J.B. Simmons is the bestselling author of twelve books that bring hope to dystopia. Readers can't put them down.

The Five Towers series takes you to a world you'll never forget. Cipher wakes up in a mysterious tower with no memories of his former life. He must learn who he was before he can figure out why he's here...and how to get out.

The Unbound trilogy tells the story of a teen from Manhattan with nightmares of a dragon and the world ending in 2066. It has been acclaimed as "The Da Vinci Code meets Hunger Games meets Left Behind... An imagining epic." (Hugh Hewitt)

“What have you learned of the Colorless One’s tactics?” “He twists the past,” I say. “He shows us things that never really happened. He uses our fears and regrets”
J.B. Simmons, The Black Tower

“takes a man of immense strength and faith to hold true to his beliefs while walking the line of worldly acceptance.”
J.B. Simmons, Great White Throne

J.B. Simmons, The Black Tower

“The laws of relativity are clear on this point. If you could move at the speed of light, you would see all of space shrink to a single point, and all of time collapse to an instant. In the reference frame of light, there is no space and time.”
Bernard Haisch, The God Theory: Universes, Zero-Point Fields, and What's Behind It All

“it is natural to equate the light of Genesis with the electromagnetic radiation accompanying the primordial fireball of the Big Bang”
Bernard Haisch, The God Theory: Universes, Zero-Point Fields, and What's Behind It All
