Debut novel bridges science fiction and Christianity

February 10, 2008

In Chicago 2036 of an alternative future siblings ‘Calamity Kid and e-girl fearlessly walk the valley of death. The Patriot Act waxes Stalin-esque and the violence of terrorism has united the world. Fundamentalist terrorists are the One State’s only threat: including Bible-believing Christians. When peacekeepers make a home-church bust in the Chicago Metroplex, only Calamity Kid and his sister evade capture and turn to the ‘Body of Christ Underground’ where they adopt street-names, undergo spiritual and technological reformation, and slip between the cracks of Chicago. They’ll need every molecule of their re-formed faith to face down peacekeepers, gangers, One-State Neros, and fallen-angels. Their mission: to save believers before they’re rehabbed and brainwashed, or worse, by the One State Neros.
