The wedding was weeks away for two young lovers, who had counted themselves
lucky to have found one another. Then, it was over, as one of them abruptly
disappeared. Audrey was not abducted. Not exactly. She was not taken against
her will. Rather, her will itself had been taken. Coerced and controlled.
Deceived and derailed. Matthias cannot walk away from the catastrophe,
though he has nothing to go on, and is in the dark beyond all personal
darkness he has ever known . . .
The Contraption is a novel that deals with the challenges faced by a woman
who has been recruited into a dangerous, coercive religious cult. Her
fiancé is left not knowing even where she is. Her name has been
changed and she has been relocated to another state. The cult, Church of the
Mountain of Radiance, is an all-controlling psychological prison.
About the Author
The author, Barton A. Stewart, is a long time student of the cult
phenomenon, and literary fiction. The Contraption marries together his two
long time interests. Stewart has lived all over the United States, is
presently single, and currently calls Metro Boston home. His book will be
among the most realistic fictional depictions of the kinds of things that
can happen in cases like this. Avoiding the sensationalism of so many novels
on this subject, Stewart offers a look into another world, which
unfortunately exists in the here and now.
