A.P. Andes Releasing Volume II
of Genre-Bending Series,
The Latecoming West,
in October, 2023
LAKE ZURICH, IL. A.P. Andes’ Uproar and Heresy, the second novel of his quartet of historical-thriller fiction, The Latecoming West, is set to be released on October 10, 2023.
The book will be available on Amazon as a paperback and an eBook, and distributed by IngramSpark to Barnes & Noble and elsewhere as a print on demand paperback and eBook. Successive titles in the groundbreaking series, Falling through the Roof of Hell and The Annihilating Hero, will follow.
BookLife praised Volume I, John the Angelic, saying: “Andes shines in the first volume of this ninth-century historical literary fiction quartet, The Latecoming West, based on the early medieval life of Pope Joan. . . History buffs—particularly those enamored of Pope Joan—will devour this impeccably researched and skillfully written tale.”
Uproar and Heresy continues Joan’s astounding story of ascent through the Church’s ranks disguised as a man, while the peril of her identity looms over every success. But the book also introduces the series’ other key storyline: the journey of Rahel Buchwald and Patek Mroz, two star-crossed Jews who meet in 1930s Berlin as Hitler is coming to power, charting their struggles as the new order draws them nearer apocalypse.
“This series is fueled by the sinister, timeless theme of consensus in human history that has strangled voices of truth to preserve the status quo of those in power,” Andes says. “Warriors of fierce originality and courage have challenged that narrative since the dawn of civilization, from Socrates to Pope Joan to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and beyond.”
