The Ring, The Bomb, and the Word


Book Description

In the suspenseful thriller The Ring, The Bomb, and the Word, a home-grown terrorist group threatens to set off a nuclear bomb in Miami to prevent 10,000 same sex couples from marrying. Till death do us part has never sounded more prophetic! While the terrorists see their mission as a direct mandate from God, a group of Homeland Security agents try to foil their plot that makes 9/11 pale in comparison. As the wedding date draws near, the agents scramble to track down the bomb, as it makes its way from the former Soviet Union. Agent Chuck Chisolm has only seconds to find God, himself, and the courage to diffuse the bomb before Miami turns into radioactive dust. Here’s what readers are saying: “This book is a masterpiece.” “While reading the book, it makes you realize that no matter who you are, you still need the Divine One.” “I am thinking, who in Hollywood will be cast to play the characters?” “This book makes great reading because of how the author leads you through and builds your curiosity so you just want to know what happens next.”
