About the Book
"As a sinister, amorphous, non-human entity steadfastly infiltrates civilization and the very Earth itself, a few ordinary souls, in their brave opposition, discover the power of community, and also the power that comes from continuing to hold in one's heart all those things that are most dear"--Book Synopsis
From his odd, secluded mansion in New Mexico, Mr. Ben calmly goes about remaking the planet for just himself and a few others-while deep in a faraway canyon, a small, autistic boy waves an old piece of rope back and forth. Now and then, the dome on top of the mansion splits apart like the grasping claw of a crab, and a huge, gleaming disk emerges, and shoots off and disappears in a purple flash of nothingness. Five friends-a modern-day Thoreau and his wife, a journalist on a CIA hit list, an Apache bull rider, and a Hopi woman who finds herself strangely and perhaps even cosmically entangled with Mr. Ben-together try to stem the malevolence they sense seeping from what just could be the Devil's Mansion. A spectacular event erupts in the mountain village of Pinedale. And in the uproar, the startling action of a small boy resounds across the oceans.
