Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?

Thomas is mad as hell. Life isn't going according to his grand plan, his government has made some bad decisions, and the folks he needs to talk with won't respond. Thomas has never hurt anyone—in fact, he considers himself a principled man—but he's so angry and his head hurts, and he just wants someone to share his umbrage. Using a trick he picked up from a TV cop show, Thomas begins his search for the truth by chloroforming and kidnapping Kevin, a NASA astronaut and former instructor. His destination is Fort Ord, an abandoned army base in California, and an ideal location for holding prisoners. Interviewing his captives about war, police brutality, and pedophilia, Thomas reveals the layers of his troubled soul. Like the biblical prophets of the title, he hopes to elicit repentance from those who have committed grave wrongs.
