The saga of Jake Goodson continues in Volume Two of the trilogy, A Jeweler’s Eye View: The Crucible. The spellbinding sequel to Volume One begins with Jake Goodson continuing in his battle to rescue his children from the clutches of the cult known as the Ekkklesia of Yahoeh.
When the Aryan sect has its very existence threatened through legal action taken by Emma’s fiancé, Sam Bailey, the megalomaniacal leader, Daniel Hightower, known to his followers as Kerux Invictus, reacts with unforeseen ferocity. The mesmerizing control he exercises over his followers even leads them into committing murder for their leader. Hightower’s psychopathic obsession with protecting his flock from “demonic attacks from the outside” drives him to outmaneuver Jake and Sam with a martial mastery and Machiavellian cunning that is devastating to both Jake and Sam, leaving their world turned upside down.
The ferocity of the attacks from the fascist church reawakens something in Sam that he thought he had left behind in Europe at the end of the Second World War. He shares his own wartime experiences with Jake, beginning in Northern Italy in 1944 all the way through to his arrival at Buchenwald Concentration Camp in Germany at the end of the war.
The saga continues, drawing the reader into the deeper implications of war and peace, and love and hate.
