Signs and Wonders
In late 1999, in the midst of a brutal hurricane on the Baltic coast, a concrete prison barge rips free of its moorings. Of thousands of Europe's most dangerous criminals, only the twelve depraved souls in cellblock 306 survive. One of the twelve is their Savior. As word spreads of the Second Coming, some think the "Messiah" is a fraud, some think he's deluded, and many, with a deep need to believe, do so.
Rife on the surface with Bukiet's trademark black humor and rage toward a malevolent God, Signs and Wonders seethes below with a courageous, poignant study of history, humanity, religion, and faith.
