Armageddon, Texas — Tommy Zurhellen

Renowned storyteller Tommy Zurhellen breaks new ground as he weaves two ancient tales: the biblical account of Genesis and the medieval pagan poem, Beowulf, into a ''cataclysmic world filled with Sam Cooke lyrics, The Wizard of Oz, fire-breathing dragons, George Strait's exes, and bourbon in a sippy cup.''

Armageddon, Texas, the third volume in The Messiah Trilogy, is a post-apocalyptic comical creation so infectious it will tickle your funny bone and make you second-guess your command of the English language!

Delve into an inspired romp through the pages of mythology, scripture, and classic literature, and experience a finale that upends the whole idea of reading books in sequence.

See why Zurhellen has been dubbed ''the crown prince of zany and the prime minister of zip.''

And see why Publishers Weekly lauded Books 1 and 2:

Nazareth, North Dakota: ''masterful dialogue''

Apostle Islands: ''both universally timeless and contemporary . . . If Jesus needs new PR, this is one imaginative possibility.''
