Prayers for the Assassin

I had the great pleasure of reading an advance copy of Robert Ferrigno’s new novel Prayers for the Assassin, and I highly recommend it. It’s a fast-paced thriller with believable, fully drawn characters, in a future America where most of the country has become an Islamic republic after a nuclear sneak attack blamed on Israel. Ferrigno knows his subject, and I think LGF readers will be especially impressed by the level of detail about Islam (radical and otherwise) on display. It takes a bit of a leap of faith to accept the premise, but you’ll end up convinced (and maybe more than a little disconcerted) by the vision of an America where San Francisco has become a center of strict shari’a law.

Buy it and read the whole thing. You won’t be sorry.

 Frank says:

The family was from Arkansas. The Dad (Dink) was a furniture salesman in San Bernardino, but back in the way-back-when he used to play 'bones' or 'spoons' in a minstrel show. To relive the golden days of yesteryear he would, from time to time, force his children to accompany him (Ronnie on guitar, Kenny on trombone) in a living room replay of a minstrel routine called "Lazy Bones."

The kids often found this to be an inconvenience, as they were fascinated by, and constantly perfecting new techniques for, The Manly Art Of Fart-Burning. Kenny explained to me that it was scientific - that it demonstrated (this is a real quote) "Compression, ignition, combustion and exhaust." -- Kenny & Ronnie Williams (later immortalized in "Let's Make The Water Turn Black").
