ABOUT the NOvel

"Finally, a Christian thriller with heroes you will cheer onward. It will grab you by the collar and shake you."

Notice to readers:
This is not a regular, "sugar-coated" Christian story of fiction. Within the story, is foul language and explicit violence, just like in the real world. Readers of Dan Brown or Steven King will love this book. The story is a real page-turner, from the first page until the last.

An Amazon 5 Star reviewer put it this way:
"Generally I am leery of so-called "Christian" fiction. It almost always has a formula, lacks realism, and seldom deals with actual Holy Spirit power. John Stafford has given us a much different Christian novel, although without question one colored by Catholicism. His characters are realistic, (yes, occasionally they swear), his villains are indeed disgustingly bad, and the power that he calls upon is indeed holy. A non-Catholic, in-fact, may have less trouble with the "sci-fi" elements of Holy Spirit power, which might seem to a non-believer as no different than the spirit realm abilities of, say, Dr. Strange. Stafford weaves a solid story of good vs. evil, of heroes and the dark forces, and of flawed individuals who need a supernatural God to fight their spiritual foes. A Prayer for Vengeance could is the first of a trilogy, and I'm ready for more demon-huntin' in the sequels."

If you call the light, you will inevitably battle the darkness.

Brady is a high school senior, the champion of the outcast and bullied, who becomes the unwitting recipient of a gift that is both beautiful and terrifying. He discovers he can talk to angels and draw down a magnificent and mysterious light from the Blessed Virgin. However, Brady soon realizes that such power comes at a price: If you call the light, you will inevitably battle the darkness.

Indeed, a malevolent darkness is racing toward a small town outside of Dayton, Ohio - transported in a rusted, white conversion van. Its driver brings a palpable evil, unique in its seemingly aimless cruelty. Arrogant and vicious, Ray has no idea of the role he plays in his Master's plan. This evil has a purpose.

1970s Beavercreek, Ohio is a small, Air Force base town. With lots of folks continually moving in and out, the community is slow to take notice when teenage girls start disappearing.

However, as darkness descends and violence intensifies around him, Brady realizes that he is in a life-and-death struggle - not against school bullies, nor merely flesh and blood - but against a strange man with a leering smile who carries Satan in his soul.

In an epic battle of good versus evil, Brady will fulfill a prophecy that is hidden in the vaults of the Vatican...but only if he follows the laws of the Prayer of Vengeance.

"This series gets my highest honors! These books pull back the curtain, exposing the war between the light and the darkness playing out all around us right now, and what is possible if one believes."
