From the author of Redemption and Trinity comes another sweeping and awe-inspiring novel of politics, family, passion and intrigue.
Spanning the decades from World War II to the 2008 Presidential campaign, A God in Ruins is the unforgettable story of Quinn Patrick O’Connell, an honest, principled and courageous man on the brink of becoming the second Irish Catholic President of the United States.
In an era morally unmoored, rife with armed separatists and fundamentalist zealotry, Quinn emerges as America’s hope to reclaim its great past and its promises of the future.
But Quinn is a man with an explosive secret that can shatter his political ambitions and threaten his life — a secret buried for over half a century that even he does not know…
Master storyteller and international bestselling author of Redemption, Trinity and Exodus, Leon Uris once again brilliantly interweaves historical fact with gripping fiction in this powerful novel of politics, family, intrigue, love and the passions that rule human lives.
