A Division of Brothers. Sins of the Tribe, by first-time author Mark Salter, delves into the profound consequences of intense tribalism and its dehumanizing effects through a widely embraced and often flawed medium: college football. Wally Hestia finds himself at the pinnacle of success when he joins the Bastille University Tribe football team, a formidable force renowned for its impeccable reputation and nationwide fan base. However, his presence on the team is primarily driven by his duty to support his mentally disabled brother, Henry, a remarkable kicking prodigy who serves as the source of Wally's purpose. Yet, as Wally immerses himself in the world of tribal dominance, he witnesses the moral compass being trampled upon in the name of asserting dominance. When Wally finds himself at odds with Bastille, putting himself and Henry in danger, he is faced with a crucial decision: whether to align himself with the larger tribe and its adulation or embrace the idyllic values that Bastille had purportedly upheld, even if it means sacrificing everything he has. Sins of the Tribe delves into the darker aspects of tribalism, unearthing themes of greed, jealousy, and the intricate dynamics of brotherhood. This captivating novel will resonate with football enthusiasts as well as readers who appreciate fiction in general.
