The Electric Church

Jeff Somers’ The Electric Church is the story of a professional killer who accidentally kills a member of the brutal and near-omnipotent police force that keeps order in his futuristic world. However, rather than be killed, he is hired to assassinate the head of the world’s fastest growing religion. A religion that takes over your brain in a more brutal and literal sense than that favoured by most religions. In order to accomplish this near-impossible task and collect his near-impossibly pay cheque, the killer has to hire a group of colourful experts who bring their own baggage with them, only adding to the problems facing the assassin.
