Salter, explores the impact of intense tribalism and its resulting dehumanization in a setting that's popular, wildly flawed, and hiding in plain sight: college football. Wally Hestia is on top of the world when he becomes a member of the Bastille University Tribe football team, a six-time national champion 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 over time, Wally sees morality trampled 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSins of the Tribe\u003c\/i\u003e explores these hard truths: morality is subordinate to tribalism and the need for domination through violent proxies is real. \u003ci\u003eSins of the Tribe\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to football fans as well as fans of fiction.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Salter grew up in Western New York.
