HL is proud to welcome a new advertiser. It is Michael O’ Mc Carthy and his new book Rebels In Hell
The boy, from the United States whose radical father is murdered by right wing hit men; the girl fleeing from the rape and beating by her Mexican, landowner step-father. The boy, rising to become a revolutionary rock and roll guitarist know as Coilean, La Artista; the girl know as Petra, in honor of the great Mexican female revolutionary who fought with Villa.
Around them rose the tens of thousands. Together they are rebels in love leading a rebellion in the midst of Hell.
Excerpt of Book Review by The Hartford Advocate
Michael O’McCarthy proves himself to be a polemical fictionalist in the mold of Orwell and Huxley. Take his protagonist, Healy, an idealistic writer whose ire was “focused on the politicians who had stolen the country for the rich.” Hmmmm. Sounds familiar. Healy’s foil is Miguel, the assassin for hire who learned his craft (extremely well!) in the U.S. Marines.
Though O’McCarthy’s novel is set in the near future, with the “3rd Petroleum War” in full swing, the tale is as timely as this week’s headlines from Iraq and Afghanistan and as old as the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
