From the burning sands of ancient Egypt to the rugged coastline of the Pacific Northwest to the corridors of power in Washington, D. C., Brother XII takes the reader on a mesmerizing journey as it recounts the exploits of the messianic English sea captain who attempted to reshape the world according to his apocalyptic vision. A compelling true-life adventure, Brother XII is a unique and enthralling reading experience. In his Foreword, Colin Wilson writes: “I found myself totally absorbed…a book that will become a classic of its kind. I know of no more fascinating or better researched study of a ‘false messiah.’" | Brother XII by John Oliphant, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
