BC Recuperates at the Vatican - and Faces The BOSS...

The adventures of the Vatican Assassin shift in a new direction this week, as BC recuperates in Rome at the Vatican after his assignment on Fortune Station. He's still taking some heat from his superiors over his security lapse back on Lunar Prime during the UIN attack, when double-agent and Lunar Security Corps officer Nita Bendix almost killed him. As BC returns to Lunar Prime, strange blackouts and extended sleep periods make him realize some of the cult's mind altering drugs may have lingering effects on his mind...

Listen to chapters twenty-one and twenty two of Vatican Assassin on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio. BC - Bernard Campion - is an assassin for the pope of the New catholic Church in 2109. Now you know all you need to dive in and enjoy the adventure!
In the news - my new book "Introducing... Red Hot!" comes out on Wednesday (2/1) with great art by Rhys ap Gwyn. And The Adventures of Alibi Jones: Six Short Stories is availbale now free in the iTunes store and atPodiobooks.com!

BC's Mission to Fortune Station Comes to Its End!

Sex, lies, politics, murder, religion... the chapters of my science fiction adventure Vatican Assassin on this episode of Glow-in-the-Dark Radio have it all! BC's mission to Fortune Station has been a spectacular failure. Insteading of assassinating cult leader The Light, the cult took BC prisoner. They've been trying to brainwash him, poisoning his food and dosing him with psychedelic drugs. Last episode BC talked to God... maybe. Now he's talking to cult members about something kind of radical...

Listen to chapters 19 & 20 from my free Vatican Assassin audiobook - and get a little bit of news, too. My new comic book Introducing... Red Hot! #1 comes out February 1st from Earthbound Comics. I was a guest on this week'sGeek Radio Daily (http://geekradiodaily.com). And the new free audiobook The Adventures of Alibi Jones: Six Short Stories is available now from iTunes and Podiobooks.com.

BC Talks to God...

...Maybe.

BC is still a prisoner of the religious cult squatting the abandoned Fortune Station - they're dosing his food with poisons and mind-altering drugs, messing with his mind - hard to say what's real, what isn't - what BC's mind is creating and what he's actually experiencing. That's for you to decide...


It's 2109 and BC kills people - or tries to kill people - for the pope of the New catholic Church. But BC's mission to assassinate the cult's leader "The Light" isn't going so well...
The science fiction adventure Vatican Assassin continues on Glow-in-the-Dark Radio! Get a quick dose of news and a run down of the story so far, and then enjoy Chapter 18 of the novel. The science fiction is written and read by me - Mike Luoma. Our podcast theme music is by Juan Carlos Quattordio. I put The Vatican Assassin theme together myself.
