When Toru Narazaki's girlfriend, Ryoko, disappears, he tries to track her down, despite the warnings of a private detective he's hired to find her. Ryoko's past is shrouded in mystery, but the one concrete clue to her whereabouts is a previous address where she lived: in a compound in the heart of Tokyo, with a group that seems to be a cult led by a charismatic guru with a revisionist Buddhist scheme of life, death, and society. Narazaki plunges into the secretive world of the cult, ready to expose himself to any of the guru's brainwashing tactics if it means he can learn the truth about Ryoko. But the cult isn't what he expected, and he has no idea of the bubbling violence beneath its surface. Inspired by the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, Cult X is an exploration of what draws individuals into extremism. This multi-faceted novel is nothing less than a tour de force, capturing the connections between astrophysics, neuroscience, and religion. It is an invective against predatory corporate consumerism and exploitative geopolitics, and it is a love story about compassion in the face of nihilism"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult New Books Nakamura   Lost 09/13/2022 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura Suspense Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction NAKAMURA   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Nakamura   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Mystery Nakamura M Lost 09/09/2023 Add Copy to MyList
