Morituri

by A.D. Bloom

Since the late 21st century, global government criminalized religion, Father Patrick Doogan has been hiding from the Security Services in the lion's den – pleasure-driven Baccha Bay City, California. When he's kidnapped by the Morituri, first-world Catholic insurgents fighting the Global Secular Alliance, he's forced out of retreat and must choose a side that stains his soul. Morituri is an action-packed, novelette-length, short story thriller filled with guns, bombs, and killer drones from the author of The War of Alien Aggression, also available on Kindle.

Interesting premise but I found the characters dull and uninspiring. Definitely didn’t hook me. all in all a disappointment.

Fantastic companion story to Bring Me the Head of the Buddha. Dystopian society in which religion has been criminalized. A man of the cloth must make a choice that will haunt him as well as surprise the reader.

A.D. Bloom is the author of the new military scifi series, The War of Alien Aggression. http://thewarofalienaggression.wordpr...

Free short story.
The Global Secular Alliance has taken over the world, destroying the Vatican, Jerusalem, and Mecca in the process. Religion is outlawed and consumerism is king.
Of course, there is resistance.

I read this as part of the Kindle All-Stars Presents: Resistance Front anthology. It's a terrific story that makes you think and the rest of the anthology is just as good.
