The Catacombs

In The Catacombs, the biblical "Legion" surfaces in World War II just outside the city of Kerch in the Crimean Peninsula in a village called Adjumazkai. The Catacombs takes the reader back to a fascinating account of hundred of Russians who fled before the advancing German army in the Crimean Peninsula. There the Russian forces held out for almost five months by living in the "catacombs." The kilometers of abandoned tunnels formerly served as a source for limestone for city homes and buildings. For a time in 1942 it hid soldiers, partisans, women and children from the Germans and also a more sinister presence. The story focuses on a cast of characters German and Russian struggling with the evils of war and under the influence of Legion on both sides of the conflict. The masses of Hitler's Germany honoring their beloved Fuehrer and the solidarity of the godless Communists under Stalin are two sides of the same dark spirits that Jesus did battle with 2,000 years before. The story shows the ability of the Lord and those who trust him to defeat the darkness.
