About Chuck:
A meteor strike plunges the world
into darkness. A stranger to the village of Brigos Glen restores power
and light, supplied by three businesses, known as “The Company,” located
beyond the forbidden mountains. The stranger reveals a plan so the
Brigons can maintain the power and share the light with outlying
territories, which remain shrouded in darkness.
Now, seventy years later, The Company summons six
Brigons, including the young engineer Sam Mitchell, to attend a
conference in the mountains of the forbidden Outlands.
Responsible
for compiling a report about Brigos Glen from his five companions, Sam
learns how managers and villagers largely ignored the plan or
compromised it to self-interest, forsaking their duty to share the
light. They also took for granted The Company responsible for generating
and transmitting the power.
In an ordeal fraught with failure, revelations, and
judgment, Sam discovers the true identity behind The Company and learns
the fate that may befall Brigos Glen . . . that is, unless he can stop
it.

My Thoughts: An interesting allegory of the destruction of earth when a meteor collides with it. A small community survives and is literally left in darkness. A stranger comes along and provides electricity to them.
The reader could read this book and enjoy the escape to the fantasy world, or see it for what it is, an exploration of our relationship to God, and the contemporary church. Churches are being divided by beliefs or rather legalism and this book shows that in spades. The book was fast paced and kept me interested. My husband read it as well and loved it. This is one that I highly recommend!
