Debut sci-fi novel from radio veteran Mike Luoma features Muslim-Christian war and religious assassinations.
Burlington, VT (PRWEB) February 10, 2006 -- Mike Luoma presents his debut novel, "Vatican Assassin", an edgy story of political and religious intrigue set in the not-to-distant future! Luoma takes a DIY approach to publishing, releasing his novel "Vatican Assassin" using the innovative web site Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.
"Vatican Assassin" begins in 2109, with humanity on the verge of an interplanetary religious war between Muslims and the Christian West. "Vatican Assassin" is the story of Bernard Campion, better known as “BC”. He works undercover. BC seems to be a young priest working PR for the Vatican. Truth is, BC kills people… for the Pope!
Mike Luoma wrote "Vatican Assassin" in his off time. Luoma is the Afternoon Drive DJ on 106.7 WIZN-FM in Burlington, Vermont, the state’s top rated Classic Rock station. "Vatican Assassin" is available for purchase locally in Burlington, Vermont at Borders and Earth Prime Comics. "Vatican Assassin" is available for online purchase at Amazon.com, at Luoma’s website, glowinthedarkradio.com, and at www.lulu.com.
“I wanted to put my book out my way,” said Mike Luoma. “Religion, Sex, Politics… I’m writing about controversial issues regular publishers don’t want to touch. BC, my lead character, is a priest who swears, who has sex, and who kills people for the Pope,” Luoma said. “I love the fact I can publish "Vatican Assassin" independently. It’s said that print-on-demand is the wave of the future. That future is now,” said Mike Luoma. “I’m using the publishing paradigm of the future to put out my Science Fiction novel… that seems appropriate!”
