<p><em>The Ten</em> is a collection of ten short stories based on The Ten Commandments.</p><p>The collection is broken down into two volumes of five short stories each. The stories range greatly in time periods, ethnic cultures, and subject matter.</p><p>Stories in the first volume deal with drug addiction, radical Islam, child molestation and redemption, denying God and the Sabbath Day, and honoring one&rsquo;s parents.</p><p>The subject matter is hard-hitting and is told as realistically as possible. In some cases, stories come from personal experience, but they have been changed a bit to give them more viability in a story format.</p><p>J. Anson Brandes is retired from law enforcement and lives in Dover, Delaware. This is his fourth novel. He is now writing the sequel.</p><p><strong>Publisher&rsquo;s website: </strong>http://sbpra.com/JAnsonBrandes</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
