, hard-hitting work of fiction, into the world of unadulterated power and greed." The time has come for the Matuses, chosen by God to preserve the parable, "The first will last and the last will be first." "EXCITEMENT of a new land, DEMOCRACY, CAPITALISM, WEALTH and RELIGIOUS FREEDOM," bring the Matuses to the USA. Ending up in Kentucky, they find themselves toiling with the Blacks in slavery. With God's help, they persevere and join the ranks of the elite. Judge Matuse, seduced by opulent riches, wealth, and power, rapes the women slaves, and murders their offspring, but one boy survived. It was this boy's descendant who received the gift of the prophecy, while the sons of the judge and his wife received none. Raymond, Born to a Black military family, is unwittingly used as a warrior of God. "High Technology, cyber cash and Helium 3 on the moon all tools used by the devil to achieve dominion over mankind." A Colorado Springs native, Rich iz Burnstine still lives in this community where milkmen leave milk on the porch each day. He is an inventor, enjoys fishing and the outdoors, and loves driving his vintage Corvette in the mountains. He is planning a sequel.Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/RichizBurnstine
