Delivering Virtue: A Dark Comedy Adventure of the West (Hardback)

Didier Rain is broke, lovesick, and just off a three-day whiskey binge. And yet, The Church of the Restructured Truth has been told in a vision that he's the man to fulfill their Holy Prophecy. He must deliver Virtue - a blue-eyed infant - 1,000 miles along the western pioneer trail to their prophet's stronghold as his child bride-to-be. Savages, zealots, and wildfire all stand in Rain's way, not to mention a list of thou-shalt-nots designed to thwart any man's most basic comforts. But there's something holy about the job - something, Rain suspects, that might just turn his sorry life toward a better path.

In Delivering Virtue - Book One of The Epic of Didier Rain - Brian Kindall takes the classic novel of the West and turns it on its head. Grandiloquent humor and wit, pathos, and a cast of absurd, depraved characters all come together in an American Frontier world inspired by myth and legend, creating a surreal and disarmingly poignant adventure.
