Nothing Sacred Book

"Reading NOTHING SACRED is like attending an evangelical camp meeting for religious skeptics--a hand-clapping, foot-stomping, drum-beating, alleluia-shouting celebration of the sovereign human mind. I invite all fans of philosophical science fiction to step inside the tent and watch Tom Flynn work his magical demystification of consecrated nonsense and sanctified absurdity. All praise the Darwinian selection processes for accidentally giving us this hilarious and valuable writer." -- James Morrow, author of ONLY BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER and TOWING JEHOVAH If Harlan Ellison, Tom Clancy, James Morrow, and Friedrich Nietzsche cowrote a novel, they might produce NOTHING SACRED. This sequel to Tom Flynn's critically acclaimed first novel, GALACTIC RAPTURE, takes place in a galaxy-wide future civilization that's obsessed with religion, yet furious at Terra (Earth) for giving rise to the most popular creeds of all. Terra may be the planet where humanity originated, but sophisticated Galactics treat it like a dismal stepchild. Few Terrans seek their fortunes among the stars. Those who try face patronizing discrimination. Into this Galactic crucible leaps Earth-boy Gram Enoda, alongside an impossibly intelligent electronic sidekick who's simultaneously his secret weapon and the bane of his existence. Enoda just wants to get rich. Instead he stumbles into the center of a top-secret, half-baked plan to (yes, literally) save the galaxy. Like GALACTIC RAPTURE, NOTHING SACRED is brimming with complex plotting, searing black humor, colorful characters, and penetrating examinations of religious and philosophical issues--all woven into a can't-put-it-down techno-thriller.Read More
