from Simon 6/Simon & Schuster
A billionaire philanthropist determined to bankrupt herself in pursuit of a better world. A couple hungering for power beyond their arms empire. A grieving vigilante on a quest for justice. The characters in Robert Miner's propulsive literary thriller all share America's obsession with firearms, and they are willing to go to extremes to realize their visions of the future.
Thoughts and Prayers interrogates a quintessentially American issue, asking what sort of progress is possible when no side seems willing to compromise. The solution is up for grabs, but in a country home to four hundred million firearms, how else could the story end except with a bullet.
EARLY PRAISE
“Thoughts and Prayers is a bold and deeply courageous book about the wildly upsetting - and irresistible - topic of guns. Miner has somehow taken our national obsession and turned it into one of the most riveting novels I have read in years. Well done.”
Sebastian Junger, bestselling author of In My Time of Dying
“An admirable dramatization of the power, ambition, and exhilaration of American gun culture with a delicious final twist.”
Stephen Markley, bestselling author of The Deluge
