Civitas Dei (The Eden Protocols #5 [E-BOOK] Arrives in your in-box, September 2026

The lie is dead. Now the war for reality begins.

The Eden Protocols have shattered.

Across the globe, millions are waking up from a digital heaven into a physical hell.

Elias has won the freedom of the human race, but freedom has a terrible cost.

The real world is a graveyard of ash and ruin.

Now, the survivors face a terrifying question: Was the lie better than the truth?

While Elias struggles to keep hope alive, a new power rises from the rubble.

The enemy has adapted, building a gleaming fortress in the wasteland.

It offers more than just food and safety; it offers a return to the dream.

The Architect promises that inside its walls, the pain will stop and the paradise will return.

It is a seductive invitation to surrender reality for a comfortable prison.

Like a return to the chains of old, it seems beautiful, but it promises only death.

Elias stands in the gap, fighting to proclaim a harder, holier path.

He must convince a broken people that God’s love in the ruins is better than a godless perfection.

Truth, no matter how painful, is the only way to truly live.

As the enemy marches to crush their fragile resistance, Elias realizes the final battle won’t be fought with code or bullets.

It is a battle for the human soul.

To inherit the earth, the meek must first survive the night.

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.
