"Those who like their dystopias especially gritty will want to take
a look."-Publishers Weekly The Purge is here. New Orleans must die.
Long after the destruction of all electronic technology, the Bright
Crusade rules the world as a fundamentalist Christian theocracy.
Gabriel Troy is Lord of Order for the New Orleans Principality. For
years, he and his deputies have fought to keep their city safe from
the attacks of the Crusade's relentless enemies, the
Troublers-heretical guerillas who reject the Crusade's rule and the
church's strict doctrines. As their crowning achievement, Troy's
forces capture the Troublers' local leader. The city has never been
more secure. Alarming intelligence leaks from Washington: Supreme
Crusader Matthew Rook plans to enact a Purge-the mass annihilation
of everyone deemed a threat to the Crusade. Rook orders his forces
to round up all but the blindly loyal and march them to New
Orleans. Once the prisoners have been chained inside, the Crusaders
will wall off the city and destroy the levees. The resulting
deluge, reenacting the Biblical deluge of Noah's time and the
city's devastation during Hurricane Katrina, will kill everyone
inside. Forced to choose between the Crusade and the city he has
sworn to protect, Troy and five other conflicted conspirators gird
for battle, fully aware that the looming apocalypse will demand
horrific choices, test their faith, and require them to join forces
with their sworn enemies.
