The Exit: Blue Moon Chronicles
A demonic insurgency has given up on waiting for Satan to overthrow God. Instead they make plans to escape to a universe of their own. Their escape technology is cleverly marketed by a charismatic CEO to the worlds' oppressed as a ticket to a perfect life in a distant universe. To counter, an ancient foe recruits a covert group of image bearers and angels to lead an assault against this utopia of evil; one of them is his own daughter, Ru.

About the author
Todd D. Boddy
2 books2 followersTodd comes from a military family who settled down in South Austin TX in the 70's. It was an exciting time, a great place to grow up and stretch the imagination in what was developing as America's 'Third Coast', playing youth sports in S.Austin and skiing with friends on Lake Austin & Travis.
He now resides outside Princeton TX in a semi-rural area close to Lake Lavon with nearby cotton, hay, and okra fields, cattle and horses, which he admires, but admits he'd rather be playing golf. He and his wife Loretta have between them four children, four grandchildren and two dogs.
Todd attended the University of Texas at Austin, BA in Psy, minor Ancient Gk, and then Dallas Theological Seminary, ThM with emphasis on world religions. Never one to be pigeon holed he has enjoyed work as a framer, baseball umpire, landscaper, youth pastor, Sr. Pastor, financial consultant, missions coordinator and dog park minister, and now author.
He delivered his first sermon at age seventeen and has written many short stories, dramas, and newspaper articles. Todd currently pastors a small rural TX church where he splits his time writing.
His new Blue Moon Chronicle series, beginning with The Exit, is the culmination of his interests in exploring questions resulting from the cross roads of science, technology, spirituality, apocalyptic themes, and faith. Volume II in the BMC series, Two Suns Rising, goes on sale March 1st 2014.
The great golf instructor/philosopher, Harvey Pinick quipped "if you play golf, you are my friend." These are analogous words to building bridges with strangers about something you love. Todd hopes his books accomplish this and entertain along the way

July 8, 2017Being the author of course I am biased, the dilemma being the gap between the vision of the series, verses what I put down on paper. I am not new to writing, but I admit in 2012 I was a novice at the production and marketing of a book this length.
I personally like the characters so much I am following up the first two novels with 1st person serials to get to know them better. I originally wrote The Exit in 1st person, then changed it because I wanted the thread of a single narrator, a key figure named Shem who tells the story reflecting back from an eternity that almost wasn't.
The Exit is hard to list as a single pure genre. Having sold the book at scifi, comic, steam punk and fantasy cons, I think it best fits under science fiction adventure. I would add on a new word to describe this Blue Moon Chronicle Series;that is, "faithpunk."
The "faith" part because the series takes the characters: ancient nephlim, hybrids, infected angels, demonic powers, Neanderthals, image bearers/humans-- a mix of different world views and thrust them into an apocalyptic deception across three universes, and confronts them by a divine paradox.
The "Punk" because of the novel approach to weave a new story thread: all the judged demonic powers of the world are going to leave the Earth for a new Universe of their own, thanks to new worm hole technology. Their front "Sanctuary Corporation" raises funds to build 100 Hub Stations globally to transport any person who wants to start their life over. (Little do they know)
