The Left Hand of God is a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi written by a British author Paul Hoffman. It is the first part of a trilogy bearing the same name (second book is announced to be released on August 4th Lance Kendricks Jersey , 2011). It is doubtful that any other recent book release created so much controversy – people are both loving and hating it.
Truth being told, you probably have to be a sci-fi or fantasy fan to truly enjoy this book. Hoffman throws his readers right inside a vast world without doing much explanation and it’s up to us to catch up. Luckily, it’s not that hard.

General Background
The world is in a pre-industrial state. There are no mentions of any advanced technologies, just bows, arrows, horses and such. Many nations are dispersed across the globe; most important of which are the Roman-like Materazzi, fanatical Redeemers and their eternal opponents, Antagonists.

Putting himself and his companions in a mortal danger, Cale assassins the Lord Redeemer Picarbo as a revenge for killing one of the two girls; he also rescues the other one, Riba, and then engineers and executes an escape from the Sanctuary, something unthinkable for most of his fellow prisoners.
On their way to Memphis Janoris Jenkins Jersey , a major city of the Matterazzi and their nearest safe haven, their encounter a sla
