ARCHANGEL: The Last Patriots Post-Apocalyptic Thriller (audiobook)

Book One in The Last Patriots Series

THEY’VE DONE THEIR BEST TO BE AT PEACEWITH ALL MEN... BUT PEACE HAS BEEN REJECTED.

“…All experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” ~Declaration of Independence - 1776

It was no surprise when the wars began. The powers that be had taken great pains to stoke the fires of division and hatred among the once free people of the no longer United States, and thereby strip all liberty, citing the people were no longer fit to think for themselves.

It was chaos. There were no battle lines, just people fueled by both fear and anger taking whatever they felt was their right, or necessary to survive. Violence erupted almost simultaneously in cities all across the country. D.C. was set ablaze, sending the government into hiding. People took matters into their own hands, defending their homes and families or fleeing into the countryside and wilderness.

Martial Law was enacted, but most of the military had already deserted out of necessity to protect their own. Within days, what military was left was forced to pull back as city after city fell to the violence. But this was only the beginning…
Living in the middle of nowhere, Minnesota, had kept them out of the troubles for the most part. They were a few of the lucky ones, able to fend for themselves, that is, until the Chinese military rolled up. Without warning, everything in their simple world went sideways.

Shivering in a damp ditch, cradling is father’s quivering body, 17-year-old Aaron Redding is the only one to hear his father’s final gasp, “Keep them safe…”

Praise for Archangel: The Last Patriots

★★★★★ - A Story for NOW: Relevant, Relatable and Revelatory!
A story for now, that mines the depths of one’s soul as you follow the journey of one family trying to find their way through modern civil war, and ultimately invasion. It uncovers all the questions we’re already asking ourselves and shares one family’s perspective. ARCHANGEL The Last Patriots is relevant, relatable, and revelatory. The very values this family holds dear are tested at every turn. Each family member finds something in themselves they didn’t know existed. The ultimate question of “Will it be enough?” will propel you through the story to the last page. ~ B. J.

★★★★★ - Archangel will expose who you are.
Difficult to put down. Faith, hope, and love were challenged by Archangel. The book is so real it will expose who you are. At times my shirt was wet with sweat and heart pounding. ~ R. E.

★★★★★ - Riveting! Don't start reading this book unless you want to be up all night! From start to finish, it is suspenseful and captivating. The Characters are well fleshed-out, and the situations are believable; if fact, in the current state of the world, one might almost say they are becoming likely. The author does a great job of presenting the moral dilemmas that arise in difficult circumstances, and without being moralistic or "preachy" he follows the thoughts and decisions of the people involved in each scenario to the right conclusion. I highly recommend it - on a weekend when you have a lot of free time! ~ C. T.
