Christian Fiction Review Blog tour of Flashpoint by Frank Creed (Book 1 in the Underground series)
About the author:
On May 9th of 1998, Frank Creed survived a high-speed head-on collision that broke him in half and induced a severe closed head injury. After living in a delusional state for two weeks, it was the doctors opinion that with years of therapy, Mr. Creed would only recover sixty percent of his mental capacity.
Then his pastor visited.
They enjoyed a lucid conversation, and prayed. When Frank Creed awoke the next morning his delusional state had been healed. A fake hip and pelvis likely dooms him to a wheelchair by age fifty, and his physical condition severely challenged him in his profession as an auto-worker at Subaru of Indiana automotive.
Frank feels not only that the troubles in his life have
refined him as a writer, but the closed head injury was a
blessing in disguise. Before the auto-accident he’d begun his
fantasy novella White Iron, which meandered and jammed, but,
post-accident, everything flowed. The course of his life at that
moment changed. He even married his editor!
Summary of the book:
Persecution in Chicago has reached the Flashpoint.
In the year 2036, all nations are run by a one-world government.
The One State has but one threat:
Fundamentalist terrorists.
The One State has declared that Bible believing Christians are now terrorists.
When peacekeepers bust a home-church in Ward-Six of the Chicago Metroplex, brother and sister, Dave and Jen Williams, are the only members who evade capture.
Their only place to turn? A Christian ‘terrorist’ cell known as the Body of Christ.
In their shattered world, Dave and Jen adopt codenames and slip between the Underground cracks of the Chicago Metroplex. They must save their home-church before their parents, brother, and neighbors are all brainwashed by the One State Neros or worse.
Calamity Kid and e-girl fearlessly walk the valley of death, because He is with them.
But they’ll need every molecule of their re-formed faith to face down peacekeepers, gangers, One-State neros, and fallen-angels, in America’s dark Post-Modern Humanist age.
