The Electric Church is a new title by Jeff Somers, being released by Orbit Books this September.

In a rough and seemingly hopeless future, Avery Cates is a hired assassin. Constantly on the run from the authorities, Cates begins to uncover a large-scale conspiracy involving a growing religion called the Electric Church. Its converts become “immortal” by becoming cyborgs, with only their brains placed in enhanced bodies.

At first, I was bothered with the continuous swearing in the dialog, a bit like a Quentin Tarantino film. But the dialog adds to the gritty, noir feel. This is a dark, intense and suspenseful novel that had me on the edge of my seat. The cyborg Monks are as frightening as bad guys get. And the anti-hero, Cates is has a conscience despite his ruthless profession.

With the amount of suspense and surprises, this story is guaranteed excitement.
