New York, NY: Pocket Books, 2006. First printing [stated]. Mass-market paperback. Glued binding. [12], 458, [26] p. Maps. Robert Ferrigno (born 1947) is an American author of crime novels and of speculative fiction. Eight books published between 1990 and 2004 were additions to the detective and thriller genres, while the post 9/11 'Assassin trilogy' is set in an imagined United States dominated by Islam. From the author's website: "I spent the next five years gambling full-time and living in a high-crime area populated by starving artists, alcoholics and petty criminals. After a time, I got restless and used some of my winnings to start a punk rock magazine called "The Rocket." The success of "The Rocket" got me a job as a feature writer for a daily newspaper in Southern California, where I took the adventure-and-new-money beat. Over the next seven years I flew with the Blue Angels, drove Ferraris and went for desert survival training with gun nuts." Condition: Good. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some minor edge curling. Small edge tears.
