Local author publishes first e-book

Chester — Author Gary Bloom, of Chester, has released “Olympus Union: The Past Repeated,” his first e-book in a new science fiction series. To celebrate, Bloom hosted an official launch party at Blaggard’s Pub in Manhattan. “Olympus Union” deals with the trials involved with establishing a one-world government. Science fiction often assumes the long tenured existence of such a government, but “Olympus Union” examines how it gets there. The first novel speaks of rebellion, fanaticism and a prison break. The book is on sale now at BN.com and Amazon.com, with iTunes soon to follow. More information can be found at www.facebook.com/OlympusUnionBooks.
