TRIBE FOREVER
Sins of the Tribe, by first-time author Mark A. 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.
Sins of the Tribe explores these hard truths: morality is subordinate to tribalism and the need for domination through violent proxies is real. Sins of the Tribe will appeal to football fans as well as fans of fiction.

"I found Sins of the Tribe to be very troubling, but it was too stimulating to put down." —Bill Parcells, winner of Super Bowls XXI and XXV; inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2013.
“In a mesmerizing story of innocence, betrayal, and courage, Mark A. Salter takes us inside the world of college football as seen through the eyes of a ‘true believer,’ a member of an exclusive tribe, who begins to question the human costs such a tribe demands of everyone it touches. Whether or not you follow football or even know the rules of the game, Sins of the Tribe is an amazing read, and its characters will stay with you long after you put the book down.”
—Deborah Feyerick, retired journalist; 20-year CNN National Correspondent
