A Song of Death in a Multicultural Dystopia

Samuel Pointe is a high-tech, deadly mercenary living in the class-divided ruins of a dystopian Los Angeles where the rich watch stoically from on-high while the squalid masses rip each other to pieces in gang wars for the simplest of needs. A master of martial arts, his edge over his over-pumped, battle-addled, blood-crazed opponents is his calm, which allows him to read them, and move to a song of death.

While hired by a corporate magnate to become the chief marketing personality for a learning machine manufactured by the Mitsu Corporation, Samuel has business to conduct in the name of vengeance and justice for his murdered family and old compatriot.

The first book in series of four, LOM Book One is a no-holds-barred slaughter fest of martial arts and car duels along the highways and streets of the Los Angeles basin's most popular destinations. This is old-school cyberpunk written by an old school author native to the SoCal area. Bringing to it his intimate knowledge of martial arts, gritty street life, multiculturalism, and LA, Frank Lechuga's debut novel will not disappoint.

This isn't high brow Chicano literature, this is mean street-machine, bullet-riddled Xicano science fiction!
