The Left Hand of God by Paul Hoffman is the gripping first
instalment in a remarkable trilogy. "Listen. The Sanctuary of the
Redeemers on Shotover Scarp is named after a damned lie for there
is no redemption that goes on there and less sanctuary." The
Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a vast and desolate place - a place
without joy or hope. Most of its occupants were taken there as boys
and for years have endured the brutal regime of the Lord Redeemers
whose cruelty and violence have one singular purpose - to serve in
the name of the One True Faith. In one of the Sanctuary's vast and
twisting maze of corridors stands a boy. He is perhaps fourteen or
fifteen years old - he is not sure and neither is anyone else. He
has long-forgotten his real name, but now they call him Thomas
Cale. He is strange and secretive, witty and charming, violent and
profoundly bloody-minded. He is so used to the cruelty that he
seems immune, but soon he will open the wrong door at the wrong
time and witness an act so terrible that he will have to leave this
place, or die. His only hope of survival is to escape across the
arid Scablands to Memphis, a city the opposite of the Sanctuary in
every way: breathtakingly beautiful, infinitely Godless, and deeply
corrupt. But the Redeemers want Cale back at any price... not
because of the secret he now knows but because of a much more
terrifying secret he does not. The Left Hand of God is a must read.
It is the first instalment in a gripping trilogy by Paul Hoffman.
Imagine if Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials met Umberto Eco's
Name of the Rose. Fans of epic heroic fiction will love this
series. Praise for Paul Hoffman: 'This book gripped me from the
first chapter and then dropped me days later, dazed and grinning to
myself' Conn Iggulden 'Tremendous momentum' Daily Telegraph 'A cult
classic . . .' Daily Express
