The Temptations of St. Ed and Brother S is a richly original novel about people caught in a contemporary conflict between nuclear and spiritual energy. It is the mid1990s. The U.S. government plans to install the nation's first highlevel nuclear waste dump in a remote mountain in the southern Nevada desert. Two modernday monks suddenly find themselves in a violent struggle to protect their tiny hermitage against the enormous forces of the U.S. Department of Energy.Fantastical, funny, and philosophically disturbing, Frank Bergon's ambitious novel tells the story of modern seekers in today's new West. Edward St. John Arrizabalaga a fortynineyearold desert visionary nicknamed "St. Ed" has a dream of a new monastic order for the modern world. Brother S, a young, idealistic former lumberjack from the Oregon coast, keeps the solarpowered hermitage functioning while he secretly longs for a mystical experience. Together, the two monks follow as best they can the fifteenhundredyearold traditions of Western monasticism.Faced with a growing clash between their own spiritual energy and the DOE, the monks undergo numerous temptations. Brother S struggles with the temptations of the flesh. St. Ed faces his greatest temptation when he recognizes the conflict between the faith that underlies a technological society and the faith that supports a spiritual community.The longings and dilemmas of these spiritual pilgrims become our own and all America's as we approach the uncertainties of the next millennium. Frank Bergon's powerful novel dramatizes the inner lives of intriguing modernday monks, contemporary Shoshone Indians, a Basque prospector, a MexicanAmerican BLM ranger, a DOE nuclear test site worker, a Las Vegas TV talkshow host, and numerous desert dwellers engulfed in a controversy that is a current concern for all of us today. The Temptations of St. Ed and Brother S offers a dramatic, highspirited search for recoverable sources of spiritual energy in our nuclear age.
