Rendition In Pursuance Of Books God Country (God Country #1-6)
SOUTHERN BASTARDS meets American Gods in a high-stakes fantasy series that masterfully blends high-octane action and jaw-dropping worldbuilding.In GOD COUNTRY, readers meet Emmett Quinlan, an old widower rattled by dementia. Emmett isn't just a problem for his children--his violent outbursts are more than the local cops can handle. When a tornado levels his home--as well as the surrounding West Texas town--a restored Quinlan rises from the wreckage.
An enchanted sword at the eye of the storm gives him more than a sound mind and body, however. He's now the only man who can face these otherworldly creatures the sword has drawn down to the Lone Star State...
In GOD COUNTRY salvation is a double-edged sword.

Great artwork and story idea but it seemed too rushed to be a great story. If this could have had more time to develope this could have been better.An inoffensive, sentimental story about mortality and fatherhood, told in the form of a fable or myth. Theres nothing really wrong with it, but theres also nothing especially right about it either. Something to read, put on a shelf, and forget about.
Well.I thought I would like it more, but it certainly wasn't bad.It seemed (to me) to have a Norse vibe to it even though space gods (or something like that) were fighting with Emmet and his new BFF, a sentient sword god who keeps him from relapsing into dementia. <--which is a really cool premise.

I personally felt this story was very touching and a little more emotional than I would have expected. With the main character being stricken with dementia, it seems easily touching for families with similar circumstances to identify with this story. Unfortunately, I fall under this category. It just so happens that both of my parents are diagnosed with early stage dementia. Emmet, the main character of this story, has advanced and violent dementia. After he has gained the strength of the sword
Not ashamed to admit, I cried just a tad.This is an excellent book. Perhaps some people are turned off because its not what theyre expecting.Its a book about life and death. The real kind.Its about the loyalty of Family.Its about love and heartache.Joy and the willingness to sacrifice everything.All myths and legends come from peoples emotions. The hard to explain is explained away by gods doing miraculous things.... often in human image.Heroes are given almost impossible tasks; most often they
Emmett Quinlan, suffering from Alzheimer's, makes his family' life miserable until he becomes the owner of a magical sword that 'cures' him.The premise alone is worth reading the book. Dementia in all its forms is one of the scariest things in the world to me. While there are battles with gods and hordes of Balegrim's death minions, it's the fight to not lose your ability to think and remember that made the biggest impact on me. Emmett is a truly believable man of his generation (his reply to
