Inverted: Surviving The Upside-down World

Book Blurb: Up is down. Back is forward. Last is first. Weak is strong.

Twenty-five years after surviving the collision of worlds in Charity’s Fire, the next generation has been trained to lead the underground. Then, the eldest runs away to Mars to escape the demands of leadership, and the second in command turns into a selfish rebel- bent on destruction.

Is everything always falling toward chaos?

As millions on earth flee the grip of the tyrannical Global Union, who will lead the outcasts to freedom? Who will rescue the downtrodden? Who will stand in the gap for the persecuted? Where will they run?

Short-sighted human ambitions need to fall to the ground and die before the real plan can emerge from the fertile soil of impossibility.

Are the Rebel and the Runaway really cowards?

Was their preparation another divine distraction?

Or have they suffered enough to be in the perfect position from which the underground can launch an exodus of Biblical proportions?

Inverted.

Strong is weak. First is last. Forward is back. Down is up.

Survive upside-down.

My thoughts: Sometimes you don’t find your “why” until you face a crisis.

In this spiritual thriller, Kars Dee hopes to avoid personal issues by escaping to Mars, where unbeknownst to him, a haven for displaced believers on Earth is being set up. The Domestic Religious Terrorist Act of 2045 has outlawed religious affiliations.

Interconnected conflicts with Earth and in the Heavens interrupt Kars’s mundane life on Mars. But when someone close to him is tortured, he finds the resolve to act courageously. Kars rushes through the unknown to save her, by his wits and prayers. Can he get there in time? At all?

Science fiction fans will relish this intriguing transformation tale teeming with sci-fi schemes and gadgets.

Here’s a short video revealing some of the backstory for Inverted.
