"Shocked and delighted"

Wed Sep 25 2024

Blazing Reader,

I sent Seán ÓLaoire, PhD, author of Setting God Free: Moving Beyond the Caricature We've Created in Our Own Image, an advanced copy of my forthcoming novel, All the Humans Are Sleeping. Here's what he had to say about my dystopian tale:

"In sports, it's called 'back-to-back championship-title wins.' In literature, it's called 'two masterpieces in a row.' John Manley has hit the ball out of the park again in his latest novel, All the Humans Are Sleeping. He has the research knowledge of a polymath — history, geography, agriculture, AI technology, languages, music... Curl up and be prepared to be both shocked and delighted at the same time."

"Shocked and delighted" — I love that! It sums up how I seek to depict the drama of life in my fiction.

And for a shocking and delightful take on Christianity, the Bible and religion in general, I highly recommend you check out the controversial books and videos of Father Seán ÓLaoire (who was expulsed from the Catholic Church for not agreeing with the prevailing dogmas) at: https://spiritsinspacesuits.com/

Stay sane & read great books,
John C.A. Manley
