FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Joe Smiga, of Manchester, NH, Achieves
Publishing Milestone with
his Sixth Book in Four Years. “One Came Back” is the third installment in Smiga’s
trilogy that began with his debut novel, “Behind the Lies,” which a state newspaper
reviewed as worthy of Tom Clancy.
MANCHESTER,
N.H. – (April 2013) – Prolific fiction and nonfiction author Joe Smiga accomplishes
a rare publishing feat upon publishing his sixth novel within four years.
Smiga, who debuted in 2009 with Behind the Lies, has penned four more books
since then—Tova, A Cowboy’s Vengeance, Gateway to Terror, and What Keeps You
Going? Not one to rest on his laurels, Smiga now completes the trilogy he began
with his first novel with the release of his sixth book, titled One Came Back.
“When
my first book, Behind the Lies, was published in 2009, I had no idea of writing
a sequel to it. Readers encouraged me to write a sequel, and Gateway to Terror
was published in 2011,” shares Smiga. “Now, One Came Back is the third book in the series. It is still
surprising to me that One Came Back
is now my sixth book. Next year, 2014, I will publish the sequel to A Cowboy’s
Vengeance due to readers’ requests.”
Hamid,
the main character is bent on seeking revenge against the Iranian Imams who
sent him and his partner to the United States to create terrorism. After they
were successful, the imams had another agent attempt to assassinate them. His
partner was killed. While power, greed, revenge, and international intrigue permeate
throughout the story, it also carries a touch of romance as Edina falls in love
with Hamid along the way.
Smiga
has been studying international terrorism for decades. Largely set in the
Middle East, the story encompasses the western hemisphere, and the countries of
Albania and Iran. It has a consistent theme of terrorism and government
manipulation worldwide. The book is a stand-alone, but also the third and final
installment of the series, that all readers—both raving fans and
first-timers—can enjoy and learn from.
Worthy
of Tom Clancy, as one state newspaper’s review regarded Behind the Lies, One Came Back not only completes
Smiga’s trilogy, but also marks his stunning development as a writer. Its depth
of characters through feelings and emotions shaped by various events definitely
stands out. This is a thrilling fiction which heavily involves the CIA, FBI, and
the Mossad in the plot, while carrying a tinge of reality based on Smiga’s own life.
