Book 1 ● The Rogue ● 10:20

“Men’s hearts shall fail from fear… for the planets of the heavens shall be shaken” (Luke 21:26). When rookie astronomer Irina Kirilenko discovers a planet-size comet in the Kuiper Belt on a collision course for Mars, she first faces stonewalling from the Minor Planet Center, then coercion and stricture from NASA. They press her to embrace an ingenious re-interpretation of her discovery and ban her from talking about it. It slowly dawns on her that the government is fostering a massive conspiracy to keep the public oblivious to the truth — Earth is facing an existential threat. Unwilling to be silenced, she recruits fellow astronomer Ariele Serrafe to evaluate her discovery, placing both in the crosshairs of government agents. Set in a dystopian vision of the near future, ‘The Rogue’, the 1st volume of the Planets Shaken series, weaves the threads of biblical prophecy, ancient history, government conspiracy, and electric universe theory into a thought-provoking, tensely plotted thriller — one that asks us to reconsider the nature of the universe and the destiny of the world.

Book 2 ● The Rendezvous ● 10:10

The Rendezvous, 2nd volume of the Planets Shaken series, ramps up the action while it continues the story of the Rogue, a planet-sized comet which threatens to unleash the nightmare prophesied in Luke 21:26, “the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” Christian apocalyptic fiction with a scientific whallop. Irina is detained in FEMA 286 on Homeland Security charges. Ariele eludes the authorities and makes her way to the Compound, a preppers’ redoubt near Two Dot, Montana. Her new friends mastermind a plan to break Irina out.

Book 3 ● The Russian Run ● [audiobook is not available yet]

Woody’s cousin Jack and his former boss Sally are prisoners at FEMA 286. The heightened security measures leave the two inmates with few options and their friends at the Compound with none. They are on their own. Will their daring escape plan succeed? Irina and the Backstrom boys undertake a risky mission to Russia to procure a mirror and infrared sensors for Blake’s telescope. Will their cover hold? Can they trust their mafia sources? Can they make it across Siberia in the winter? Ariele and Sam journey to Atchafalaya Swamp on an adventure of their own to retrieve two sensors from a federal fugitive, a grizzled astronomer gone rogue, who is hiding deep in the wilderness. But the communities on the edge of the swamp are crawling with federal agents. Moreover, the swamp holds its own dangers. The Russian Run ratchets up the tension another notch as those aware of the comet known as the Rogue face peril from a government covering up the approaching threat, and the signs in the heavens and the growing Russian threat increasingly suggest to those who interpret the prophetic Scriptures literally that the world truly is entering the prophetic era.
