The Golden Sea, warm, and vast, Cameron despised it. Who knew what was down there in its murky depths. Monstrous creatures that could sink a ship with little effort, sending its wooden corpse and all she carried with it, deeper and deeper to its sightless bottom. The ship sailed straight north from Kelmoor Keep, the wind blew strong, and almost constantly from the west. There was no sign of land or anyone else for that matter, just him and the Worthy Passage, and her brave crew. Once past the lengthy body of Baash (which only took four days) the Worthy Passage moved even faster because of the strong westerly current. As they sailed northwest, the air around them became a bit cooler and with little wind. Through his luminance blue eyes he could see a wall of dense fog to the northeast, it stood as an impassable guardian, a bright white tapestry of becloud restricting ones vision, beckoning and mysterious. What could cause this, only one thing he thought, land, or something very big? After many hours, the breeze filled the sails again. Massive sheet of white silk bulging and stretching driving the Worthy Passage forwards towards cloudless sky that was a flaming red as the sun slowly plummeted into the wavy horizon. The middle aged Captain, of the giant galleon Worthy Passage, went by the name, Ren Syzack. He had long filthy black hair with graying streaks and long beard. He was stout, with a drooping face long nose and buggy green eyes. He wore green trousers and a tan shirt covered in stains and smelt something awful. "It is good to see you about getting your share, take a whiff of that salt water." He said stepping up to Cameron uncomfortably close chewing with his mouth open. "I can't pretend, I am not a bit excited. This marks ... ... middle of paper ... ...ened when he saw the frozen scene around him. The snow and ice that covered everything had a glazed aura from the moon that hung carelessly in the sky. Freedom he thought, the conditions on the ship was appalling. How long would it take his cloths to air out from the stench, perhaps fire would be the best to deal with a minor problem. He walked over the gangplank greeted by a dozen or so of the Queen's Guards. (description of her guards) He moved over the icy docks and began to slip but he relaxed and spread his legs and arms to gain his balance. He said nothing to them just looked at the wall of flesh that stood before him. Cameron turned his head, eyes as cold as the air narrowed at the Captain. "Ren Syzack, when we meet again I shall kill you in the most horrid way I can think of, this I promise!" His words spoken loud enough for the guards before him could hear.

    It is incredible the amount of detail Harris delves into. Each reference to religion, he notes their various foibles and incorporates well-reasoned arguments, including others, that support his view. Though there are flaws, The End of Faith is a worthy read that explores the idiosyncrasies of all facets of religion. On a few occasions it seems as if Harris veers off of his intended path and rambles on about extraneous ideas, concepts, or current states that seem to have little to no relevance to
