A Simple Rebellion

REWRITTEN, EXPANDED, EDITED, AND REBOOTED FOR 2022!When the wife of beloved comedy icon Bob Murphy died under suspicious circumstances, he abandoned celebrity and shut himself off from almost everyone, but the world won't leave him in peace. At a time of increasingly divisive national tensions, an offhand comment from Bob to an unscrupulous TV talk show host goes viral, accidentally reigniting an American spirit long thought lost, launching Bob, his family, and his adoring fans into A Simple Rebellion.Early Praise:"A Simple Rebellion is an action-packed, funny, dark, and poignant love letter to America - and a roadmap for how we might all make it through the bleakest of times unscathed. Christopher Ryan expertly integrates social commentary into his narrative with a style reminiscent of Richard Matheson and Rod Serling's best works." — Caseen Gaines, author of We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial The Ultimate Visual History"Through spry, humor-laced dialog, Ryan unfurls an Orwellian landscape pitting the fanatical president of a fractured, dysfunctional America uncomfortably close to our own against an unlikely hero who must ignore his own grief to rally a broken nation. Quick paced and provocative."—Mike Rogers, former Senior Editor, Library Journal"As I read this, I remembered The Road by Cormac McCarthy and Stephen King's The Stand." - MaPerry, California"The world (Ryan) creates is gripping, reminiscent of Norman Spinrad." - R. S. Ross, New York
