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 & less sanctuary The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is a vast & desolate place
- a place without joy or hope Most of its occupants were taken there as boys & for years have endured the brutal regime of the Lord Redeemers whose cruelty & violence have one singular purpose
- to serve in the name of the One True Faith In one of the Sanctuary's vast & twisting maze of corridors stands a boy He is perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old
- he is not sure & neither is anyone else He has long-forgotten his real name but now they call him Thomas Cale He is strange & secretive witty & charming violent & 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 & 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 & 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 & then dropped me days later dazed & grinning to myself' Conn Iggulden' Tremendous momentum' Daily Telegraph'A cult classic ' Daily Express
