Award-winning Indie Author A.P. Andes
Releasing Volume III of Series
on September 8, 2026
LAKE ZURICH, IL. A.P. Andes’ Falling Through the Roof of Hell, the third novel of his historical-mystery/thriller fiction tetralogy, The Latecoming West, is set to be released on September 8, 2026. The book, already a prestigious BookLife Editor’s Pick from Publishers Weekly, will be available on Amazon as a paperback and an eBook, and distributed by IngramSpark to Barnes & Noble, Apple, and elsewhere as a print on demand paperback and eBook. The concluding fourth volume, The Annihilating Hero, will follow.
“Richly imagined historical fiction, a stunning third volume,” says BookLife (Editor’s Pick), which also praised Volumes I and II: “Andes shines in the first volume,” and “Gorgeously told story of Pope Joan and, centuries later, Jewish lovers in the Third Reich; enthralling narrative.”
Falling Through the Roof of Hell continues Joan’s astounding story of ascent through the Church’s ranks disguised as a man, drawing ever closer to the Holy See as dark forces conspire to beat her to the prize. Meanwhile, in the Warsaw ghetto, Rahel and Patek struggle to survive appalling conditions and persecution as the Nazis move toward the Final Solution. These two heroines, over a thousand years apart, channel their courage, passion, and capacity for love to confront humanity at its worst.
“This series is fueled by the sinister, timeless theme of consensus through dominion in human history that has strangled voices of truth to preserve the status quo of those in power,” Andes says. “Warriors of fierce originality and mettle have challenged that narrative since the dawn of civilization, from Socrates to Pope Joan to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust and beyond.”
A.P. Andes lives in the Chicagoland area with his wife and daughters. His work has been published in the Iowa Review and other journals.
