The Story of B

The Story of B combines Daniel Quinn's provocative and visionary ideas with a masterfully plotted story of adventure and suspense in this stunning, resonant novel that is sure to stay with readers long after they have finished the last page. Father Jared Osborne--bound by a centuries-old mandate held by his order to know before all others that the Antichrist is among us--is sent to Europe on a mission to find a peripatetic preacher whose radical message is attracting a growing circle of followers. The target of Osborne's investigation is an American known only as B. He isn't teaching New Age platitudes or building a fanatical following; instead, he is quietly uncovering the hidden history of our planet, redefining the fall of man, and retracing a path of human spirituality that extends millions of years into the past. From the beginning, Fr. Osborne is stunned, outraged, and awed by the simplicity and profundity of B's teachings. Is B merely a heretic--or is he the Antichrist sent to seduce humanity not with wickedness, but with ideas more alluring than those of traditional religion? With surprising twists and fascinating characters, The Story of B answers this question as it sends readers on an intellectual journey that will forever change the way they view spirituality, human history, and, indeed, the state of our present world. more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-29-2008; Good story...very preachy; I purchased the Story of B excited to read the continuation of the thought provoking Ishmael.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-27-2007; A necessary tale; Don't miss this one. This deceptively simple tale may be the most profound critique of agricultural civilization that I have ever read. It cuts to the heart of the experiment we began about 10,000 years ago -- the way of life which has...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-02-2006; The Story of B is not "an adventure of the mind and spirit."; This is book was a waste of time for me. While reading it, I stuck with it because I was hoping that it would have an ending that would make it worth it, but that doesn't ever happen. The ultimate flaw with the book is that it pretends...; read full review | report as inappropriate
