“Nothing Sacred suffers by comparison with Tom Flynn’s earlier science fiction novel Galactic Rapture. Galactic Rapture was incomparable. Nothing Sacred is merely excellent…the story progresses into a gripping narrative written with all the skill and wide-screen imagination of Frank Herbert’s Dune, and the suspense of Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End.

"Screamingly funny and intellectually exhilarating. . . . lay in a supply of Flynn’s books without delay, much as you might equip yourself with . . . any other of life’s essentials." - James Morrow, author of Only Begotten Daughter and Towing Jehovah, in Free Inquiry
If Harlan Ellison, Tom Clancy, James Morrow, and Friedrich Nietzsche co-wrote a novel, they might produce Nothing Sacred. This sequel to Tom Flynn’s critically acclaimed first novel, Galactic Rapture, takes place in a galaxy-wide future civilization that’s obsessed with religion, yet furious at Terra (Earth) for giving rise to the most popular creeds of all.
Terra may be the planet where humanity originated, but sophisticated Galactics treat it like a dismal stepchild. Few Terrans seek their fortunes among the stars. Those who try face patronizing discrimination. Into this galactic crucible leaps Earth-boy Gram Enoda, alongside an impossibly intelligent electronic sidekick who’s simultaneously his secret weapon and the bane of his existence. Enoda just wants to get rich. Instead he stumbles into the center of a top-secret, half-baked plan to (yes, literally) save the galaxy.
LikeGalactic Rapture, Nothing Sacred brims with complex plotting, searing black humor, colorful characters, and penetrating examination of religious and philosophical issues — all woven into a can’t-put-it-down techno-thriller. Readers intrigued by humanism, atheism, philosophy of mind, libertarianism, Mormon history, or the anthropic principle will find their obsessions reflected — actually, uproariously twisted — in Nothing Sacred.
Tom Flynn (Amherst, NY) is editor of Free Inquiry and the author of Galactic Rapture, The Trouble with Christmas, and numerous articles.
