An autobiographical novel, Orth is not a book for everyone nor is it for those who enjoy pulp novels. It is a man's book, and follows the path of an eccentric who discovers Christ late in life. He becomes serious about living an intellectual and moral existence, yet he is not prudish or sanctimonious. Join him on his pilgrim's path through life, as he goes from boy to Korean War mud soldier, student and scholar, and finally retired professor. His experience will excite the imaginations of the discerning reader and those who enjoy a story that is sagacious, adventurous and unusual.
