Summary

"West Condon, small-town USA, a quiet mining town. But when the Deepwater Number 9 mine explodes, an apocolyptic cult springs up around the sole survivor, Giovanni Bruno. When the town's newspaper editor seeks to debunk the Brunist cult, the story goes national and the town is flooded with new believers. As tensions mount--the nonbelievers trying to deprogram the cultists, and the devout swept up in their religious fervor--the town erupts into a swell of violence that leaves no one untouched." -- From back cover
