Cross your heart and hope to die and maybe cross your fingers too, just in case. Then say a prayer and bring a gun . . .

When the three cousins, Jack, Janine and Tommy, decide to attempt a rescue of their friend Karen from the dark island, they expect the worst. "From what we know, it could be demons or it could be aliens," Jack says, loading his backpack with—among other things—guns, dynamite, holy water and a Bible. Kansas farm wife Mildred Basford is the first to see the truth. "I think," she tells her young companions, "it may be both."

Child of the Grail is an adventurous and thrilling tale of good versus evil on an apocalyptic scale, and of the courage of the weak against the seemingly unassailable tyranny of the strong. But it's also, on a more basic level, a story of romance and humor, tragedy and triumph, and that essence of humanity . . . love.

One blustery day, I found myself standing on a Newfoundland headland staring out to sea at a distant and menacing-looking island.

I began to imagine what might be going on there at that very moment, perhaps even underground in a series of tunnels beneath the tall cliffs that girded the island. If those cliffs were impassable and the terrain too hilly for even a chopper to set down, I thought to myself, things could be going on there that nobody in the whole wide world knows about. Could be aliens! Could even be demons! Beautiful women held captive! Plans for world domination! Evil! Violence! Widespread death and destruction!
