This is Volume Three of Mr. Luguya's three volume thriller about the devil's desire to have his due and one man's journey to hell and back.In this riveting theology-fiction, Christian Mjomba, a seminarian with a runaway imagination, has an assignment to turn in a thesis on “Original Virtue”; and he is tempted to use the Evil One, the Father of Lies who also masquerades as the Angel of Light, as his mouthpiece for expounding on the dogmas of the Church! He imagines that if he succeeds in doing that, he will effectively make Diabolos work for the salvation of souls instead of their damnation! And for that, unbeknownst to him, he becomes a marked man. And yes, incredibly, Mjomba succeeds in tricking the Ruler of the Underworld into working against his own interests and helping him craft a thesis that looks like it is a definite winner! But, brilliant as that accomplishment is, is it really worth the price that is exacted by the Ruler of the Underworld and has to be paid by the unwitting Mjomba?THE COLUMBIA REVIEW OF BOOKS & FILM: Humans, The Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants, by Joseph M.
