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.â€
“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.â€
. . . 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.â€
