| Publisher Description: An isolated religious sect in the desert confronts the collapse of civilization. Could this be the end of the world they've been waiting for? With the murderous Kimball clan's evil plots finally crushed, Dr. Jacob Christiansen begins to embrace his role as leader of the polygamist community of Blister Creek. Then the world around them falls apart, plagued by international crop failures and global starvation, fuel and medicine shortages, and looming war. Blister Creek suddenly faces the very doomsday scenario they've been preparing for. Years of stockpiling guns, ammunition, food, and fuel are paying off: They are ready to wait out whatever God has in store for them. But their preparations have not gone unnoticed. A newly empowered government agency and a vengeful governor have their sights set on Blister Creek and their supplies. Can Jacob defend his community and lead them through the apocalypse? Only God knows. |
