The Gem Trilogy begins with The Gem Testament. There you will meet demons and angels, nightmares and visions, artificial intelligence and the sword of Eden. In "The Chosen," devastation haunts America. James Broddin, Gem Matthews and Roger Noguchi have survived the battle with a demon who sought to gain Eden's Sword and destroy the Earth. Now they have been blamed for the destruction which radiated outward from that battle and are being sought by the very nation they saved. The National Authorities would like to destroy them, but not before learning the secret of the auras which protect them, of the swords which they wield. Hunted by demons, by Feral tribes, by the authorities and by one determined sniper, they seek only peace. Yet, peace is elusive in a nation divided and devastated.David Saul is the primary science reporter for the National Government. While reporting on the events and causes of the destruction of America, he stumbles upon a secret which could result in the final destruction of all mankind, a secret which his best friend has hidden from him. The lives of Gem and those she loves, and the existence of all mankind, hang upon the decision of this one man--to choose love or betrayal. In this future America, all are chosen. Some are chosen for life, some death. Some are chosen to witness, some for combat. The Chosen become pawns in a war which has its roots at the beginning of time, when Eden still lived. Watch for the third book of the Gem Trilogy, "The Fallowers." In a nation split apart, generations have passed. Two cultures remain completely separated by shields, by prejudice and hate, by the determination of one to eradicate the other-- forever.
