The Traveler

The Incident, Book 6

In the year 2040, faith is not just a belief but a formidable force that can shape reality itself.

Deacon Mercer embarks on a perilous journey to the legendary city of New Jerusalem, carrying only his grandfather’s weathered Bible and an unshakable resolve. In a dystopian world governed by the ruthless Syndicate, where religious devotion is surveilled and exploited, Deacon’s pilgrimage transforms into a desperate battle for survival.

Traversing through the decaying remnants of civilization, Deacon crosses paths with Faith Amari, a no-nonsense guide with a disdain for religion, and a diverse group of allies each guarding their own enigmatic truths. Together, they confront savage mercenaries, radiation-afflicted outcasts, and the Syndicate’s most relentless enforcers.

Yet, when Deacon utters his prayers, miracles unfold. Technology falters. Wounds close. The inconceivable becomes tangible.

The Syndicate takes notice. Rather than eradicating faith, they seek to harness its power as a weapon. And they are willing to go to any lengths to seize the extraordinary abilities Deacon unwittingly possesses.

Caught in a tightening web of adversaries and with his comrades questioning their purpose, Deacon must weigh the value of his quest. In a world where faith can reshape reality and attract danger in equal measure, he finds himself pursued as the most coveted prize alive.
