He Is Coming: Rise of the Antichrist

December 2030. In America the Mass is a crime, practicing Catholics are classified as domestic terrorists, and an AI surveillance system called the Task List watches every citizen, every hour, everywhere. The visible Church has made its peace with the regime. The real Church has gone underground. Father Edmund Fisher tends a community garden on Long Island. To the state, he is a gardener with a clean record and a quiet manner. To the hunted faithful of his sector, he is something else: the priest who hears confessions among the roses and offers the ancient Mass in hidden rooms before dawn. One year ago, Edmund watched his bishop die rather than surrender the secret entrusted to him — a sealed cedar box, carved with the Keys of Saint Peter, to be opened on a single appointed date and carried to a man whom God would reveal. That date has come. Edmund opens the letter, lifts the Box, and steps onto dark water with no idea that he has exactly three days — or that the most powerful man in the world wants what he carries. Because the regime’s master is about to reveal himself. The world will call him a savior. Scripture has another name for him. Hunted by Richard Topcliffe — a priest-hunter who carries a deck of cards bearing the faces of the men he has sworn to kill slowly — and guarded by a federal agent living a double life sworn to a dead bishop, Edmund must cross a surveilled America with the Church’s last treasure, and decide, mile by mile, whether he has the courage to follow his bishop all the way to the end. He Is Coming: The Rise of the Antichrist opens a trilogy — a Catholic apocalyptic thriller with the pace of a techno-thriller and the clock of a countdown. Three days. One box. The fate of the Church on earth. For readers who sense the headlines beginning to rhyme with the Apocalypse — and who wonder what they would do when the knock comes.
