Publisher's Summary:
One nation, without God....
Colton Pierce apprehends Aberrants - those who display symptoms of faith - and quarantines them on a remote island to ensure public safety. Years prior, the government released a genetically-engineered super-flu that destroyed the genes believed to be the biological source of spiritual experience in an effort to rid the world of terrorism. As an extractor with the Center for Theological Control, Colton is dedicated to the cause.
But Colton's steadfast commitment is challenged when he learns his own son has been targeted for extraction. An underground militia, the Remnant, agrees to help Colton save his son in exchange for his assistance with their plan to free the Aberrants on the island.
Colton is faced with the most important decision of his life: remain faithful to the CTC? Or give up everything to save his son?

Experience the Possible Godless Future Before It Happens
Enter a future world that has eliminated all forms of religious expression... or almost eliminated them. Enter Colton, the self-centered, egotistical, Extractor, who is the best of those who hunt down and capture anyone who dares to have a religious moment. What happens when the narcissist tool of an anti-theistic government agency encounters a green-eyed beauty with eyes that see past the surface and courage to shape a new future? Read this and find out.
Or perhaps not and experience this some day in a not-too-promising future. ;-)
Enjoy.
A Successful Marriage of Sci-Fi and Religion
If a virus designed to eradicate all religious beliefs were delivered to the world's population in an attempt to end fanaticism and religion-based wars and acts of terrorism, would faith somehow manage to resurrect in the hearts of mankind? No matter what the risks, are faith and hope traits that cannot be destroyed?
In this sci-fi book, in which such a virus has been delivered, those who dare to believe and dare to pray are considered deviants, and as perceived dangers to peaceful society, are hunted down like animals and incarcerated for the rest of their lives in an island prison. In a world where everyone is monitored electronically, is there any way to escape surveillance and to live a life in freedom... including the right to believe?
Now, new legislation has been passed. To save on the high cost of feeding and caring for an ever-growing population of "deviants," they will all be exterminated. Thus escalates the battle between those who want to destroy all believers and all who want to save them.
This is a thought-provoking read, which successfully marries the genres of sci-fi and religion.
A Timely Theme
I was worried that Iâd be confronted with a lot of religious preaching when I read the the blurb on this book, but that didnât turn out to be the case. There were Biblical comparisons along the way, but they didnât detract from my enjoyment of the story.
However, at first, I didnât think Iâd be able to finish reading this book because I absolutely did not relate to the main character, Colton. He was obnoxious and oblivious to peopleâs feelings. He blindly followed the government and had no compassion for the lives he destroyed to remain the top âextractor.â He was everything I do not like in a real person. Then he came to his test: save his son or his career.
