For the Earth to survive, one father must sacrifice his only son.
A father. A dying planet. A sacrifice that mirrors the greatest story ever told. As The World Burns weaves faith, prayer, and biblical allegory into a gripping sci-fi catastrophe. In 2557, 15-year-old Cooper Calloway lives 75 miles underground in a sealed plastic habitat because metal clings to his irradiated skin. Every heartbeat steals momentum from the planet, shortening the days and setting continents on fire. It is a lean, emotionally-direct Christian dystopia: an android guard named Valente, a girl who whispers Cooper's name across a lava gulf, a first love written clean. In the end, what will one father give out of love? For readers who want their theology embedded in genuine human stakes, this one delivers. Fans of Away by Megan E. Freeman and The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker will devour this book!
