The Preacher Man

absolutley ythe best i've read

I have been reading since before i started kindergarten in 1984. I read chapter books by 1985. I love reading and this is by far the best and my most favorite story yet. it intrigued me and kept me at the computer for 1 complete day. Thank you and I'll continue to read your works.

Probably the best story on this site

Grabbed my attention and forced me to spend half a day instead of studying. Not that I regret it ;D best reading I had for a long time. Keep up the good work!

thanks

It was great. Spent a day reading it and then thinking about some of the ideas raised in it. A wonderful story and very well-done. Thank you for giving it to us--

Thanks

Simply one of the best things I've read recently. Insightful, intelligent, and well written. Please keep writing.

I've spent 2 days reading it twice...

And it was marvelous how the story was epic, not just erotic. I'm hoping that you would write a side story on how Michal and Dodi regained their long term memories. I wondered whether Abby was culled after Ilias' death or she was spared after the huge changes. Personally, I think that right before he died, the Guide came to her and offered to die with him. But that is merely my pipedream. Thanks for a great story.

i think you should do some sideline stories too

it took me almost 8 hours over two days to read this. i hope you come out with more stuff. an idea for a sidline would be if maybe you could expand on this new society 1000 years in the future from where the story was written

Well worth the read!

Took a good half day to read this and WOW! Very creative, descriptive, and an overall enjoyable read!

Very engaging characters

Wonderful. I have paid good money for far worse reads. I look forward to reading your published work when your novels hit the shelves.

awesome

No other way to depict such an epic story. more, more please

ho. ly. shit.

Please tell me this story does not exist only on literotica. Please tell me you've sent it to every publisher you can think of, or at least to an online publishing company. I was so engrossed in this that I scrolled through all the sex, because I was so intent on seeing what happened next.

Just.... wow.

I've been reading stories on Literotica for at least three years. With VERY FEW exceptions, none has captured my interest like this. And not for this length of time! This... is a masterpiece. Took me three days, at 3 hours a day, to finish this thing. Bravo, Hammingbyrd7.

This is...amazing

I do really hope that you have had this published.

From the detail that you went through in setting up the story, the environment, the societial details...it's brilliant science fiction at its best -- allowing us to view our own prejudices and moral failings through the prism of a parallel society.

Wow

Amazing Story!

Just wanted to say thanks!

I was enthralled by this story! Matter of fact, I got in trouble with my significant other, I could not stop reading. Anytime you want to pour that much of yourself into a story I know a few folks that will read it......besides me. Again, Thank you!!

Great

Definitely worth publishing as a real book; by far the best hear. And I'd buy it even after having read this

awesome

a superb story, and indeed quiet worth publishing. if you do decide to publish it, which I highly recomend, you'll find it highly advantageous to edit out most of the sex, flesh out certain parts a bit more (particually the later part of the civil war) and generally just edit and refine a lot. That said, try a couple different publishers and the book's sure to see shelves.

Well done!

I never expected to read a story such as yours in the medium that is Literotica. I enjoy science fiction, and your premise is a marvel....I really became enthralled. You managed to create a real emotional attachment to the characters and the plight of the world.

Thanks for a great read. Once edited, I would certainly buy this book.

you MUST be published, NOW

I have nothing left to say after all these comments, your stories are absolutely mindblowing. As another person did, i've also paid good money to read stories as well written and amazing as this one. Keep them coming and please try to get published!

Great work

The detail in the story is great. It is an excellent novel. Great story-telling and excellent plotting. I do hope u got this published. Great Story.....

WOW

One of the best stories I've read in a fairly long while. Very creative, well planned, and brilliantly written. Excellent.

Amazing

The quality reminds me of the HBO series Rome.
This will probably be the best story i've ever read for free.

The best story on Literotica

Of all the stories I have read on Literotica, this is absolutely the best. With some minor editing (especially to fix the typos) this could easily be published. I highly recommend you get it edited and submit it to a SciFi anthology.

Great work!

MARVELOUS

FANTASTIC

AMAZING

Great story!

Incredible

This was superb. I'd buy the book. Really incredible.

superbly nice!!!!

it was so nice you fused all aspects in Literature! If this would be a book, I'll buy a thousand copies for it! Make more!

Amazing

I can definitely see this expanding into a series of novels. Well done.

Simply phenomenal.

I've never felt the need to comment on a story on this site, but your work is without equal. I would urge you to publish this story. Over the last three days reading this, I have been constantly thinking about this world you have created.

Thank you very much for your work.

A book please

This is the most impressive piece of literature I have ever read on this site. If this is not published it will be a crime.

simply beautiful

As a lover of science fiction and alternate realities for over 50 years, I have NEVER read anything better than this, including Heinlein, may he rest in peace. He was the first to put sex in SF and yours is better by far and will be acceptable in today's literature. You might want to flesh out some of the charactors when you publish this as the monumental series it would be. His Lazurus was used in how many books? Congratulations on being an emerging force in Science-fiction authorship.

I agree - get published

This is an exceptional piece of writing for this site. Some of the chapters were disjointed - but with more work and editing - it is a very powerful novel that you should try to get published- well done!!

Awesome!

Wow! Where's the book? I'm wiping the tears from my eyes. Found this story yesterday, read until bedtime, rushed home from work to finish the last 10 chapters, each one better than the last! Kind of like Asimov, Heinlin and Clark rolled into one. I'll read it again slower of course. Almost passed it up looking at the title. Very good and not just a little scary to think about in the world today. Please keep writing more!

Outstanding

First of all, that was a THOROUGHLY enjoyable story. In every way. Thank You.


Two things stand out: Your use of numbers is very well planned and implemented, but the usage is too dense for the volume of story you have. I think you can keep everything you have, and even add some more, but you ought to think of letting this story breathe a little more - maybe 5-10% more length, including more of the Book of Bel'Dar and more of the story of the war between the refugees.

Secondly, I'm not sure I have a firm grasp of the motivations of the "bad guys" of this story - the health faction, or the 84th ruler. I'd like these entities to be explored more thoroughly, and I think an excellent way to do it would be to expand your method of writing this as a Holy Book, and expand on the excellent first-person narrative with some objective-third appendices.

Finally, make sure you find someone to proofread your work. It was MORE than acceptable for self-publishing to a website, but I think that if this were a cleaner manuscript, it could be ready for submission to magazines, etc.

GOOD JOB! Keep writing!

wonderful

I loved the story. VERY much. I really like how much effort you put into making a real culture and world. Kinda too heavy on the numbers. But otherwise wonderful.

Extremly good

Dy Far this is by far the best story on Literotica

boring little story.

numbers all over the place, most of the story seems to be a sort of history lesson with no dialog or action to move things along.
Stilted speeches instead of conversations.
Definitely not publishable for profit.

The best so far on Literotica

I'll give it a 7 out of 5. Couldn't stop reading.

Beyond my expectations!!!

Speechless !!!, Many Thanks... and please continue!!!
Never in my wild imagination to read such as this breathtaking story. Characters emotion as well as details of story plotline,... What is i think of simple Priest story turn into such a fantastic what is "perfect" future world be like.
You are absolutely is on of my best author so far !!!

Good sex, even.

Nice job. What a huge amount of work you put into this. I especially like the tenderness of many of the sex scenes and the dscriptions of locations.


The plot could use a bit more complexity. It gets tiresome reading about a knight in shining armour who can not do any wrong in the eyes of the people he saves.

My Kudos to you are humbled and ridiculed by the fact that I can never dream of writing something as complex and beautiful at the same time.

Your vision of lifen in the future and how they are based on social criticisms of the present and our history are so balanced yet not judgemental.

As an Arab I was also fond of your uses of the good and bad of some of our cultures, and I found them to be adequately tongue in cheek that they were not offensive (not to me anyway).

You maintained a spiritual hope to humanity while seriously attacking hte corruption of organized releigion, Kudos here too.

All in all I wish to echo the accolades given to you by the others. I had thought that Kinetic was a masterpiece, this is even better.

I still think that you seriously need to consider publishing and mini series on TV. Your descriptions were so rich that I was able to live the action through your words and see the scenery.

well done

very good reading

I liked the story so much that I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. Its just like a paper back novel I cant put down.

Amazing Fantasy

Too good... lot of effort an be seen on it... most of the stories i have read lift of something from fantasy books in circulation ... why so much from the muslim customs is something i would like to ask ?? The most famous fantasy fiction author who has used something on the similar lines would be frank herbert. The class system and virgin thing was out of this world... kudos waiting for the next one:0

Should be published

Amazing story, so very deep, I was even looking forwards to returning from holiday so I could continue reading your story.


Definitely gave me a Dune feel, which is a very good thing (not just similarity with religion, but the development of the main character, the massive plots to change the world).


Your whole storyline was so incredibly well detailed.


I seriously think if you toned down the erotica parts and got this published it would beat many commercial sci-fi books.


Loved the last couple of pages, really nice way to end the story.


Thank you for a great story (story doesn't even do it justice, thank you letting me witness this adventure).

Wow!

Best story in literotica. Although a bit hasty in the end, it's definitely publishable material!

Awesome and very publishable

PLEASE submit this to the various SF publishing houses. Given today's attitudes on sex you won't even have to tone the sex down very much. This is the best of the stories you have here on Literotica and by far the best thing I've read on this site. I almost didn't read this one because of the title and description (Theocracies frighten me), but decided to take a chance. Glad I did. Now I'm going to read the Preacher's Daughter.

A Best Seller!

This is definitely a best seller! couldnt stop till I finished the entire story! No less than Tolkiens and Rowlings of the world!

Greatest ever

I don't know where your day-to-day talents lie - but you might consider swapping them for writing (if you haven't done so yet ( on the other hand, making a profession out of a hobby can seriously hurt the attitude toward the hobby))

I liked it a lot, but thought - quite as others - that the end was a bit hastend. But only slightly.

A true masterpiece with a lot of plot - and steamy interludes, just a perfect mix.

Please continue writing, we will all surely enjoy
with highest regards
Shaya

Inspiring

a work of art that i can read over and over and still enjoy. the level of detail is very intricate, and the characters descriptions and wordings were very easy to imagine. a definate best seller, if were to be sold.

THE BEST IN LITEROTICA!!!!!

I love every bit of it, the wordings, the numbers, the sex even the dialogues! Although for others this story could get boring and i mean those who don't have the attention span of a genius.

Anyway, if you thought of writing a new sequel or a new story, please write it NOW!

omg, this is amazing

this doesnt just appeal to the people interested in sex, anyone who can find th time to read this would love it. the ending was amazing. it mae me cry and truly appreciate the grace of god
