Book 1
Faith After Death: Hope ForsakenIt begins without warning. A flu unlike any the world has seen. Within days, the infected change — growing unnaturally strong, driven to move, to spread, earning a name that will haunt the survivors: Runners. Within weeks, billions are dead. Within months, the world is gone.
Trent Forrester and Ryan Griggs were already legends in the scientific world — two brilliant minds who discovered a way for people to communicate using thought alone. Now, sequestered by a government that saw the end coming, they are among the few hundred people left alive. Trent is isolated near the Arctic, connected to the other survivors through the very satellite network he and Ryan built. He and a team of scientists race to find a cure before there is no one left to save.
But finding a cure means finding a Runner. And the only one still alive is in Alaska.
Trent volunteers for a mission that no one should survive. He knows the risks. He goes anyway. And when everything goes wrong — when the suit fails and the virus finds him alone on the frozen tundra — he has time for one last conversation with the people he loves before the darkness takes him.
Then something approaches out of the white. Something enormous. And Trent realizes, in his final moments, that the virus may be the least of what’s coming.
Hope Forsaken is the first book in the Faith After Death series — a sweeping science fiction saga that asks whether science and God are as far apart as we think.
