Seventh Star Press is proud to announce that Anderson
O’Donnell is coming aboard with his highly-acclaimed dystopian/noir novel Kingdom
and future books featuring Tiber
City
Kingdom will be released as a second edition by Seventh Star
Press during the summer of 2014, with future Tiber City
Kingdom became an
indie book sensation in 2012, when Kirkus Reviews made it one of their top 25
Indie Books of 2012, saying this about the novel: “A taut, brilliantly
conceived thriller with impeccable pacing bursting with ideas…For fans of
noir-laden science fiction in the vein of Philip K. Dick that is in equal
measures suspenseful, gripping, darkly funny and philosophically challenging.”
Kingdom takes the reader into a secret laboratory hidden
under the desert, where a covert bioengineering project—codename “Exodus”—has
discovered the gene responsible for the human soul.
Somewhere in the neon sprawl outside the nation’s collapsing
economic core, a group of renegade monks are on the verge of uncovering a
secret that has eluded mankind for centuries.
In a glittering tower high above the urban decay, an
ascendant U.S. Senator is found dead—an apparent, yet inexplicable, suicide.
And in the streets below, a young man races through an ultra
modern metropolis on the verge of a violent revolution….closing in on the
terrible truth behind Exodus—and one man’s dark vision for the future of
mankind.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
