BOOK ONE in the ORDAINED CATASTROPHE series The United States has survived a pandemic and the famine that followed, but America finds herself backed into a corner when Chinese-Russian forces arrive at her borders. In a country starved of patriotism and divided on every stance, this invasion is the breaking point. Brigadier General Claudius St. Olliare finds himself at the head of his unit’s defensive strategies, but it’s hard to make decisions while he is torn between his discarded faith and a scandalous forbidden love with a younger soldier. Major Keoni Banks knows she shouldn’t be involved in a secret romance with a general, especially as a Christian woman. But she lets her heart take over, instead of her faith. Zion Reinhardt, a deacon at a famous mega-church in Illinois has everything he needs–money, fame, and his pick of the pretty church girls. But he doesn’t have a heart for God. No wonder these three people are left behind to face the chaos when the sky cracks open and Jesus returns. Now they must try to survive the coming war, panicking riots, and pestilence outbreaks. Not to mention the rumors of another force joining the fray … something supernatural. Something that isn’t even alive anymore…
