Field of Blood

“
Broken Angel
by Sigmund Brouwer is an impossible-to-put-down novel that explores what a world lacking accountability would be like, both for science and the Church. The result is a cautionary tale that is frightening in its plausibility. It’s a thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable read!”
