For anyone who ever got accused of overthinking it.

Thanks to the Dominicans for not giving up.
And thanks to Thomas himself for proving that faith and reason don’t have to fight.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


JJ IS THE author of hundreds of books spanning history, philosophy, power, religion, psychology, systems, and the human condition. He writes clean, readable, brutal books that dig up what most people miss and explain it in a way anyone can follow. His work spans multiple series and styles, but it always returns to the same idea: once you see the structure, you can’t unsee it.
