THE GOD SERIES
This 5 book series takes the young adult reader through the experience of joining a small social group that turns into a worldwide organization and the struggles and challenges with power, money, and friendship.
One of the world’s most influential lobbyist groups was established in 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts by four people. Their ability to persuade local, state, and federal governments throughout the world became legendary. Their group has held audiences with the British Prime Ministers, Fortune 500 companies, as well as many United States Senators, Congressmen, and even the Vice President of the United States. This group known as the G.F.G. grew from a small group of four to nearly 40 Million people with assets of over 850 Billion dollars.
Within six years, this once powerful global organization tumbled amongst internal segregation and international scandals of sexual misconduct, drug abuse, and financial misdeeds.
The G.F.G was established in the home basement of Jonas Koller with other original members; Jonathan Price, Anakin Bowen, and Cassie Morels.
In the end, Jonas Koller was discredited amidst acts of debauchery, lost all his personal fortune of over 600 Billion dollars, and was found dead on the streets by Las Vegas police; he had been shot in the head with a high velocity rifle form long distance, Jonathan Price admitted to embezzlement and went missing in Utah before the FBI could track him down to face federal corruption charges, Anakin Bowen was shot and killed in a Nevada hotel room while entertaining a younger man by fellow G.F.G member Cassie Morels for allegedly having an affair with 19 year old boy, Cassie Morels was shot and killed during a standoff with Arizona State Troopers; killing three troopers outside a Tucson Arizona hotel room only three weeks after shooting Anakin Bowen; her former boyfriend. In her hotel room was one travel bag filled with expensive clothing, one airline ticket to Ireland schedule for departure less than 48 hours later, three Desert Eagle handguns, and over 80,000.000 in cash.
Several weeks before Jonas Koller was found dead, eleven large withdrawals were made from seven different overseas banks in Ireland, London, Prague, and The United States, liquidated into cash, and transferred to Boston, Massachusetts.
This was one of the largest cash transactions in modern banking history.
It has been rumored that both Jonas Koller and Anakin Bowen embezzled most of the foundations assets and intended on splitting the money and relocating somewhere near Saudi Arabia. To this day, a large sum of cash made up of 100 dollar bills, weighing nearly 6 thousand pounds and occupying the space equal to one tractor trailer totaling nearly 100 Billion Dollars Cash has yet to be recovered.
Just before his death, Jonas Koller had agreed to meet with Anakin Bowen and disclose the location of the cash.
Both Jonas and Anakin knew they would have great difficulty in recovering the cash without help. Both Jonas Koller and Anakin Bowen were 19 years old at the time of their deaths.
Two hours before they were to meet in person, the body of Jonas Koller was found without any identification. The only item in his possession at the time of his death was a postcard found in his coat pocket.
The postcard simply read:
“Thank God,
M. Standish.”

“Undoubtedly one of the most disturbing, harrowing books that you will ever read”
- Scottish Daily Record -
“Although not meant to be a horror story, the chilling descriptions
of the author's childhood abuse by his
mother could be mistaken for those of a Stephen King novel.”
- AudioFile- Amazon.com Canada J.A.H. -
“Richard Pelzer makes us aware of that can happen behind closed doors”
- Woman and Home -
“Gut-wrenching recollections of the horrendous years-long abuse
inflicted on the author by his alcoholic, emotionally disturbed mother”
- Kirkus Reviews -
"Told in surprisingly matter-of–fact language..." “...Richard shares courageously and
selflessly his hope of raising awareness and preventing child abuse..."
- Publishers Weekly -
“...he writes with an amazing lack of bitterness toward his other brothers and toward
the social services agency that left him alone.."
"...a story worth reading..."
