Short Synopsis
The Electric Church, a new religion founded by a man named Dennis Squalor, is the only thing growing faster than the criminal population, and the authorities want Squalor dead. For killer-for-hire Avery Cates, the assignment will be the most dangerous job he's ever undertaken—and it may be his last.

Full Synopsis
Time is your curse. Lack of time. Everything requires time, and you have so little. This leads me to the fundamental question the Electric Church poses: How can you be saved when you have no time?

Avery Cates is a very bad man. Some might call him a criminal. He might even be a killer—for the right price. But right now, Avery Cates is scared. He's up against the Monks—cyborgs with human brains, enhanced robotic bodies, and a small arsenal of advanced weaponry. Their mission is to convert anyone and everyone to the Electric Church. But there is just one snag: Conversion means death.

"A gritty, original blend of street-smart action and fanciful religious speculation, Somers's stunning debut introduces one of the genre's most promising newcomers." ---Booklist

"An action-filled noir thriller reminiscent of Blade Runner." ---Library Journal

"Some debuts simply set new bars in a genre. Jeff Somers' The Electric Church is one such book, a gritty noir story that challenges and surprises." ---James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Map of Bones
