You know you're reading a good book when you think to yourself "Damn! This would make a great book!" I had that feeling a couple of times while reading The Electric Church by Jeff Somers.
Somers tells the tale of a post-apocalyptic caper that takes his characters from the depths of the gutter to the upper echelons of power. It's a wild ride with lots of action and I'm sure it would make a fantastic summer blockbuster action flick. I imagined Edward Norton as the main character, Avery Cates, and maybe that kid fromThe New Kid as his sidekick Kev Gatz.
This book really has it all: cybernetic monks, sadistic police, and a crumbling social order controlled by bureaucratic fatcats.
Highly recommended for fans of Richard Morgan and anybody else who likes a good post-apocalytpic tale of the underdog.
Stay tuned for a review of the sequel: The Digital Plague
