Lamentations for the Fallen

Detailed book overview

Lamentations for the Fallen

Urchin

How lonely sits the city that was full of people. How like a widow is she,

who was great among the nations. The princess among the provinces has become a slave.

Lamentations 1:1

Caleb Webb is the dictionary definition of disadvantaged, and surviving on his own is nothing new. When the apocalypse hits, his rugged skill set for staying alive on the mean streets of Los Angeles comes in handy. Unfortunately, he's on a collision course with the worst criminal cartel in the city, unless someone intervenes.

After his addict mother dies of a fentanyl overdose, Caleb is forced to strike out on his own. He’s hit with the reality that the lifestyle he’s been living and the one that was modeled for him at home are both dead ends. Being catapulted into homelessness, Caleb determines not to get sucked into the despair and poverty that are ravishing the city of Los Angeles.

Caleb is willing to put aside his delinquent ways and work hard to make a better life for himself. However, no one has ever taught him what it means to be a respectable citizen.

His dogged determination finally lands him a position working as a construction laborer. He dedicates himself to learning the trade and quickly wins the respect of his co-workers. Unfortunately, soaring inflation strikes the US economy with a catastrophic blow. Caleb’s employer is forced to shutter the business as are so many others.

Caleb is unable to find work and risks going back to the streets. When he happens upon an opportunity to continue providing for his basic needs, Caleb slips back into criminal behaviors.

Yet, something or someone won’t let him have any peace as long as he is involved in these illicit activities. He has few options. Z-Bub, the gangland kingpin that Caleb has fallen in with, is comfortable with violence and no stranger to killing those who cross him. If Caleb does the right thing, it could cost him his life. If he doesn’t, it may cost him his soul.

Reckoning

Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Lamentations 5:7

Caleb and Bristol escaped a near-death experience in Los Angeles. But unfortunately, the chaos is not exclusive to California. A cataclysmic economic and societal collapse is metastasizing across the country and has permeated the small, isolated town where Caleb and Bristol seek refuge.

Caleb and Bristol endure a harrowing cross-country road trip fraught with peril, scarcity, and danger to find Caleb’s grandparents. When they arrive, the kinfolk Caleb finds is not at all what he expected. But the global financial system is coming unraveled and they’ll have to make the best of the hand they’ve been dealt.

Caleb learns that Los Angeles isn’t the only place in America where maniacal miscreants have risen to power. The tentacles of the Koontz family are intertwined with local government positions as well as many Cocke County businesses. Likewise, their name seems to pop up at every misfortune around town. Caleb does his best to avoid the Koontzs, but when evasion ceases to be an option, Caleb will have to choose between fight or flight.

Descent

And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation.

Amos 8:10

Thanks to Caleb’s and Bristol’s bravery, Cocke County has been freed from the Koontz family’s greedy grip. However, in a world that is being savaged by an economically induced famine, the local criminal cartel is far from the only threat.

To combat the growing crisis, President Teivel signs the Restore America Act into law. The new legislation grants emergency powers to FEMA enabling them to set up shelter and sustenance centers in all major metro areas. The Restore America Act mandates that all citizens report to the nearest relief center or face involuntary relocation.

Caleb and Bristol ignore the unconstitutional order but while on a scavenging mission to gather medical supplies, they butt heads with a military patrol searching for survivors in Newport. They try to escape but to no avail. Caleb and Bristol are detained and transported to the Knoxville FEMA super complex. Trying to evade the military earns them a trip to Camp 11, Resocialization, which is set up for wayward citizens who need to be taught to appreciate what their magnanimous government is trying to do for them.

Once there, they learn that Camp 11 is far from the most egregious form of FEMA’s compulsory compassion. Caleb and Bristol will have to be on their toes to not get sucked further down the rat hole before they get an opportunity to escape.

American Wasteland

False Flag

It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.

John Philpot Curran

Jennifer Martin struggles to keep her small business afloat in the aftermath of a global pandemic. But when a blast from the past informs her of a plan to take down America, she realizes the pandemic was only the opening act. Death and destruction hang like a dark cloud over the horizon. Jennifer must steel herself for the trouble to come.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

Government intervention during the pandemic has weakened the economy and the social fabric of the nation. Nevertheless, bureaucrats and lawmakers refuse to change course and double down on the failed policies that have crippled the country. Rising prices and labor shortages are pushing Jennifer Martin’s small Atlanta restaurant to the brink of destruction.

A bitter red pill.

After years of being out of touch, Lucas McIntosh shows up at Jennifer’s doorstep. He tells her about his dishonorable discharge from the Army and about the purge designed to cleanse the military of patriots and conservatives.

New laws serve to exacerbate the growing food shortage in America. Paired with crippling inflation, the scarcity triggers food riots across the country.

And a fatal false flag.

Shortly after the riots are brought under control, a cyber-attack brings down the electrical grid sending the country into total chaos. The assault is blamed on a group of malcontents who believe the last US election was rigged. But Lucas believes this narrative is only a ruse intended to further divide the fractured nation.

With so many already in dire straits, the power outage pushes people to the edge. The crisis brings out the worst in humanity, turning average citizens into desperate savages. Jennifer and her small group of friends will have to stick together to survive.

A Pound of Cure

Cull the Masses. Enslave the Survivors. Destroy America.

Jennifer Martin escaped Atlanta by the skin of her teeth. Nevertheless, terror and chaos are not confined by the city limits. The unthinkable deeds she committed to get out of Atlanta have followed her back to the small town of Clayton, Georgia.

The new Federal Emergency Security Agency administrator has assigned Commander Todd Kravitz with enforcing mandates in the northeastern quadrant of Georgia. He knows about Jennifer’s involvement against other FESA agents and government contractors. He has a price on her head and will hunt her down like a rabid animal.

Coming from a relatively comfortable lifestyle, the apocalypse has been a harsh adjustment for Jennifer. She has her faith in Jesus. She has a safe place to lay low in the Appalachian Mountains. She’s surrounded by family and friends. But, she’s up against the most powerful and abusive federal agency in the history of America. Jennifer isn’t the type to be led to the slaughter. If Kravitz wants a fight, Jennifer will bring it.

Courage and determination are admirable qualities. However, they’re no match against the largest security force on the planet. If she has any hope of surviving, it’s going to take a miracle.

The Final Solution

Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

Georgia Guidestones

Jennifer Martin’s country lies in ruins—decimated by a civilization collapse weapon designed to depopulate the planet. Those who have survived live in want and oppression.

Jennifer has suffered much since the beginning of the outbreak. She has lost her fiancé and her best friend. But her sacrifice has not been a complete loss. Thanks to what she started, resistance fighters around the country are taking up arms against the rogue federal government. Decentralized cells of the Free American Front are fighting back against the new Federal Emergency Security Agency.

The resistance is little more than a buzzing fly when compared with the strength and might of an empire. Newly promoted FESA administrator Todd Kravitz is eager to stomp out the rebels. Washington has granted him carte blanche to ensure a quick end to the uprising. Kravitz will replace his velvet glove with an iron fist, and he’ll start with Jennifer Martin.

What began as a local skirmish is metastasizing into a full-blown war. If Jennifer’s band of guerillas are to have any chance of winning, they’ll need to strike a decisive blow against Kravitz and the rest of the tyrants in charge.

Ava's Crucible

Divided We Fall

A Stolen Election. An Unlikely Heroine. The Second American Civil War.

When Ava is snatched from the hands of violent agitators by the ominous man who has been stalking her, she fears her fate may be worse than death.

Ava's had a hard life...and it's about to get a whole lot tougher!

Trouble seems to follow Ava wherever she goes. The onset of the Second American Civil War should be no different. Caught in a vicious protest, she’ll have to do the unthinkable to stay alive.

Life only gets more difficult for Ava when she spots a sinister figure watching her every move. Who is the strange man with the scar on his face and what does he want from Ava?

Embers of Empire

America has fallen! Ava’s band of misfits is all that stands between freedom and absolute tyranny.

Political division in the United States has reached the boiling point and the Second American Civil War is underfoot. Communist agitators have been successful in their efforts to intimidate voters from key states. The worst has happened. A far-left socialist candidate has stolen the reins of power, and his designs against the republic are absolute. With a sympathetic congress, he will sign in sweeping bans on firearms, criminalize free speech, and institute a new government agency to root out dissenters.

Ava’s group pledges to launch an insurgency campaign against the occupying force in Texas, but they’ll have to watch out for those who have been tasked with purging the patriots.

A handful of freedom-loving governors and congressmen take a stand against the tyrannical administration by succeeding from the Union. They represent an America who wishes to live in peace and live free. But that idea flies in the face of everything the dictatorial regime holds dear.

Ava’s team cannot fail in their mission to liberate Texas. If Texas falls, America’s demise is all but certain.

United We Stand

The worst has happened. Texas has fallen. It’s up to Ava to get it back.

Without the support of Lone Star State, the Alliance has no hope against the powerful and corrupt regime which has hijacked the majority of the United States.

Still mourning her loss, Ava has seen more death and destruction than she ever bargained for. She’s finished with fighting, but she may hold the key to America’s survival.

An unexpected visitor implores her to take on one last impossible task. If she turns down the request, it could spell the end of freedom and the Alliance, but if she accepts the challenge, victory is by no means guaranteed.

Ava has endured as much heartache as she can handle, but if America dies, if the Alliance fails, things will only get worse. She has to make a choice, and she must act before the clock runs out.

Beginning of Sorrows

Cabal

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:8

When Agent Joshua Stone is called to a high-level meeting at the Department of Homeland Security, he learns about a new global order which will be transitioning into power. Stone is read in on the plan for a single planetary government and a world-wide cashless-currency, which will step in to fill the void left by the failing monetary system. 

To win wide acceptance by the nations of the world, the old system must first be allowed to fail, bringing about a state of global chaos never before seen by mankind. Once desperation has taken the place of pride and hubris, humanity will beg for the proposed one-world empire led by the charismatic tech guru Lucius Alexander.

The United States will fall without a single shot being fired.

While still considered a sovereign nation under the new global charter, America is required to make some major adjustments in order to fit in. One of the mandatory changes comes in the form of oppressive firearms restrictions. Agent Stone is tasked with infiltrating a group of anti-government nationalists to monitor their activities in the wake of the new gun ban. But what he learns from the group while working undercover causes him to question if he is on the right side of the fight.

The final world empire will demand absolute loyalty.

Stone will have to make an impossible choice. If he chooses to ignore the information gleaned during his time undercover, he will violate his deepest personal convictions. However, if he turns his back on the Global Union, he’ll put not only his own life on the line, but also those of his wife and son.

World Order

And there went out another horse that was red, and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another, and there was given unto him a great sword. Revelation 6:4

The Second Seal is opened and an impending terrorist attack threatens to kill off a large swath of the global population. Josh and Emilio have captured one of the terrorists. Through an unsanctioned interrogation, they learn that a weaponized virus is about to be unleashed on four major cities in America. Using back channels, they pass along the information to the Special Agent in Charge of the Tampa DHS field office. However, the SAC winds up dead, leaving Josh and Emilio to neutralize the threat on their own.

In the face of a weaponized pandemic, you have to stock up, hunker down, and pray like your life depends on it.

Meanwhile, back at the compound, Stephanie, Micah, and the others prepare to shelter in place in case the worst happens. They must add to their provisions in the face of skyrocketing inflation. They’ll have to harden the perimeter and get ready for what will be the most terrible time the planet has ever endured.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Lucius Alexander knows better than to let a good crisis go to waste. He’ll utilize the panic over the impending plague to expand his authority over the globe. And while no vaccine officially exists for the virus, no one in the Global Union government nor the state-run media seem to be getting sick.

Upheaval

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.—Revelation 6:8

A plan to take down the New World Order.

When Solomon calls in a favor, Josh is obligated to hold up his end of the bargain. He quickly regrets binding himself and the group to the open-ended agreement after hearing what Solomon has in mind. The mission is not only dangerous and foolish, but Josh considers it to be down-right impossible.

All that glitters is not gold.

Lucius Alexander’s OASIS cities are living up to their names by providing security, healthcare, food, shelter, and even recreation. But admission to these modern utopias come at a cost. Residents must accept the Ministry of Religion’s new global standard for worship. For most Christians in the US, it isn’t a problem. However, some faithful followers refuse to adhere.

Lucius Alexander is revealed as a man bent on conquest.

A new strain of Red Virus is threatening the globe. Citizens are required to keep their digital certificates up-to-date by taking the latest version of the vaccine. Those who refuse are denied access to food and banned from entering OASIS cities. To make matters worse, the person who the world is calling the Prince of Peace is instigating a war with the new Eastern Trade Organization. China and Russia are calling the shots for the ETO and the conflict is about to go nuclear!

Black Swan

Dysphoria

America’s financial doomsday. A wayward son. The epic struggle to survive.

Country music icon Shane Black is this year’s headliner for the New Year’s Eve bash in Times Square, but when violent riots break out, he’ll need more than a six string to escape New York City.

After decades of abuse as the world’s reserve currency, the US Dollar’s day of reckoning is at hand. Without a functioning monetary system to purchase basic goods, society rapidly descends into abject chaos. Protests, looting, and bloodletting take the place of civility in a country which becomes thoroughly unhinged.

Thrust into an apocalyptic gauntlet of terror, Shane must resort to savage brutality to get out of Manhattan alive.

Could the impending currency collapse be the broken road that leads him home?

Shane left everyone and everything he knew to chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He found fortune and fame but can’t forgive himself for abandoning his hometown sweetheart, Julianna. She moved on years ago, but when Julianna shares a secret with Shane, it changes his life forever.

The coming economic meltdown will bring America to her knees.

The impending pension crisis proves to be the catalyst which pushes the US economy to the brink. With no other tools at their disposal, the Federal Government is forced to print an unprecedented amount of new currency. Faith in the dollar erodes and the dominos start falling.

Carrion

When the rule of law fails, dishonest politicians get even dirtier. Shane and Julianna can’t compete with the debased dictators of Jackson County unless they are willing to bend a few rules of their own.

Shane Black escaped the city by the skin of his teeth. But his well-stocked mountain retreat is now the target of a local despot who gained power through bribes, payoffs, and shady politics. Mayor Hayes had few scruples before the collapse. Now that he’s the only law around, he’s down-right ornery.

Road trips are always a bad idea in the apocalypse. But sometimes, it’s the only option.

Shane’s group spent a massive amount of resources battling it out with the corrupt local government. Without fuel to keep security patrols running, everything they fought for will be lost. Shane must head up a caravan in search of the vital commodity to keep the town alive. The trip promises peril at every turn, but if they don’t go, everyone is dead anyway.

The new world is fertile ground for old feelings.

Julianna and Shane are forced to work together closely. Will her heart soften toward him or will she hang on to her grudge? Being so near to her, yet feeling pushed so far away proves to be a thorn of constant sorrow for Shane. Despite his heartache, he mustn’t allow it to distract him from the mission at hand.

Gehenna

The same flames that consume the chaff will purify the silver.

Unlike many of the people in their compound, Shane, Julianna, and Cole are still alive. However, their trial by fire is far from over.

The replacement currency has failed and America is crumbling from within. Roving gangs scour the country, preying on small towns which are too weak and unprepared to fend off their carnivorous attacks.

When one such band of ruffians shows up in Sylva, NC, Shane and Julianna will have to strike a decisive blow before they are subjugated into slavery.

A spark has found a bed of tinder. The inferno of chaos may never stop burning.

If they are successful in their campaign against the lawless criminal biker gang, the next challenge will be taking on the IMF’s special commission, which is tasked with selling off all of the country’s assets in what amounts to a national bankruptcy. Profiteers swoop in like vultures ready to harvest the still-beating heart of America. With carte-blanche privileges, the pillagers make their own laws, take what they want, and force US citizens to carry out the abominable work of draining America dry of all her resources.

Will this blaze of destruction thaw Julianna’s frigid heart?

No matter how hard he tries to push it out of his mind, Shane can’t stop wondering what it would be like to hold Julianna in his arms. She has warmed somewhat, but still keeps him at arms’ length. Yet, the more he allows himself to dream about the family which could be, the more distracted he becomes from the mission at hand. If he fails to keep Julianna, Cole, and himself alive, nothing else will matter anyway.

Days of Elijah

Apocalypse

After a massive wave of disappearances, twenty-six-year-old CIA analyst, Everett Carroll, finally believes what he’s been told about the biblical prophecy of the rapture. But will he be able to survive the gauntlet of destruction known as the Great Tribulation? Seven seals, seven trumpets and seven vials of God's wrath are about to be poured out upon the earth, and woe to the inhabitants thereof!

Global currencies have collapsed, famine and plague have claimed the lives of millions, and the world has crumbled into chaos. The only reason Everett and his girlfriend, Courtney, have survived the mayhem is because they were warned by John Jones, Everett’s recently deceased boss, that all of these tragedies would occur. 

And what’s more, through his inside knowledge at the agency, mixed with his interpretation of prophecy, Jones predicted that a world leader would ride in on a white horse to fix the ills of the planet. But who is this leader and what is his motivation for mandating the new identification implant and the global cashless currency?

Everett is surprised when he finds out that Elijah, the Messianic Jewish hermit who lives on the mountain above their retreat, did not disappear along with the rest of the Christians. When he tells Everett of a special mission that God has given him, the old prophet gives Everett more questions than answers.

Wormwood

Everett and Courtney Carroll have survived the Seven Seal Judgments which devastated the planet through a global earthquake and a massive bombardment of meteors. The cities of the earth lie in ruin, and much of the globe’s forests have been destroyed by widespread forest fires.

But have their efforts to stay alive been in vain? The next series of judgements to fall upon the earth are known as the Seven Trumpets. Within this series of cataclysms is the earth’s collision with a giant asteroid, known as Wormwood. The comet will poison much of the planet’s fresh water supplies, making survival near impossible.

Undeterred by the global chaos, the supreme leader of the Global Republic, Angelo Luz, pushes forward with his plans to eradicate his empire of dissenters. In the midst of the mayhem, he sends forth his armies to wipe out the remnant of true Christians as well as the growing number of Messianic Jews.

With each subsequent Trumpet Judgement and every passing day, Everett and Courtney’s odds of living grow slimmer. If they are to survive, they’ll need perseverance, faith, and a great outpouring of providence from The Almighty.

Angel of the Abyss

Everett and Courtney Carroll have endured to the midpoint of the Great Tribulation. The previous Seal and Trumpet Judgments have left the planet in shambles. The western hemisphere is nearly uninhabitable. The prophet Elijah gives Everett a special mission, which will give him a unique role in fulfilling end-times prophecy, but he’ll have to survive the coming cataclysms first. Angelo Luz breaks the treaty he made with the nations, declaring himself to be God. A plague of stinging locusts rises up from the smoke of the bottomless pit. 

And a 200-million-man army of radical jihadists wages a holy war against humanity itself! Everett and Courtney’s trials and tribulations thus far have been a walk in the park compared to what’s coming. Don’t miss this edge-of-your-seat epic thrill ride that promises to make your heart race and your hair stand on end!

The Seventh Vial

The ultimate battle which will decide the fate of Heaven and Earth has come. Everett and Courtney Carroll have fared better than most through the past seven years of the Great Tribulation, but the eve of Armageddon refuses to let them live out the last hours of this present age without conflict, trouble, and persistent peril.

The Bible has prophesied of the Seven Vials of God’s Wrath, the final judgments which will utterly destroy what’s left of a decimated planet. These calamities will bring a plague of festering boils upon the followers of the Antichrist, rivers and seas will turn to blood, and a global earthquake will raze the cities of the earth to the ground. All of this in the midst of the war to end all wars.

Everett and Courtney must leave their sanctuary of relative safety, but there is nowhere left to turn. And getting anywhere in these last days means traversing wastelands patrolled by Global Republic drones or crossing hostile deserts infested by the violent jihadi armies of Caliph Marwan Bakr. It won’t be the first time they’ve been trapped between a rock and a hard place, but it might be the last!

Perdition

The end times fall on America like a shadow of darkness and the last days bring an onslaught of sword, famine and plague. Biblical prophecies are fulfilled when a world leader arises to pull the nations back from the brink of disaster and usher in a new age of peace, but at what cost? 

In the aftermath of the collapse, America is left to flounder while the rest of the world is rebuilt under the rule of the Global Republic. Noah Parker and his family refuse to take the pledge to the world order and are thereby excluded from the one-world economy which functions using a cashless electronic currency. 

When the Global Republic finally arrives to begin rebuilding the former United States, Noah and the true Christian community are labeled as terrorist, hunted down like animals and forced to choose between fight or flight.

The blood of patriots and tyrants is destined to be spilled in a struggle over the remains of The United States. America has entered into a full scale financial meltdown. Matt and Karen Bair race to get prepared to navigate a complete currency collapse and the social disruptions that come with it. 

Having relocated to a rural area in Kentucky, the Bairs fare much better than the unfortunate masses still trapped in the cities. In an effort to cling to power, President Anthony Howe announces the confiscation of provisions and guns. Several states, led by liberty-loving Senator Paul Randall, stand up to assert their sovereignty. 

Knowing the intentions of the Federal Government, Matt, Adam and Wesley Bair train with the local militia who have determined to draw a line in the sand and defend the last remnants of liberty. The political conflict escalates into military aggression and the gloves come off.

American Reset

After a complete failure of the global economic system, Matt and Karen Bair, a struggling middle-class couple, are forced to walk away from their South Florida home and everyone they know. The US dollar has become worthless leaving the country without a functioning currency. 

Grocery stores are unable to resupply, government services such as police, fire, and EMS grind to a standstill, and the criminal element goes unchecked. The crumbling US government, which created the upheaval, imposes a totalitarian solution upon the survivors of the mayhem. 

The fading empire clutches the remnants of power in its dying hand, and the ultimate contest between liberty and tyranny reaches the apex. The lines of revolution are drawn and a vicious civil war ensues. The Bair family and their neighbors learn the true value of community as they rely on each other to survive the war and the ongoing effects of the financial meltdown. 

Will the collapse bring an oppressive regime that enslaves the American people, or will the patriots prevail and guide the country back to a place of freedom, peace and prosperity?

Kingdom of Darkness

Tribulation

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:15-17

Accused of domestic terrorism, Emilio Vega was on his way to a Department of Global Security death camp when the mega-quake hit. The streets beneath his transport vehicle buckled, tossing the van in the air like a toy. He survived the crash, but the world is now in ruins. However, for a condemned man, this disaster may be just the lucky break he needed.

Emilio has been left behind!

Six detainees were in the van prior to the quake. However, only Emilio and one other prisoner were still around when he regained consciousness. Emilio searched the surrounding area, but to no avail. The missing prisoners believed in an event called the rapture, when Jesus would collect His saints before raining down unbearable wrath on the planet’s remaining inhabitants.

Can Emilio and Mackenzie survive the gauntlet of destruction known as the Great Tribulation?

Mackenzie Thompson, the other prisoner still present, is convinced that it was the rapture and that they’ve been left behind. She also believes a time of unparalleled torment is about to be poured out upon the earth. Emilio and Mackenzie have a place to go, but it is hundreds of miles away. The roads are unusable, and the two of them are fugitives on the run. If this truly is the Great Tribulation, it’s off to a bad start.

Brimstone

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Revelation 8:13

Jesus warned that the Great Tribulation would be a time of unmatched tumult and human suffering. As Emilio and Mackenzie are finding out, the Messiah’s words were no hyperbole. They’ve survived the Seven Seal Judgements and the First Trumpet. But the coming wave of destruction foretold by the prophecies will bring about chaos they never could have imagined.

Upon arriving back at the resistance compound in Kentucky, Emilio and Mackenzie discover a deep schism among the members. Multiple people are attempting to fill the power vacuum left by Hinkle’s death. If the group can’t work out their differences, they’ll never be able to stand against the Global Order.

The Third Trumpet sounds and a comet strikes the earth which releases heavy toxins into the environment. Chemicals from the asteroid leach into the ground and poison the water supply. The group rushes to find a solution, but some of the members give up and head for the nearest OASIS city in Atlanta. Emperor Lucius Alexander promises distilled water and sustenance in exchange for the souls of those who will bow only to him.

As if Emilio and Mackenzie didn’t have enough trouble already, they’re spotted by Global Order peacekeepers while on a mission to salvage materials for a lager water distillation system. If they manage to survive the firefight, more tribulation and turmoil await. They’ll need to be strong in body, mind, and spirit if they have any hope at all of surviving the coming catastrophe.

Megiddo

And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”

Revelation 16:1

Emilio Vega has managed to stay alive for the first six years of the Great Tribulation but things are about to heat up with the coming of the Bowl Judgments.

Tensions are high among the members of Emilio’s underground compound. The constant pressure to find food in what has become an utter wasteland only adds to the animosity.

Faced with starvation, other survivors around the Mammoth Cave area have resorted to cannibalism. These flesh-eaters represent an existential threat to Emilio’s group. While on a routine patrol, Emilio runs into one such tribe known only as the forest people. It is uncertain whether or not he will survive the encounter. Even if he does, the world is becoming less hospitable by the day.

Emperor Lucius Alexander issues a temporary amnesty for those holdouts who still have not received the mark. He promises to provide food and shelter to all the refugees still living in the deserted badlands once known as America. However, some believe this may be just another one of his schemes.

Emilio has a strange dream. He feels impressed by the Holy Spirt to go to Jerusalem. But Israel is an ocean away and Emilio is still a fugitive from justice in the eyes of the Global Order.
