MatchTal Resources announces its debut publication, Zeus: The Avenger.

Reginald Beal's riveting saga, a work of historical fiction, addresses two controversial questions as relevant today as they were in 1968 — Who assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and why?

Book Description

Reginald Beal's riveting debut novel, Zeus: The Avenger, defies genre classification as it combines well-researched historical events, global politics, the mystic art and science of astrology and conspiracy theories.

The controversial novel probes King's assassination through the story of Richard (Rick) Champion, a successful African-American entrepreneur on a relentless thirty-year quest to avenge the murder. Although Dr. King was unswervingly devoted to non-violent, peaceful protest, Rick employs surreptitious means to identify the perpetrators and violent means to eliminate them. Rick, however, has a second major objective — world peace. Rick recognizes that ultimately world peace cannot be achieved through violent means. As Dr. King so eloquently stated, “Let no man pull you so low that you hate him. Always avoid violence. If you sow the seeds of violence in your struggle, unborn generations will reap the whirlwind of social disintegration.” To facilitate world peace, Rick believes that a compassionate, strong, humane, intelligent, charismatic leader is needed. He employs astrology to identify the place, date and time of birth that will yield a child with the characteristics required. Rick's wife, Joy, gives birth to Raymond who becomes Secretary General of the United Nations.

Symbolized by the mythical traits of the Greek god, Zeus, the novel is rich with intrigue and driving issues of our time: civil rights strife, minority business development and the hidden rage of successful African Americans. Zeus: The Avenger is an emotionally and intellectually stimulating journey into a world of love and hate, violence and non-violence, conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, success and failure, the natural and the supernatural.
