A Division of Brothers. Sins of the Tribe, by first-time author Mark Salter, explores the impact of intense tribalism and its resulting dehumanization through a popular and wildly flawed source: college football. Wally Hestia is on top of the world when he becomes a member of the Bastille University Tribe football team, a powerhouse with a pristine reputation and a nationwide following. But he's only on the team as the holder for his mentally deficient brother, Henry, a kicking prodigy and the person who gives Wally purpose. But once on the team, Wally sees morality trampled underfoot for the larger cause of tribal dominance. When Wally finds himself in opposition to Bastille to the point where he and Henry are in danger, he must choose between the adulation of the larger tribe or embrace the idyllic virtues Bastille had draped itself in, even if it means losing everything.
Sins of the Tribe explores the dark side of tribalism and themes such as greed, jealousy, and the complexities of brotherhood and will appeal to football fans as well as readers of fiction in general.
Mark Salter played college football and briefly in the NFL. He has a bachelor's degree from Canisius College and a master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of the South Florida Writers Association and has won several short story contests. He currently resides in Jupiter, Florida.
