Perseverance: Book Two of the Fundamentalists

by Geoff Livingston

An Inevitable War

Jason and his fellow villagers are happy to have escaped from the grasp of Christian Emperor Pravus to the seeming security of Fort Collins. Unfortunately, the Empires reach is long. When the villagers make the unsettling realization that Pravus has tracked them down and is bent on destruction, their preparations for the approaching winter are suddenly thrown into disarray.

As the villagers wrestle with the impact an inescapable war will have on their already uprooted lives, they must decide if they will embrace the forbidden weapons of the past to survive. To make matters worse, the local inhabitants are reluctant to share their home with them. Mordecai must empower the villagers to defend themselves against the religious state he helped create. Jasons pregnant wife, Helen, who is unwilling to face a future under Pravuss rule, insists on taking up arms. Edward converts to Christianity in spite of the Empire. Elder Marcus foresees their leaders death, but still chooses to guide the villagers in their battle to persevere.

Perseverance continues the fascinating tale of Jason and the villagers as they attempt to survive an enemy determined to unleash evil across the land.
