The mission behind enemy lines is over, but Clara’s heart-pumping adventure continues in book two of the Avant Nation series. 

Back at home in Avantica, Clara and Hawk are lauded as the heroes who ended the war. Their victory has proven once-and-for-all that traditionally conceived people are on the path to extinction, while their genetically engineered superiors are destined to rule the world. However, Clara has come to know the downside of biotechnology and wonders if she did the right thing. Tired of her newfound fame, and the way the government is monitoring her every move, she hatches a plan to join her sister, Simone, on the secret island refuge. However, the information she stole from Crick’s lab has resurfaced, threatening to pull her into a dangerous conspiracy to overthrow the government. Will Clara stick around or make the dash toward freedom? Book two of a planned four.

AN UPDATE on BOOK #3: 10/9/2020 

The rough draft of Fear the Machine (Avant Nation, Book #3) is complete and I'm deep in editing mode. Also, I've written over half of book #4, which will conclude the series. Due to work obligations, this is taking me a lot longer than anticipated and I'm sorry about that. I'd much rather be writing than working at my real job, but the latter is what pays the bills. Thank you for your patience.

Eighteen month ago, the earth survived a comet strike. Famine, economic depression, and soaring crime rates rode in on its tail. While the government scrambles for solutions, Gina Applegate vlogs about college life and current events. God doesn’t figure large in her life. Nonetheless, Gina thinks she’s a pretty good person—until the Illumination of Conscience gives her a glimpse of hell, shaking her fragile faith. As the world slips deeper into darkness, the gulf between the godly and the godless widens, leaving no middle ground. Gina must choose a side. Recommended for ages 16 and up. 

[After the] great Comet, the great nation will be devastated by earthquakes, storms, and great waves of water, causing much want and plagues. The ocean will also flood many other countries, so that all coastal cities will live in fear, with many destroyed...For in none of those cities does a person live according to the Laws of God. A powerful wind will rise in the North, carrying heavy fog and the densest dust, and it will fill their throats and eyes so that they will cease their butchery and be stricken with a great fear. —Saint Hildegard (12th Century)

Glory's life is out of control. A foreclosure notice hangs on the front door, classmates make fun of her hand-me-down clothes, her siblings are in trouble with the law and Dad seems to have given up on the entire family. The future looks bleak, but Glory has a plan. She'll strike it rich in Queen's Mesa, saving the house and her reputation. Just as the prize appears within reach, otherworldly beings arrive to foil her plans. A battle of wits versus magic begins, unraveling the order of the universe, and only the girl who started the trouble can return things back to normal. Considering her miserable life back home, surely there's a better option than normal, but can she find it before time runs out?

Add'l Info: The heroine lives on a world similar to present-day Earth with some notable differences. Her planet is two or three thousand years older than ours and Christ hasn't been born, yet. None of the characters have heard of the bible or Jesus. However, the story-beneath-the-story foreshadows His coming. Since the adventure is filtered through Glory's limited perspective, there are no direct references to Christianity in the book. All is hidden beneath the surface. It is left to the readers to find the symbols and themes that resonate with them. 

Recipient of the Readers' Favorite 5-Star Medallion.

Reviewers Weigh-In:

"Red was a jerk, but he grew on me. Just like a flawed hero should." --Ashley Murphy, Between the Pages

"I love the fact that a major character is a total bitch--as in female dog." --Donna from Indy

"Not a fan of aliens, but I like post-apocalyptic, so I took a chance. Glad I did. The survivors had dealt with so much loss, but never gave up. The way they learned to rely on each other was inspiring." --7th Heaven Book Review
  
"A little drama. A little romance. A lot of excitement. There's also a little religion, so consider yourself warned. Fortunately it's left for the reader to decide if the new powers come from god or if the scientific explanation is correct." --RJ
