Like Salman Rushdie's "Joseph Anton" Kevin Annett's novel, through the scope and freedom of fiction, allows him to describe the trials of a man who seeks to oppose and bring to justice people in high places who are protected by the government, the justice system, and the popular media. The action ranges from Vancouver Island to Central Florida and spans some thirty years of the protagonist's life. It is a human tragedy written with humor and compassion. It is strictly for a mature and serious readership of all ages.

THE BOOK: It feels good in the hands. Comfortable choice of font, point, line spacing, paper. From that standpoint, a pleasure to read.THE READ: In a word, excruciating. Annett is an accomplished writer and a natural master of words. It's advisable to undertake the read when you can go into your own depths, whatever that takes. It will drag you through the sediment of your own basest impulses, inspire you to the rawest honesty a human heart can realize, and then dare you to bridge the great divide between, with no devices and no tools, equipped only with the laser burn of that searing honesty.
THE MAN: Galileo...Snowden...Socrates. Annett is a teacher among us from whom we could learn how to save the world (isn't that what we all want to do, yes, no?). In the end, he calls himself a witness. Not only has he seen and heard, he has told what he has seen and heard. It is that witness, which he brazenly puts forth in this novel, which will do its part to turn the tides we all ride in these times. A story not included in "Samuel Wedge" is an exorcism he once performed on the Vatican - the sort of "brazenness" to which I refer. The fact that he persists in the telling, using one medium after another, is a modern-day marvel, and I, for one, am grateful.

Samuel Wedge Memoir of Necropolis
On The Thin Edge of Honor and Destruction
Kevin Annett’s new novel, Samuel Wedge (AuthorHouse, Bloomington, Indiana, $19.95) is a slowly evolving chronicle of evil told by an old man, trying but failing to escape from a terrible secret. More sober than Joyce Cary’s larcenous but charming Gulley Jimson, but devastated less by the honor of struggle than Hemingway’s Old Man, Santiago, Wedge vacillates between his Florida sanctuary and his former Davidian confrontation, his combat avec ses defenseurs, with overpowering adversaries as a former young pastor in a remote logging town on Vancouver Island.
In his former bucolic life, he discovers and reveals the terrible history of Canada’s religious colonialism and thinly masked murder. In return he is pilloried, ostracized and marginalized by church and state, enduring an ideological combat avec ses defenseurs. Ultimately, sadder, wiser, but not totally bereft of hubris, he is left to confront his own private leviathan in Florida’s elephantine graveyard.
But just as Wedge’s isolated horror story expands and becomes a sickening metaphor for universal evil imbedded in the seats of the mighty, for the American reader, the comfortable contemplation of an Erehwon world to the North whose deadly simplicity gradually evokes the understanding that ubiquitous evil walks among us all. In the councils of church and state, Wedge discovers, and beyond – in the very boardrooms, the editorial offices and the judicial chambers of those who lever today’s world – there is murderous injustice in the form of tiny crucifixions that routinely occur, never talked about, much less mentioned, in our carefully manicured society and our narrowly censored media. And the thin edge of lonely heroism is all that can save us from destruction.
Like Santiago more than Gulley Jimson, Samuel Wedge – as simply as a little child – serves to lead us.

Reverend Kevin D. Annett, BA, MA, MDiv, has lectured widely in Europe and America and has been a community worker, ordained minister, writer, filmmaker, and broadcaster. In 1992, as pastor in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he discovered a history of atrocity suggesting genocide in his church’s residential school that had taken place for more than a century. Such had been the case in 140 such “schools” across Canada, which have been run by the major churches. Refusing to remain silent, he was discharged by his church and defrocked. For more than twenty years, he has advocated and worked internationally toward justice for indigenous people. In 2015, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.
Samuel Wedge is an autobiographical novel based on his story. Kevin Annett has produced and directed Unrepentant, an internationally award-winning feature-length film and has produced three non fiction books, one of which, Love and Death in the Valley, was published by AuthorHouse in 2002 and is still selling twelve years later. He has thousands of active followers of his International Tribunal into the Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) and common law courts in many countries around the world.
This is one of the most important books of our time. Kevin is my hero.
