The One

A false messiah. A pending alien invasion. One mysterious young girl stands in defiance. After losing his wife and daughter, Navy Chaplain Luke Remington encounters a crisis of faith and reinvents himself as an elite Navy SEAL sniper. When Luke's first overwatch assignment at a controversial UN Summit is disrupted by an all-powerful figure claiming to be Jesus, things get weird-especially when the crowd starts vanishing by the hundreds. But his trouble really starts when a peculiar nine-year-old girl defies the alleged messiah and motions for Luke to come find her. Thus begins a mind-blowing and dangerous adventure that will challenge his sense of trust and determine the fate of the planet. With increasing evidence of an alien-government conspiracy and an extraordinary child with unearthly powers, who can Luke trust? The One is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that offers mystery, suspense, and action and doesn't let up until the final showdown in the singing sands of Death Valley. If you enjoy books with super-powered children, secret alien plots, and false deities, you'll love this mind-mending thrill-ride from Edward Miller and J.B. Manas.
