The Godless One (The 56th Man Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 14 ratings

Ari Ciminon (The 56th Man), former member of Saddam Hussein's Special Security Force, has dealt with crooked cops, drug rings and maniacal assassins. Now he is tucked away in a safe house in Richmond, Virginia, continuing his task of identifying Iraqi insurgents for American military intelligence. Protected by the U.S. Marshals Service, he still manages to get into hot water when he innocently volunteers to translate for an Arab prisoner accused of being a car thief. This leads him to a gruesome murder, an encounter with a deadly assassin and a meeting with the most reviled and despicable member of the Saddam Hussein regime. Only his wits and an old comrade keep him alive as he takes history into his own hands.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am the author of more than ten novels. I was born and raised in Virginia, where I currently reside. I was First-Place Winner of the Hollins Literary Festival a number of years ago. Among the judges were Thomas (Little Big Man) Berger and R.M.W. Dillard, poet and husband of the writer Annie Dillard. Along with my wife, I have rescued and maintained 22 stray cats, which should tell you something about me (good and bad). Permanently addicted to writing, I am currently at work on "Backside", the sixth in the series of Ari Ciminon (The 56th Man) novels.

    finished The Godless One (An Ari Ciminon Novel) by J. Clayton Rogers & gave it 5 stars

    This is the second, & I hope not the last, novel w/ Ari. First being "The 56th Man", which was excellent. I hadn't any idea a second novel would be written, there aren't any cliffhangers. This book is action filled, with great dialog, laugh out loud parts, real characters, touching, and will stay with you. The ending is perfect. Just perfect, and I was deeply moved, shed a tear or two.
    How often does that happen?
    I hope J. Clayton Rogers is given recognition for his work. This ought to be on the Best Seller list. Wonderful Author. Well done.

    This had better be one more in a long series of Ari Ciminon books. Likely I will have to wait because a book like this cannot be written quickly I'm sure. There is a beautiful complexity in the unfolding of the story as well as the characters. Perfection in the details that bring the characters to life will keep me coming back to this author. I'm actually shocked to be so entertained, no, enchanted, by a book with such raw emotion. Come back Ari! I'll be waiting for you.

    I read the first book and was so intrigued by Ari I bought the second..It is eye opening g to see ourselves through another person's eyes..As for Ari I like him and then I don't like him and t when I change my mind again..the plots are a little convoluted but getting in Ari's head is worth it..Going to buy book 3.

    The author has given us a most unusual protagonist in Ari. He adds a bit of excitement and amusement in the books that causes chuckles while enjoying the interactions with America and the political system here. You should enjoy both books equally. They are great, I hope there is a third book.
