Ballard resident Matt Ruff is the critically acclaimed author of Bad Monkeys and Set this House in Order, among others.
His new book is a thriller that, quite literally, turns the political reality of the post 9-11 world as we know it, upside down. But don't let the geopolitical intrigue fool you into thinking Matt Ruff has some sort of political agenda to push forward. He does not. He is a brilliant novelist and he's come up with another stunner worthy of your attention, whether you're a Christian fundamentalist or part of the Arab Defense Ministry. Or someone in between.
