"Sometimes God answers prayers, and sometimes the devil does."
16-year-old best friends Mitch Simon and Jordy Hubbard are two of
the smallest kids in their suburban high school. All they want to
do is hang together, mind their own business and survive their
junior year. But their size, their lowly status, and their rumored
sexual orientation makes them the targets of "The Syndicate," a
group of rich, arrogant kids who take pleasure in relentlessly
bullying, tormenting and humiliating them, directly and on the
internet. Desperate and powerless, with no one to turn to, Mitch
and Jordy fervently pray to heaven for help during a very intense
lightning storm. Amazingly, it soon arrives in the form of James
Batt, a seemingly clueless kid who immediately becomes the primary
focus of The Syndicate. But "J.B." isn't exactly what he seems, and
before long, the boys - and everyone else at school - are
wondering: just who is this new kid, where is he from, and what's
his agenda? Retribution High combines elements of "Carrie,"
"Dexter" and the "Friday the 13th" movies with Clint Eastwood's
"High Plains Drifter" and puts them into a contemporary high
school, with some "Tales From The Crypt" sprinkled in as well. If
you've ever been bullied and wished the worst on your tormentors,
then this is the novel you've been waiting for. It's dark, it's
twisted, it's violent and it's harsh. It's High School Horror. It's
not politically correct. And it's not family entertainment. It's a
tale in which the bad kids get what they really deserve.
Retribution isn't always divine, but it can be immensely satisfying
Note: This is the Explicit Version (red) of Retribution High. It
contains profanity, gay bashing and sexual situations. As a movie,
it would be rated R or X. For those who prefer a less extreme
experience, please select the Standard Version (green), which
contains none of the 68 words or expressions that can't be said on
network television. There is no reason to buy both versions
because, other than the language and the controversial party
sequence in Chapter 8, the scenes in both versions are the same.
