THE END: The Complete Dystopian Christian End-Times Saga
It's The Complete Dystopian Christian End-Times Saga, "THE END"!
===
The year is 2113. A virus has annihilated fifty percent of mankind. In the aftermath, a charismatic figure rises to the fore.
He's young. He's rich. He's handsome. He's resourceful.
He is Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow. And America, in her desperation, elects him president.
But Goodfellow soon rebrands himself as Nero, and reveals his true intentions. Under the guise of a census, he has Christians secretly branded by laser scan, allowing him to begin the systematic eradication of both the religion and its faithful. Using his government-contracted army of mechanoids known as 'Guardians,' and his high-tech warships the 'AirGuard,' he hunts down believers, forcing them to eke out an existence in the shadows.
18-year-old Sage Maddox wants to do God's will and assassinate Emperor Nero. Nero's highest vassal, Maximillian, just wants to serve his lord. And all the while, Colonel Thomas Drexler is hellbent on dethroning him.
Prepare for a collision course as all three lives intersect! There will be redemption and defection galore. There will be victories and losses. When a man with power believes he's God, mankind doesn't have a prayer. Defiance can be deadly; almost as deadly as obedience. Sometimes, prayer only goes so far...rising again requires Something Greater.
===

Another great series by Aaron Ryan
This trilogy explores perception and redemption through the eyes of Sage, Thomas, and Darius as they work to stop the sinister Emperor Nero. Nero uses perception as a tool to push his agenda, but he underestimates the power of discernment. The curtain has been lifted and now it’s only a matter of time.
I loved how the stories of the characters interacted and I couldn’t stop reading. This was an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end. I consider this a must read.

The story is trifold and is SO compelling ALL the way through. I really empathized with Sage's journey, and I LOVED watching Maximillian go to Darius and Colonel Drexler's yearning for his son. SO relatable and SO enjoyable to read through and enjoy. It's written in an easy format much like Ryan's "Dissonance" series, you won't get lost and wonder what the heck is going on, it's compelling, and I really enjoyed it. Would read it again all the way through for sure.

We did it to ourselves this time around. Great characters reaching across nations . This is about people who are Christians and those not. The evil surely is and causes a visceral reaction. you cant help but be drawn into the lives of these characters and hoping thing will be okay. Fairly fast paced , I took breaks after some scenes with bad guys.

Read all of 'em. A seriously killer story with loads of heart and a ton of redemption. They should make a movie out of this.
