Mad Gods - Redux

For fans of Dan Brown, Garth Nix, Michael Baignet, Joseph Campbell & Elaine Pagels, the Omen & the Exorcist.... Bible Revelation is turned upside down when the Antichrist refuses to follow Destiny. It's an apocalyptic escape from Satanists, Templars, New World Order & the Catholic Church.

Kostadino Paleologos roams mysterious libraries all over the world following stories about a soul searching for redemption. Its many lives protest history's treatment and wish for a life more ordinary. He finds the Idammah-Gan Codex, a catalogue of all the soul's lives; a singularly dangerous book, safely read only in daylight. No candle, electric or fire could keep the shadows confined in the stygian ink of the Codex. Kostadino's actions throw Revelation & all prophesies into chaos. The Luciferian Church that longed for their Redeemer move heaven and earth to find him while the Vatican sends Templars to hunt him down. Kostadino raises the Antichrist, names him Adam & teaches the secrets he learned in his own quest. The far-flung, dusty old rooms throughout the world were filled with the almost perfect thoughts and nearly complete ideas from geniuses throughout history; yet no one had found the whole truth. All came as close as they could but fell short. Kostadino shows Adam we cannot see the truth to which every faith aspires because we are flawed. We see, hear, smell, taste and touch with inadequate tools. Even intellect is limited, unable to completely digest truth. Truth is too large --or too small-- to see, and we absorb only what we can from our narrow perspectives. Faith believes outside reason, but loses truth in translation, wishing, to no avail, that reason can finally explain faith.

Athanasios works in Montreal as a graphic/video artist, illustrator & writer in dvd production & film. He has been researching & crafting Mad Gods: weaving in factual & rumoured history for over ten years. Athanasios has been interested in religion & faith since childhood. This led to studying a bewildering variety of beliefs from pagan, wicca, judaism, christianity, islam, to hindu, buddhism, shinto, luciferianism & much more. The interest made its own momentum & brought Mad Gods. His other interests include most entertainment, from film, to television & books. He won't try video games for the same reason he doesn't keep his favourite booze in the house; he would do nothing else. There was a short time that he was into World of Warcraft but that became the obsession he knew it would be. He had to leave it for a deeper & more engrossing one: Mad Gods.
