THE ELECTRIC CHURCH ETERNAL PEACE go to the full The novel is set in a dystopian classic scenario, a twenty-first century sees the world after Unification (mysterious sequence of events that brings the entire planet under one government) clearly divided between a privileged elite and the great mass of poor, outcasts and criminals. The security forces maintain order in the system: they are spaccateste, street cops easily corruptible, especially pigs, cruel federal agents who appear to have averted the only entertainment on the population. In rapid rise in this infernal world is the Electric Church, a cult born from the mind of a scientist, Dennis Squalor, which promises immortality to every man, turning it into a Monaco through the engagement of her brain in the body of a cyborg.
The protagonist of the novel, Avery Cates, belongs to the scum of New York, is a professional killer. Despite having less than thirty years, it is considered already an old man in that world where few arrive at middle age. But, as in classic script, is primarily a "bad from the good principles," conscious of the injustice of the system. After accidentally killing a security guard, hunted by the police, he finds himself in the midst of a much bigger deal than he could imagine, discovering the terrible truth behind the seemingly innocuous Electric Church.
classic scenario we said, enriched by a single, yet powerful, original idea that we did not anticipate to not spoil the surprise. The novel can be read in one breath, supported by a smooth and exciting plot, based on the figure of a character, Avery Cates, in which the reader plunges immediately. Of course, the background is a bit 'naive in his character Manichean (good or bad: there is no middle ground) and a number of questions does not even attempt to answer (what has led to the unification?), But aspects do not really essential to what he wants to be a "simple" science fiction adventure novel, borders on the thriller. So pleasant and recommended reading.
