Spellbinder - Harold Robbins

He was young but already a leader, ambitious and charismatic.

He had power over others, both men and women, and wanted more. He had faith in himself because he knew his power came from the Lord.

He had served in Vietnam, lived and flourished in California. His virile good looks and magnetism drew his followers to do his bidding without question. 

He was The Preacher.

Here was a man ready to be funded and promoted by a Texan billionaire. A man to spearhead a revivalist campaign using all the power of television and the media to force home a message, whether promise or threat, that could change the very nature of American society.

And beneath the public surface of his great morale crusade surged the sexual passions and conflicts that could threaten everything - even bring about his own personal destruction.
