Motherless eBook

Brian J. Gail has written another heart pounding, page turner of a novel for Catholics who are straining to hear their Church's voice in what Pope John Paul II called the final confrontation between the Church and the anti Church, the Gospel and the anti Gospel. Motherless takes the reader on a riveting behind-the-scenes journey around the globe to the boardrooms and laboratories where the architects of The Life Sciences Revolution are preparing Mankind's Final Solution ... and into the confessionals and chanceries where the Church's response is being challenged. Father John Sweeney, pastor of a small catholic parish on Philadelphia's storied Main Line, is drawn into an apocalyptic vortex through the lives of parishioners Maggie Kealey, Michael Burns and Joe Delgado. Without warning they are ushered through the back door of the Revolution where they discover human embryos being created in laboratories and frozen in cryogenic freezers for a global black market. It is, however, when the Revolution's ultimate destination is revealed to one of the three that Fr. Sweeney is faced with his greatest test as a pastor guiding a soul to the Christian accountability to truth even in the face of potentially deadly consequences. In Motherless, best selling catholic author Brian J. Gail has created another spellbinding narrative that explores the ever more slippery slope of Man's technology and its existential threat to family and church. As in Fatherless, Gail's transcendent storytelling, scintillating dialogue and richly interwoven sub plots will leave readers breathless and hungry for more.

Motherless is the eagerly awaited second book in the trilogy by Catholic business executive turned fiction author, Brian J. Gail. Fatherless, the first in the trilogy, (next one is Childless, due out in fall of 2011) introduced us to parishioners, so vividly drawn and so like your neighbors in the cul-de-sac that you forget they’re fictional. They occupy the parish of St. Martha’s pastored by Father John Sweeney. In the last book, we saw Father Sweeney coming to grips with his own weaknesses in the area of Church doctrine. In this book, happily, he is stronger and a more reliable moral resource to the people in his flock. ( more )

Called to holiness    (An Interview with Celebrate Life Magazine, a publication of American Life League)
With the upcoming release of Childless, the third novel of his highly acclaimed series, Catholic author Brian J. Gail has now finished his chronicle of the American tragedy.

“Nobody wants to hear hard sayings if they’re put as a ‘no.’ John Paul II presented the theology of the body as a glorious yes,” he observed during his recent interview with Celebrate Life. Now Brian has presented that glorious “yes” to a new audience by writing a trilogy that is, at once, a sermon, a warning for our age and a realistic fiction thriller.   (...More)
