I heard about Prayers For The Assassin during an interview of the author, Joe Ferrigno, on the Hugh Hewitt show and decided I had to read it. And am I glad I did.

The year is 2040, and the landscape of America, and the world, has changed. After atomic bombs were set off in New York, Washington D.C. and Mecca, and a civil war in the United States, much of America is now a Muslim nation, with Nevada holding out as the Geneva of the “New World” and the southern Bible belt states.

The hero, a Fedayeen Shadow Warrior named Rakkim is searching for the niece of his former mentor (and the man who raised him as a son) who is in some serious hot water. It seems that Sarah has stumbled upon information so volatile, that her life is endanger, as is the life of anybody she comes in contact with.

Eluding bounty hunters set upon kidnapping her for a powerful Imam, she eventually is united with Rakkim, who is aware that a Fedayeen assassin is on her trail as well.

Prayers for the Assassin is a fast paced, action-packed novel that once you get into it, it refuses to let you go.
