It isn't often that I'm excited about a book release. I confess to looking forward with anticipation to each Harry Potter book as they came out. And announcements of new titles by Neil Gaiman, Tim Powers, James P. Blaylock and John Ringo will make me cut back on the extra hot lattes in order to save some money for the book.
Add to that list of authors Robert Ferrigno's Assassin Series. In August readers will be greeted with the third installment in this trilogy. From Robert's blog comes this enticing description:
"In Heart of the Assassin, time is running out for both nations
that once made up the USA --- the Islamic republic and the Bible Belt.
Weakened by their division and their own intellectual and moral decay,
they are threatened by the expansionist dreams of the Atzlan Empire
(Mexico.) The only solution is to somehow reunite the two nations. Time
is also running out for the Old One. Over 150 years old, long used to
the idea of his own near immortality, he is dying and with him the idea
of recreating a world-wide Caliphate. He is not happy."
Every conservative (let alone every fan of thriller fiction) should have this amazing series on his or her bookshelf. I can't wait till August when the book hits the stores. I know I'll be there with bells on to pick up my copy.
Bookmark and keep an eye on
Robert's blog since, "In a couple months [he will] post the first chapter of
Heart, which
features Lester Gravenholtz, one of [his] favorite badguys, skulking in a
rundown Neuvo Florida themepark, Castroland!, waiting to kill the
Atzlan oil minister. Fun ensues."
