“This just may be my favorite true-life amazing-but-true tale—never has threatening an aircraft been funnier or more thought-provoking.”

—Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and Homeland

“The last thing I expected to do that day was threaten an airplane full of passengers,” says science fiction writer William Shunn, who was apprehended by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Calgary on February 23, 1987. “But I believed it was my duty as a missionary. I was nineteen.”

The Accidental Terrorist is the true story of Hugo and Nebula Award finalist Shunn's service as a Mormon missionary, and of the events that led to his arrest and conviction as a teenager on terrorism-related charges. Warmly written, it is at once a funny and sensitive tour through the private lives of Mormon missionaries, a riveting history of their founding prophet Joseph Smith, and an exploration of the pressures that can drive young men of any era to commit desperate acts in the name of faith. Aimed at a general trade audience, it will satisfy any reader who has wondered about the sincere young men in suits and ties who always seem to ring the doorbell just as dinner is being served.

MORE ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL TERRORIST . . .

“I devoured the more than four hundred pages of this memoir in what was essentially one sitting, with time out only for potty breaks, some quick nourishment, and a little unavoidable sleep. Yes, it was that gripping. . . . Shunn very skillfully interweaves his own personal story with the story of Joseph Smith, Jr., the prophet and founder of the LDS church. . . . This memoir is a welcome addition to the library of Mormon autobiography—educational and highly entertaining.”

—Richard Packham, Association for Mormon Letters

 

“The Accidental Terrorist provides vivid glimpses into the American phenomenon of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . . . You will read few other books as smart, funny, honest, and heartbreaking as William Shunn’s The Accidental Terrorist, and I unreservedly recommend it to you as both a home-grown cautionary tale and a highly original coming-of-age saga.”

—Michael Bishop, author of Ancient of Days and editor of A Cross of Centuries

 

. . . AND PRAISE FOR WILLIAM SHUNN

“William Shunn is one of those SF writers who, because they specialize in short fiction, are not given quite the recognition they deserve . . . only the plaudits of the cognoscenti of the short form. Yet Shunn is a fine writer; ingenious, stylish, closely in touch with current global trends and expert in producing thought-provoking near-future SF.”

—Nick Gevers, Locus
