The Time to Go

by M. Chris Benner

Center City, Philadelphia – There is a plan to commit the largest terrorist attack on American soil. The only man with enough information to stop it has been found dead in his hotel room, both lungs disintegrated. But not before he got a single message out...


Mr. Ridley has a distinct life. His house is divided into three, with his brother and niece on one side and two retired porn stars on the other. He owns a bar, and a buffet, and a school where he teaches martial arts. The days are soft, warm, and he is content... until an old enemy walks into his buffet, takes the seat across from him, and sends his life spiraling with the message, “Speak to Mans el-Ray Pasquale.” From there, his journey will take him around the world in order to solve the mystery and prevent the worst bombing in US history.


With an unrelenting pace and a tongue firmly in cheek, SEVEN DEVILS is a thrilling adventure about one man’s fight to save his city, his family, and himself.

About the author

Matthew Christopher Benner is an author from the east coast somewhere. I'm thinking Maine but that's probably because I'm confusing him with a good writer. Pretty sure he lives near West Chester but google maps showed a hell of a lot of West Chesters so that piece of information proved not-helpful at all. If I had to guess, I'd say... West Chester, Illinois... but I'm basing that on nothing. Not one single thing. In fact, pretty sure Illinois was one of the few states without a West Chester. Anyway, he has children, several of 'em. I think they're both girls that hopefully take after their mothers. And he's got trades, seems to gather them like shot glasses: massage therapist because he's creepy and he touches people; bartender because he's creepy, and without drinks no one would let him touch them; an avionics technician 'cause why the hell not, apparently; and he's a thief, 'cause I know one time he stole the woman of a guy who writes author's bios for a living. These are just things, just listing things about him, just a list--bunch of stuff, all equally important. Really, all you need to know about the kid is that he doesn't succeed. Ever. And I guess he's got a good sense of humor. And he's balding.
