It's Here!

The first good news is that the printer has completed Flashpoint and the book looks great! the 2nd good bit of news is that it is available at amazon. com (and elsewhere, of course) --must be record-breaking time!

. . . the reviews are pouring in and they are stellar-plus . . . only six appear at amazon so far, but after next week's blog book tour there should be another 10 or so! The blog tour central is at blog.lostgenreguild. com. But more about that next week.

Here is the synopsis for those of you unfamiliar with Frank Creed's novel:

Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground is the story of an alternative future where patriotism meets tyranny, the Patriot Act waxes Stalin-esque and the violence of terrorism has united the world. Set in 2036 Chicago against the backdrop of a global government, the only threat to the One State's absolute power is non-sanctioned religion—fundamentalist beliefs of any kind have been pronounced illegal and treasonous.

We meet main characters David and Jen Williams as they flee peacekeepers busting their home-church. This sparks a Flashpoint in the Body of Christ (BoC), living in the abandoned parts of the Metroplex. Through the use of brain-wave technology, the saints living in the underground are re-formed. David and Jen are uploaded with mindware, and take code names: Calamity Kid and e-girl.

With the aid of high tech gadgets and non-lethal weapons, Calamity Kid and e-girl's terrorist cell in the BoC set out to free imprisioned family, friends and neighbors before they are brainwashed—or worse.
