Rate this book
In America's Last Days, only the steadfast will survive . . .

In STEADFAST BOOK FIVE of The Steadfast Seriesa 28,500-word post-apocalyptic novella by D.I. TELBAT, we find that seven years have passed since the Meridia Virus wiped out millions of Americans. Rogue armies have risen and fallen, and local citizens have turned against their neighbors for self-preservation. But a small refuge in Wyoming still exists—a community called River Camp, established by Eric Radner.

The Liberation Organization is rumored to have collapsed over the winter, but other terrors arise in its wake of horror: victims in chains, being marched eastward by merciless slavers. An old enemy is amongst the captives, and Eric's heart is hardened. In a moment of weakness, Eric Radner looks away, and the slavers pass on unchallenged. Although the slaves are in desperate need of help, Eric remains silent. As a man of God, Eric's inner struggle begins at the moment he ignores the needs of these innocent people.

This novella series follows a Christian survivalist through the heartache and heroism of living in America's collapse, following a pandemic scenario. Christian persecution abounds and fear cripples, but one man rises above the uncertain past and looks to a certain future in the hands of a Mighty God.

Read this fifth installment of The Steadfast Series and discover if Eric Radner recovers his steadfast faith to confront new dangers across the untamed Midwest. Ride with him across the plains through lawless ghost towns, and stand beside him as he fights for his life against packs of feral dogs.

In the Plains Zone, death is more common than life. Eric Radner will need a miracle to survive . . .

I've been writing novels and short stories since I was a young teen. God has greatly impacted me, and I now desire to honor the Lord with my life and writing.

My stories can be read in several online and print publications, as well as three anthologies. My bestselling COIL Series include novels Dark Liaison, Book One; Dark Hearted, Book Two; Dark Rule, Book Three; and Dark Vessel, Book Four, and are available at most e-retailers, as are Jaguar Dusk, a Christian Special Forces novel, Sea Scribe, a Covert Christian Mission Suspense, and End Times Novel, God's Colonel. See my website for other novels and stories added often, including Dark Cover, COIL Book Five, to be out late 2014.

I offer free weekly Christian short stories, or serialized novels, my Author Reflections, and occasional challenges to the Christian Church on my Telbat's Tablet blog at http://ditelbat.com.

When I'm not writing, I'm very involved in Christian ministry. I've kept my home office in the NW U.S. where my assistant, Dee, lives and helps with my editing and writing needs.

My motto: There is no redemption without sacrifice.

Another awesome read, The End: The Book, Series Book 7!!!

That was a fast read. I wish I had the faith and courage to help the many people who don’t know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Protector. All of the Prophesies that have been written in the Bible a.k.a The Word of God have already been fulfilled! There’s nothing else we need to wait for! Jesus can return for His people at any time! Be watchful! The signs and times are here! Those that know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, be ready, our redemption draws near! We will be Raptured in the twinkling of an eye! Amen and amen!

Greater Adventure, Greater Faith

Finally Eric falls! He's been too perfect for too long, but in book five his human nature takes over and he ignores God's will.

Then he and Alan have to clean up the mess he's made and it's one battle after another.

Each book is more satisfying than the book before it. I can't wait to read the sixth and final book in this series.

I've started to tell my friends about Steadfast. That's right, I'm no longer recommending this series just in reviews, but by word of mouth too.

Continuing the saga

Eric Radnor continues his mission to share the gospel and save the persecuted. Exciting and uplifting with new characters coming in and God’s blessings flow in abundance. Looking forward to the next book and dreading the conclusion because I’ve become so involved with the characters! Don’t miss this series!

Unconditional Love

Unconditional love is difficult to give when someone has hurt you or your family, even unto death. Lots of choices are made again in book #5. Will Eric be able to do that and continue to be the leader everyone thought he was?
