You get a cross-country road trip to save the world, of course! Adam (yeah THAT Adam) has been around for a long time, but even he's never seen anything like this. He has to gather his ex-girlfriend and his youngest daughter with his ex-wife (you remember Eve, right?) and his oldest surviving son (Cain) and get them across the country for a meeting with Archangel Michael and Lucifer to determine the fate of the world. Along the way there are strip clubs, cheap beer, expensive whiskey, biker bar fights, shotgun blasts in motel parking lots, sing-alongs in public parks and other wild adventures as our group of intrepid immortals and universal icons travel to save the world. The Chosen is the first novel from award-winning poet John G. Hartness. A wild comic ride through biblical genre-bending, The Chosen is as funny as it is probing. With characters pulled from the pages of the Bible and from everyday life, The Chosen takes a hard look at what happens when the divine becomes the everyday. Praise for The Chosen:"It's deeply funny, very well written, both in terms of pacing and voice, and fast paced." - Asa C. Page"The Chosen by John Hartness is an example of all that is good and joyful in fiction. I love this book. It's fast paced, very well voiced, and genuinely funny. " - Keryl Raist"What I will tell you is that this is a well written work that transcends genre. Its a great book that will keep you entertained on a flight with even a crying kid or two. Don't grab it when you can't sleep though. It will keep you going til the sunrise." - Ken Prevo Contemporary, Fantasy, The Chosen~~ John Hartness~~Contemporary~~Fantasy~~9781458001368, en, The Chosen, John Hartness, 9781458001368, Smashwords Edition, 01/19/2011, , , , Smashwords Edition, 01/19/2011<
