Mission: Butterfly (March of Mankind Book 1) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781967679522)

We're in a war and it's the worst kind of war, not by enemies from outside, but by enemies inside our gates. We're fighting a war and we can't back down. We gotta never comply.

These words of a dead man, repeated in a ravaged city by his valiant widow, prove to be true. The battleground is people's minds, with the objective being totalitarian control.

Post-pandemic, after a devastating loss, emerging from his self-imposed mountain exile, Dr. Lionel Goudreault is given an enigmatic mission from a dying Indigenous elder: "Save the butterfly; save the children."

Unsure of what it means, Lionel has only his wits and his faith as he battles his way through a dystopian landscape. He encounters parallel societies, gangs, victims of trafficking, a growing global military presence and a mysterious black helicopter.

Then there are those children he keeps encountering.
