Matrix, move over! Frank Creed delivers non-stop action and pulse-pounding suspense in the best
book I've read this year! Frank's dry wit laces the story with humor, breathing life into unforgettable
characters, in a future you won't wish to see.
The year is 2036, the place is Chicago, Illinois, and the world has joined together under one
government called One State. Their primary objective: to outlaw Christianity. With persecution
dogging their heels, the Church goes underground, digging in to protect the Body from annihilation.
When Jen and Dave Williams find themselves dumped out of their father's car, he speeds away to
distract the "Peacekeepers" while the children hide under a bridge. But as Peacekeepers surround
them, a man of remarkable talents comes to their rescue, dazzling the children and disarming their
enemies. His name is Legacy.
Legacy leads Dave and Jen into the incredible world of the underground believers. They quickly
discover their own talents and gifts, and learn to use them to rescue the Church from the
brain-washing techniques of the Peacekeepers. Jen becomes e-girl, a whiz-kid with the ability to
interface with computers, relay information, and burrow herself into a cyber-reality. Dave becomes
a field agent like Legacy, adopting the name of Calamity Kid, who plans and executes rescue
operations, endeavoring to keep the precious Saints safe from the One State.
Travel the streets of Chicago with e-girl and Calamity Kid, as they struggle to find their places in the
Body of Christ, delving into spiritual warfare like you've never seen it before. Frank Creed's style is
pure genius, and you'll delight in the unique language he brings to this novel. Flashpoint, this first
book in Mr. Creed's series, is sure to leave you clamoring for more!
