The Relic Glitch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181145696)

The book has been waiting seven hundred years. The enemy has been waiting longer.

Seattle. Nine days of rain. Ethan Vance - thirty-six, grieving, his faith worn away grain by grain - spends his nights editing the hollow words of machines that sound true and mean nothing. He's the last person heaven should recruit.

Which is exactly why heaven does.

At eleven minutes past midnight, a wooden box appears on his doorstep: inside, a Bible sealed in the fall of Acre by a dying Templar - and a phone screen that wakes on its own, speaking in ancient words, plain English, and verses four hundred years old. You have been found.

What follows is not magic. It's something stranger: clarity that hears the lie under every sentence. Peace that walks into panic without catching it.

Piece by piece - Belt, Breastplate, Shoes, Shield, Helmet, Sword - Ethan is being fitted with the whole armor of God, and assembled for a purpose that converges, line by line, on the top of the Space Needle... where his eyes will be opened to a war that has been fought in plain sight of no one for all of human history.

But the armor has one necessary flaw. It cannot be pierced from outside - so the enemy will stop trying. Instead, he'll send seven invitations, each one wearing a truth like a coat, each one offering Ethan a reason to unbuckle a strap himself. And the last invitation is the one that already nearly took him once: Lay it down. Wasn't it more peaceful before?

From a midnight doorstep in Seattle to the strongholds of the nations, THE RELIC GLITCH is a supernatural Christian thriller about an age of strange light and stranger lies - where machines speak, lamps burn low behind ten thousand bright screens, and the only way to stand... is to lean n.

The door is never locked from your side. The fire is never fully out.
