The One

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU FOLLOW

​

A false messiah. A pending alien invasion. One mysterious young girl stands in defiance.

 

After losing his wife and daughter, Navy Chaplain Luke Remington encounters a crisis of faith and reinvents himself as an elite Navy SEAL sniper. When Luke’s first overwatch assignment at a controversial UN Summit is disrupted by an all-powerful figure claiming to be Jesus, things get weird—especially when the crowd starts vanishing by the hundreds.

 

But his trouble really starts when a peculiar nine-year-old girl defies the alleged messiah and motions for Luke to come find her. Thus begins a mind-blowing and dangerous adventure that will challenge his sense of trust and determine the fate of the planet.

 

With increasing evidence of an alien-government conspiracy and an extraordinary child with unearthly powers, who can Luke trust?

 

The One is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller that offers mystery, suspense, and action and doesn’t let up until the final showdown in the singing sands of Death Valley. If you enjoy books with super-powered children, secret alien plots, and false deities, you’ll love this mind-mending thrill-ride from Edward Miller and J.B. Manas.

“... When Miller and Manas collaborate, I’m usually in. They haven’t let me down yet!... This book has everything... from the faith and the faithless to the military and the precocious young heroine. I especially enjoyed moments of high drama or action that were often punctuated by humor, very much in line with many blockbuster action franchises.... I’ve read what Edward Miller and J.B. Manas have done separately, but their powers combined are just next level. It makes every book the two of them write together pure enjoyment."
