Book Series: The Harvest at Earth’s End
Book 1, Half Hour of Silence
As of March 2021, I am putting the final touches to my first book of The Harvest at Earth’s End series, Half Hour of Silence. I will soon seek a publisher of go the self-published rout.
Synopsis: A Half Hour of Silence
My debut novel, A Half Hour of Silence, not only crosses genres but crosses the divide between Christian and mass-market fiction. A Half Hour of Silence breaks the mold of Christian fiction. The everyday Christian, as well as secular fans of apocalyptic, end of days thrillers will enjoy the gripping plots, the many compelling characters who are faced with intense conflict and personal danger in this account of the last days.
The Left Behind series demonstrated to the literary world that secular audiences can be entertained by––and will spend big money on––overtly Christian works. Not only did this series top the New York Times Best Seller list, but did it over authors like John Grisham, Stephen King and Tom Clancy.
How does A Half Hour of Silence cross genres? The book takes place in an alternate future where riots, fueled by violent revolutionaries, rage around the world. Wars are being fought on every continent and deep political divisions are tearing our nation apart. Unknown by the average American, these events were planned for a sinister purpose. Malevolent forces are stoking the fires of hate, creating chaos to burn our western civilization down and replace it with another. One ruled by Lucifer, who calls himself the god Heylel. He and a few handpicked men will stop at nothing to rule the world and enslave mankind.
A Half Hour of Silence, with its complex storylines, transcends a single genre. Not only is it an alternate future thriller, but also has elements of a drama, horror, mystery, crime, and science fiction.
Reading A Half Hour of Silence, you will experience the struggles that are waged, both in body and soul in this, the last battle of the war in heaven prior to the harvest at earth's end.
You will be immersed into the anarchy of street riots.
You will witness the bloody battle for the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
You will laugh, cry, get angry, and fall in love.
