About the Book

SOMETIMES FATE WON'T LET YOU IGNORE YOUR WORLD. When the wife of beloved comedy icon Bob Murphy died under suspicious circumstances, he abandoned celebrity and shut himself off from almost everyone, but the world won't leave him in peace. At a time of national tension, an offhand comment from Bob to an unscrupulous TV talk show host goes viral, accidentally reigniting an American spirit long thought lost, launching Bob and his adoring fans into the middle of A Simple Rebellion. "A Simple Rebellion is an action-packed, funny, dark, and poignant love letter to America - and a roadmap for how we might all make it through the bleakest of times unscathed. Christopher Ryan expertly integrates social commentary into his narrative with a style reminiscent of Richard Matheson and Rod Serling's best works." - Caseen Gaines, author of We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy and The Dark Crystal: The Ultimate Visual History "Through spry, humor-laced dialog, Ryan unfurls an Orwellian landscape pitting the fanatical president of a fractured, dysfunctional America uncomfortably close to our own against an unlikely hero who must ignore his own grief to rally a broken nation. Quick paced and provocative." -Mike Rogers, former Senior Editor, Library Journal Christopher Ryan earned his MA and Rutgers University's English Award for Highest Distinction in Literary Studies for his "master's thesis" - a first novel, City of Woe, which he published independently through his Seamus and Nunzio Productions company. The debut novel earned theBookcast.com's first-ever "Book of Exceptional quality" and "Best New Voice (fiction)" honors from the Independent Book Publishers Association. City of Woe features detectives Mallory and Gunner, who have also been featured in its sequel City of Pain, and a prequel collection of short stories, City of Sin. He is currently planning City of Love, which will complete his modern urban re-interpreting of Dante's The Divine Comedy. He has also written a YA novel, Genius High, and is working on its follow-up, Perfect. Additionally, he is producing a line of illustrated children's detective books, The Ferguson Files.
