so looks like Atlanta Falcons kicker Jason Elam has joined the ranks of Billy Shakespeare and that guy who wrote Ulysses with his first novel Monday Night Jihad, which is a Christian Thriller Novel (not to be confused with a knock off of a Tom Clancy thriller.) i'll gladly read this thing and review it if someone wants to steal me a copy from Barnes & Noble.
here's the Amazon.com description:
He thought his deadliest enemy knelt across the line of scrimmage. He was wrong! After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, Riley Covington is living his dream as a professional linebacker when he comes face to face with a radical terrorist group on his own home turf. Drawn into the nightmare around him, Riley returns to his former life as a member of a special ops team that crosses oceans in an attempt to stop the escalating attacks. But time is running out, and it soon becomes apparent that the terrorists are on the verge of achieving their goal--to strike at the very heart of America. This softcover edition also includes a teaser chapter of the next Riley Covington thriller.
Written by a member of the NFL; gives readers an insider look at the world of professional athletes and military intelligence. Examines the challenges of homeland security in large-venue events. Explores the tension between the desire for revenge and the constraints of the Christian faith, especially as it relates to Islam. Jason Elam has recently returned from Iraq, where he visited and supported the troops. You can read his journal at mondaynightjihad.blogspot.com
honestly i have no words. i already read Boys Will Be Boys this year, i'm not sure if Elam's work is gonna stand up to that.
*apparently this is old news and he's already got a second book coming out. why am i always the last one to hear about these things?
