ACTION OF PURPOSE TRILOGY
Book 1
Mad Max meets The Walking Dead and Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness in this epic post-apocalyptic action-adventure romp with strong themes of faith, purpose, and redemption.
With no hope of receiving a vital heart transplant, police officer Kane Lorusso knows his days are numbered. He will never play ball with his young son or get to see his daughter married. Spiraling into a pit of depression, Kane believes his life is over. Little does he know that mysterious forces are at work in his life and in his heart.
On a cool April morning, the civilized world crumbles in the wake of worldwide chemical attacks and nuclear destruction. Kane, a bitter agnostic, is torn to his foundation by the realization that the God of the universe has preserved him for a reason. Testing a newfound faith, he must forge alliances with the other chosen and vow to make a stand against the rising tide of darkness. Preyed upon by ghoulish, cannibalistic mutants and pursued by a merciless gang of bandits demented by an unimaginably sinister power, Kane finds that the road to redemption is paved equally with terror and hope as he struggles to fulfill his purpose and become the man both Heaven and Earth need him to be.
"A strongly told, well-paced, inspirational story for Christians and nonbelievers alike … scenes of flight and conflict are perfectly, tautly rendered and aptly convey the fear and desolation of the ruined world."~ KIRKUS REVIEWS

Sinking deeper day by day into a mire of personal loss, self-loathing, and despair, former police officer Kane Lorusso is at a crossroads. After all the evil he has endured at the hands of the psychotic warlord, Malak, and his army of bandits, Kane struggles to physically and emotionally survive his own worst nightmare.

As new allies join the fight and old enemies reemerge from the wasteland, Malak’s savage bandit army gathers in the West, preparing to unleash an unspeakable evil upon the whole of creation. Destinies intertwine in a timeless conflict as Kane and his friends come to the sobering realization that they are the last hope of a dying world. Will they lay down and be consumed as every last ember of hope is stamped out? Or will they stand one last time against the fading of the light?
