- Synopsis
- In this shocking, amusing, and at times profound first novel, Bill Branon combines the action pyrotechnics of David Morrell, the lower-depths ambiance of Robert Ferrigno, and the layered conspiracies of Kurt Vonnegut. Set in the immediate future, Let Us Prey portrays a tax-weary America plagued by government waste and corruption. For those who have revolution on their minds and the deadly means to accomplish it, there is only one way to bring an out-of-control government to its knees. Targeted for destruction: the IRS—its collection centers, its administrators, its web of ever more intrusive oversight systems. Enter Mitch and Ram, brothers and professional killers—young, dangerous, and awesomely efficient. In their hands may rest the power to steer the course of history—but how to “read the play” when both the government and the citizen forces contending against it vie in ever more ruthless ways? Moving from the sun-drenched Mojave Desert to the high-stakes gaming tables of Las Vegas to the blood-soaked killing grounds of Baja California, and combining feverish eroticism, eerily authentic “kill" scenes, and disturbing moral questions, Let Us Prey is like no other novel you have read. It will chill, delight, and ultimately amaze with its vision of society beginning a headlong descent into anarchy. Bill Branon is a Harvard-educated Navy veteran who is an expert on weaponry, demolitions, and state-of-the-art surveillance. He is also a champion ocean sailor, professional-level golfer, and denizen of las Vegas casinos. Both Branon and his two sons, the inspirations for Let Us Prey's protagonists, are proficient marksmen. Bill Branon lives in Southern California.
