Sinopsis

For decades, a live nuclear shell has waited undetected beneath tons of concrete. But when a clerk in the U.S. Army learns of its existence, he sees it as a chance to get whatever he desires. The finding sets into motion a religious crusade, and not just one. A collection of dangerous sociopaths all vie to uncover and secure control of the shell, and all for their own reasons. Each one, in their own way, feels that some higher force is guiding them. There is a reclusive engineer who worships the lost shell as a deity and wants nothing more than to blow up Hummer dealerships. An ATF pencil pusher thinks that finding the lost shell will catapult his career. A racist, recruited to assassinate a black congressman, covets the shell as the perfect weapon. And a cult leader wants to trade it for cash. None of these people, however, knows exactly where the shell is located. Only a former porn star living in constant terror knows how to find it. Find out if the fate of the world will be determined by a reckless individual or if all them are just unwitting pawns in The Thumbprint of God.

Reseña del editor

The accidental discovery of a long-lost nuclear artillery shell is fatefully interwoven with the life paths of several dangerous sociopaths. In its dark journey across present-day America, the shell is inevitably drawn to its ultimate destination due to the selfish desires of these unwitting pawns. A reclusive engineer on a campaign to blow up Hummer dealerships worships the shell as God. A racist redneck recruited to assassinate a black congressman wants to use it as a weapon. An ATF pencil-pusher with ADD covets it as stepping stone for his career. An aging cult leader seeks to barter it for cash, while only an ex-porn star living in constant terror knows its exact location! Their separate idealist agendas clash throughout the story with increasing savagery and mayhem, leaving only destruction and pain in their wake. Is it God directing them, or something sinister?
