Local author
to publish 9th book
Staff writer
The ever-productive Thane Schwartz of Marion will publish his ninth book in the next few days.
Titled “Project 2050: The Sixth Trump and The Last Pope,” the novel is 215 pages long. Schwartz described it as a religious science-fiction book that blends American politics, the recent death of Pope Francis, and the Book of Revelation.
“The Sixth Trump” is a play on the “sixth angel,” who appears in Revelation 9:13 and wields a trumpet.
Schwartz’s previous book, “Marion, the Media, and the Morons: Project 2025 Assault on Democracy,” drew inspiration from the 2023 raid on the Marion County Record. That book was released in February.
Schwartz’s work is available on amazon.com.
