"Just because something can't be undone doesn't mean it can't be redeemed." The year is 2122, and Zachary Barrett has made a habit of running from the disgrace of his family legacy. When offered the opportunity to regain a leadership role and restore his sullied reputation back home in New Augsburg, the temptation is too great to resist. But forces conspire against him. The stain of his own misdeeds, his father's unexpected release from federal prison, and once-in-a-generation natural disasters threaten to interfere with his dreams of a fresh start. Nearly four years into married life, Lydia Schaeffer thought she'd learned to trust God's timing, but the unfulfilled desire to start a family leaves an ache in her heart. When her former nemesis returns to town and begins to spend time with one of Lydia's dearest friends, past wounds and unforgiveness threaten to compound her grief. As the residents of New Augsburg reckon with the sins of generations past and present, the challenges of a hostile government, and the unpredictable forces of nature, they must extend Christ-like grace to one another, facing the consequences of the past no matter the cost to the future.

The world didn't end all at once. It bled out. Enter the Rotwind universe with Dead Drops, a visceral, post-apocalyptic sci-fi anthology set before the events of the main series. Before Morgan Reed’s mission... Before the conspiracy was exposed... There were the people who kept humanity alive, one impossible choice at a time. THE LAST RUN Jenkins, a legendary courier, prepares for a 300-mile delivery carrying medical supplies and letters from home. With a storm rising over the mountains, he leads with duty, not fear. But on a crumbling pass, Jenkins makes a sacrifice that will echo through the future of the Pit Stop itself. THE SKY ABOVE THE ROT Pat Thorne, a fierce pilot, loses her aircraft to the New American Republic—until she decides to steal it back. Stranded over the wastelands, her only lifeline is a mysterious voice on the radio guiding her toward a hidden stronghold. Her new future begins with a single, illegal flight... and a debt she can never repay. THE GATEKEEPER Lieutenant Silas Vance is the perfect NAR officer on paper, but in the shadows, he’s smuggling persecuted families out of his own city. When a sick child is marked for "biological remediation," Vance risks everything under the eyes of the ruthless Director Langford. One mistake means execution.
The world didn’t die in a single stroke. It withered, spore by spore, until the new order rose from the decay—built on a lie. Morgan Reed has survived the Rotwind plague, the collapse of civilization, and the brutal regime rising from its ashes. As a courier, he crosses fungal wastelands no one else dares to enter. He follows a simple code: deliver the package, protect the truth, stay alive. But when the New American Republic orders him to transport a sealed capsule across a fractured America, the code breaks. The secrecy is suffocating. The sender, Director Langford, leaves only destruction in his wake. When a murdered scientist’s final message reveals the truth, Morgan realizes the capsule isn’t just classified. It’s catastrophic. It contains a weapon engineered to reignite the plague—a system designed to wipe out an entire settlement under the guise of humanitarian aid. Betrayed. Hunted. Marked for execution. Morgan has only one option: Run. Alongside Vivian "Vex" Song, a guarded tech with her own scars, and Ghost, a pre-collapse war machine with absolute loyalty, Morgan races across a landscape twisted by fungal storms and lawless zones ruled by corporate kill teams. Every safehouse could be a trap. Every step brings them closer to the conspiracy at the rotten core of the new world. From the neon shadows of the Free City of Dulles to the fortified Monolith garrison in Pittsburgh, or the snow-capped peaks of Colorado, they uncover a chilling truth: the Rotwind was never an accident. And the next phase will be global.
A government Algorithm scores every citizen's loyalty. What you read, who you talk to, and where you go all feed the number. Stay above the threshold, and life continues. Drop below it, and a team shows up before dawn. Three days later, you walk out empty. Compliant. Calibrated. No longer a problem. Derrick Grimetti has been on the enforcement side for twelve years. Liquidation Processing. He clears the apartments of people who stopped being people the moment their scores bottomed out. It's clean work if you don't look at the photographs. He looked. A list of names hidden in a dead teacher's evidence box. His brother's name is seventh on the page. One stolen document. One partner who notices everything, and a ticking clock, twelve days before the Algorithm flags Lawrence Grimetti for acquisition and erases everything. Confidence Score is dystopian fiction that hits close to the bone, a story about algorithmic control, the criminalization of knowledge, and two people inside the machine who decide the cost of compliance is higher than the cost of treason. This is the kind of book the Ministry would ban.
