Blurb:


Elias traded a perfect prison for a dangerous hope.

He chose to "unplug," and with the mysterious priest and his resistance team, he's finally on the right side of the war. Their mission is to save humanity from a digital lie and reclaim a world from the ashes of nuclear fallout.

But as they fight through a fragmented reality, every victory feels hollow. Every truth they uncover leads to more questions. Their enemies are ghosts, their allies are untested, and the priest's faith is shaken by a new, insidious enemy: doubt.

What if the prison was just a single floor in a tower of lies?

What if hope is just another program designed to keep you running in place?

How can you save humanity when you can’t even tell what’s real?

Ashes of Eden continues a riveting new series exploring faith, sacrifice, and the ultimate questions: What does it mean to be human? Can we really save ourselves? Can we truly love without sacrifice?

The Eden Protocols series engages faith, sacrifice, and the ultimate questions: What does it mean to be human? Can we really save ourselves? Can we truly love without sacrifice?

Fans of Judah Lamb's The Unfallen series will love this new Christian dystopian and post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. It's perfect for readers who loved The Matrix, Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, and Ready Player One.

Sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go of a beautiful lie.

My Review:

Ashes of Eden is the second installment in Judah Lamb's thrilling science fiction series, The Eden Protocols. This story is incredibly engaging and strongly evokes comparisons to Ready Player One and The Matrix.

From the very first chapter, I found myself immersed in its universe, trying to discern whether Elias's experiences were genuine or merely illusions. It was challenging to witness Elias grapple with the same uncertainty, especially as Father Curt and Dr. Chen cast doubt on what he perceived, insisting that it was not real and that his mind was deceiving him because of his connection to the Eden Protocols system.

Ashes of Eden is a gripping narrative that will undoubtedly capture your interest, just as it did mine from start to finish. The vivid descriptions were so expertly crafted that I could easily visualize everything unfolding in my imagination, as if I were watching a television series or even participating in the tale myself.

Regarding TV adaptations, I would love to see Ashes of Eden as a TV series. I would enjoy it as much as Ready Player One and The Matrix.

I eagerly anticipate delving into the next book in The Eden Protocols series to discover the developments this fascinating new world has in store.

If you enjoy reading science fiction thrillers, be sure to pick up a copy of Ashes of Eden today.
