About the BOOK

The environment of South Mississippi is almost unbearable in the summer. It is in this hellish habitat that ordinary working men and women try to survive the total collapse of the United States Government. With no grocery stores and no service stations, the citizens are forced to make difficult choices. These choices blur the line between right and wrong.

Sal Batree was once a hideout for Newt Knight and his renegade Civil War soldiers. These men attempted to secede the county from the Confederacy and form the Free State of Jones. This book chronicles modern day renegades who retreat into this historic swamp. Their efforts to escape the turmoil caused by a desperate populace results in a unique form of government.

The civilization which emerges from the calamity has eerie similarities to the governmental system described in the book of Revelation. The distress incurred by people living with the Mark of the Beast will doubtless leave Christians with a more fervid hope for the rapture of the saints.

About the AUTHOR

J. R. Gavin was born in Laurel, Mississippi in 1948. He received his BS Degree in Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University in 1970 and has worked for thirty years in software and electronics. He has lived in Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas and Saudi Arabia. In 1990 he constructed a poultry farm and raised chickens for ten years. Today he is retired and spends his time writing, gardening, and helping his wife in her upholstery shop. He owns land near Soso, Mississippi that rests on the east slope of Jones County’s historic Ridge Road. From that Piney Woods acreage flow the cool headwaters of Spring Creek which flow into the wetlands below nearby Highway 28. These swamps are steeped in Civil War lore, and provided the inspiration for this, his first, novel.
