Everyone please read this awesome review I got from The Bookish Elf regarding my book," The End: Alpha." The Bookish Elf writes incredible reviews, and they are spot-on. Thanks!

===

In an age where dystopian fiction often feels like a warning rather than entertainment, Aaron Ryan's "The End: Alpha" cuts uncomfortably close to the bone. The year is 2113, and half of humanity has been wiped out by a devastating virus. From the ashes rises Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow—a name dripping with irony—who transforms into "Nero" and launches a systematic purge of Christianity with mechanical precision.

What haunts me most about Ryan's vision isn't the technology—though the amber-marked necks of believers and the relentless Guardian machines that hunt them are terrifying innovations—but the plausibility of how quickly society accepts the persecution. The way neighbors inform on neighbors. The way faith becomes criminal overnight. The way the question "Citizen, do you recant?" becomes a death sentence.

Ryan masterfully orchestrates three distinct perspectives: eighteen-year-old Sage Maddox, whose family has been executed by Guardians; resistance leader Colonel Thomas Drexler, orchestrating The Defiance from the shadows; and High Vassal Maximillian, whose slavish devotion to Nero reveals the psychological underpinnings of totalitarianism. Through these lenses, we witness both humanity's capacity for cruelty and its potential for transcendent courage.

The novel's greatest strength lies in how it portrays faith under fire. When young Luca faces a Guardian and shouts "Jesus Christ reigns!" knowing it means certain death, or when an elderly believer named Jasper finds creative ways to survive without denying his Lord, Ryan captures the essence of what belief means when it carries mortal consequences.

Having previously crafted the alien-invasion saga "Dissonance," Ryan brings that same intensity to a more intimate apocalypse. His prose carries urgency without sacrificing depth, particularly in moments of quiet reflection between harrowing escapes.

At Atlas of Stories, we believe that books serve as maps—guiding readers through history, culture, and sometimes, the practicalities of life itself. Sneha Sabu’s Stay Safe with Ruby and Reuben: An Interactive Safety Book for Preschoolers and Primary School Children is one such book.

Have you read this book? It’s the most important book for our time! 🇬🇷 🇺🇸

It presents a new revelation about Jesus that the Holy Spirit has disclosed to many believers, but which most people don’t know about. I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that this revelation is not of human origin. The author did not invent it. He did not receive it from any man, nor was he taught it; rather, he received it by revelation from God.

We must enlighten those who have no connection to the Holy Spirit——who are constantly being brainwashed by the media——and pull them out of the Matrix.

So Grab your copy now! Read it and share it with as many people as possible!

“The book is beautifully written.”

And sure, winning an award is nice — validating even. But it also doesn’t increase my enjoyment of a book. In fact, as many award winning books are classified as ‘literary fiction’, I don’t tend to read them. I’m definitely more about…

An illustration of one of the scenes in my Dark Fey Trilogy The Chamber of Radiance sparkled in the morning shower of scintillating light. Its golden walls and polished marble floor of pearlescent white reflected the bright rays of first light in a tumbling wash of glittering glow. Standing in the midst of this illumination upon a gold mirror set into the stone floor, Gairynzvl waited. Before…

"You! You can’t just walk in here! This is a crime scene!”

“That would explain the dead bodies, then,” she replied. He blinked dumbly, and she sighed. Wasting good sarcasm was annoying.
