"What if I told you I have drawn ships ashore? What if I told you I
have taken what I wanted, that I've drawn this very blade down a
soft belly?" The voice continued, soft and sonorous. "What if I
admit to you that I have killed for the game alone? What good does
this knowledge do you? It only confirms what you already know. But
knowledge is not proof. Civilization won't condemn me until I pull
my blade from its heart." Cole roused himself. "You are a
murderer," he said. Pomp shrugged. "I may kill, and you, no doubt,
save. We have chosen different sides of the chessboard. But as the
game proceeds, the pieces mix, and their intent can change." But
first it must begin... Rise of the Mooncusser, prequel to the
award-winning novel Fog, once again transports the reader to the
wild shores of 19th century Cape Cod, a world of shipwreck and
quick death, and the beginnings of a tale that will eventually
threaten to alter the course of America's future. Here the
unforgettable characters of Fog begin their journey toward their
eventual fates: lifesaving Keeper Daniel Cole and his strong-willed
wife Sara, the irrepressible Willie Bangs, the Reverend Marmaduke
Matthews, fiery orator and tormented soul, the canny whore Abby
Hierdal, the brutish John Kilbride and, of course, Pomp,
philosopher and seer, arbiter of justice and dispenser of death, a
man who walks outside the boundaries of civilization, a mooncusser
whose only allegiance is to the whispers inside his head. Cast your
eyes to the storm swept ridgelines of the outer beach and witness a
shrouded and matchless evil.
