Preston Wells
Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Preston Wells is a movement strategist working inside Beacon: in his forties, a good plain suit, a face you'd forget on the street and remember in the room. He has watched Russell preach forty Sundays, he admires Erin's work, and he means it. He never raises his voice and rarely says anything you could object to. His case is a simple one. The faithful should stop shouting from outside the door and take their seat at the table, because purity, as he puts it, is a kind of cowardice that photographs well.
