Description

Welcome to North America, 5000 years after the death. The ruins of the
civilized world are overgrown with post-holocaust forest and deadly desert
wasteland. The five Great Lakes have merged to form a vast inland sea.
Evolution has reshaped much of the plant and animal kingdoms into terrifying
and unknown life forms with powers so vast, the mind struggles to
distinguish dreams from reality until the results become horrifyingly clear.

In what was once the Canadian west, the small Metz Republic, led by the
scholar-priests of the Abbeys, is struggling to recapture the glow of
knowledge, order and civilization, but the savage forces of the Brotherhood
of the Unclean seem determined to crush anything that stands in the way of
its evil plans for total domination. There is hope for the outnumbered Metz,
but it depends on a long lost secret that must be recovered from deep within
dangerous Brotherhood territory. If anyone can discover and return with this
knowledge, it is Per Hiero Desteen, telepath, warrior and priest.

Hiero's Journey chronicles that daring quest. Setting out, he is soon joined
by other strange and mysterious characters.

Hiero and his companions face unimaginable danger and perils at every turn,
and must overcome the sinister and powerful dark forces, if civilization is
to survive. On and on they go with nothing left but sheer will, with
thousands of years of evil straining to crush them for eternity. On and on
they fight, yet nothing can prepare them for the surprise that awaits them
at their destination !!!

Read this at your own risk, as your mind may be assailed for weeks or even
months at a time after you finish reading this book by images of unspeakable
creatures, or by the never ending challenges and heart stopping danger Hiero
and his brave band faced, relentlessly battling to save the future of the
mankind.
