Book Description
The Messiah of the Old Testament was no Prince of Peace. He was expected to come with sword and fire and raze the old kingdoms to the ground. There were four signs by which he would be known. Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled only one of the signs. That was more than a dozen other would-be Messiahs could boast. Until 2047 A.D., when a grifter named Jeremiah the B fulfills them all and puts the world in more jeopardy than it’s been in since the comet hit 65 million years ago! Back in print after 15 years, complete and unabridged, here is Mike Resnick’s controversial classic, The Branch. “A stunner of a book.” — Barry N. Malzberg

As the kingpin of an immense criminal empire, Solomon Moody Moore is astonished to learn that the assassination attempt he just survived was arranged by a small-time crook named "Jeremiah the B." When the upstart criminal inexplicably survives a retaliatory hail of gunfire from Moore's best sharpshooters, Solomon discovers he's engaged in a battle of biblical proportions with Immanuel Jeremiah Branch--the Jewish Messiah.
