The Masters and the Slave

About the Book

Each of us has a belief system in which at one extreme rejects everything that cannot be proved and at the other is open to all possibilities. Most of us believe in an afterlife although we don’t all agree on what, where and how is that life is to be lived. Do our souls roam the earth, go to Heaven…or Hell or somewhere in between? This story touches on the latter wherein a reclusive Metaphysicist has opened a portal from his convervatory into Purgatory or a Netherland where many of the masters of old who are all destined for Heaven remain because they feel their lives were cut short obviating the opportunity to complete their lives’ works.
