SAN BERNARDINO, CA (NOVEMBER 1, 2008) - Author Lynden Rodriguez has written a science-fiction thriller entitled Drumwall (ISBN: 978-1-4357-2408-2). This is Ms. Rodriguez’s first novel about a mining colony on the planet Cumaro, beginning with the arrival of a new parish priest. Father Andrew Zamora discovers that his predecessor may have met a terrible fate, and soon begins to realize that he too is imperiled by the local tribal Chieftain, Lord Banyon. The novel is now online at Lulu.com in digital and paperback formats.
Nicole Givens Kurtz, eBook Reviews Weekly: “Rodriguez writes, “It was as though a light had suddenly been turned off, and he was plunged into darkness. In the midst of it all, what he feared most was that because of his failure to protect the helpless, he had lost his way to God.” A prophet amongst the nonbelievers, (Father) Zamora must hold on to his faith, even if it means his life. Maintaining faith in a faith-less civilization is Zamora's test and Rodriguez pulls it off beautifully. …Drumwall is a well-written tale of the humanity that exists in each person. Rodriguez creatively and smoothly infuses religion, science fiction, and discovery.”
Vincent Malzahn, Catholic Writers’ Association: “The barbaric locals test this priest’s faith and inadvertently push him along the spiritual journey we are all meant for yet few take up with any earnestness! While many (might) shy from this mighty novel, they will be the same who shy from the Cross of Christ! This is what Christian SF is meant to be! I offer my highest recommendation!"
Katherine Lively, Catholic Writers’ Association: “Drumwall is the story of one man's struggle to maintain faith in a resistant society. Set in the future on another world, Drumwall is a story relevant to today, a story to be treasured.”
Kassandra Washington, Timeless Tales Reviewer: “Drumwall is a captivating tale that thrusts an unsuspecting, confident priest into an alien world, where the fabric of his faith is challenged.”
Marylou Roblin, OCDS, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Secular Order, Redlands, C.A.: “Stunning novel…a tour de force – loved it!”
