the radiance
Coming August 2011 from Narrow Road Press

Former Army Ranger and failed pastor Travis Walker discovers hope for his shattered life coming from an unexpected source. A force of mysterious origin, dubbed the Radiance, is causing worldwide intelligence, both human and animal, to advance at a horrifying rate. Worse, no one knows when the effect will stop … or if it can be stopped.

A crack team of scientists, clerics and military leaders--and headed by Travis’s wealthy industrialist brother Sean--is hastily assembled to combat the phenomenon. Against his better judgment Travis is drafted into this group to give his “everyman” take on things. There he finds himself running on an inside track, battling not only worldwide hopelessness, terrorism, and greed, but his own dark and cynical passions as well.

And it is here, in this strange new battlefield at the brink of Armageddon, the wounded warrior finds his hard-won skills being called upon, one last time.

Before it's over Mac will find himself plunged into a horrifying world of human experimentation and illegal organ harvesting, at the core of which throbs a devastating nightmare of kidnapping, torture, madness, and death.
