THE END - Alpha: A Dystopian Christian End-Times Fiction Thriller (THE END: A Christian End Times Fiction Book Series 1) Kindle Edition

by Aaron Ryan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars (112)

When a man with power believes he's God, mankind doesn't have a prayer.


===

In a world ravaged by chaos and despair, where faith itself is under siege, one man’s thirst for power threatens to plunge humanity into darkness. The End: Alpha thrusts readers into the year 2113, where Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow, now self-styled as “Nero,” has orchestrated a brutal campaign against Christianity, all while masquerading as a beacon of hope.

As a devastating virus decimates the population and leaves a power vacuum, Nero rises to claim dominion over the remnants of mankind, unleashing his merciless “Guardians” to hunt down the faithful. Among the survivors is 18-year-old Sage Maddox, a wise-beyond-his-years hero forged in tragedy. With his family lost to the very machines that protect Nero's twisted regime, Sage becomes a reluctant warrior, fueled by a fierce determination to restore justice and safety to beleaguered Christians everywhere.

But as Sage navigates this treacherous landscape, he finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with Colonel Thomas Drexler of The Defiance and Nero's greatest sycophant, High Vassal Maximillian. Each move they make could tip the balance of power in this dystopian nightmare, where trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks around every corner.

Dark, thrilling, and thought-provoking, The End: Alpha explores the depths of human resilience and the unyielding spirit of faith in the face of annihilation. Will Sage rise to challenge the antichrist figure that looms over him, or will he fall victim to the very darkness he seeks to vanquish?

Dive into this gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The battle for the soul of humanity has begun—will you join the fight?

===

Bestselling author Aaron Ryan of the "Dissonance" alien invasion saga presents the first installment in a riveting post-apocalyptic and dystopian Christian fiction ebooks series.

In "The End: Alpha", you'll meet the new antichrist, Nero...and you'll pray for his downfall.

In the smattering of Christian end times fiction books, "THE END: Alpha" is a standout! "THE END" Series will leave your heart pounding and take you on a post-apocalyptic thrill ride of epic dystopian proportions as you fight to survive along with Sage and the rest of humanity through what indeed appear to be the end times!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The End: Alpha throws you headfirst into a brutal, faith-fueled fight for survival. Ryan pulls you into the fear and tension with sharp, first-person storytelling that doesn't waste time explaining every little thing. You get dumped straight into Sage's world, where paranoia and grief drip from every page. And, man, does the book make you feel the weight of it. That opening chapter where Sage recalls the government "census" that secretly branded Christians was chilling. ★★★★★" -Literary Titan
 
"The tension keeps building with each chapter as characters navigate a broken America where faith becomes the ultimate act of rebellion. Ryan doesn't pull punches—this post-apocalyptic journey through persecution is raw and unflinching, yet threaded with moments of genuine hope that shine like beacons in darkness. What makes Ryan's storytelling so powerful is how he weaves biblical truths into every aspect of the narrative without feeling preachy. The characters' faith isn't presented as a magical solution, but as a source of strength amid unimaginable adversity." -The Bookish Elf

Award-winning and bestselling author, speaker, panelist, workshop presenter and voice actor Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and the finches Burger, Nugget and Fry.

He is the prolific author of the bestselling "Dissonance" 6-book alien invasion saga, the Christian dystopian fiction trilogy "The End," the "Talisman" trilogy, the sci-fi thrillers "Forecast", "The Slide," and "The Phoenix Experiment", the nonfiction book "God Is Not Santa," the children's picture books "The Ring of Truth," "The Sword of Joy" and "The Book of Power," the business reference books "How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book" and "The Superhero Anomaly", 6 business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room."

When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, "The Electric Boy" was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron's desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create.

He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment.

Aaron's favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L'Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Tim Lebbon, Christopher Golden, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry.

Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.

You won’t want to put it down!
Aaron Ryan has written a terrifyingly believable book full of twists and turns! This book will pull you in and not let go! The world the characters live in is crazy and evil but they let faith lead the way! This is an apocalyptic book featuring a super villain, Nero, but also a book about faith, Christianity, and courage! This is a very detailed, suspenseful, and action packed book! I highly, highly recommend this!

    Aaron Ryan has written a book that has believable characters and a twisting plot that can be drawn from today’s headlines. When a virus breaks out and the evil president blames Christians for not only this virus but for all the chaos in today’s world. The protagonist. Sage, sees his parents and sister killed for their Christianity. He must now outrun the Guard. This book tells a believable story that should concern every Christian today. The author does not shy from difficult and complex themes like faith under fire and loyalty to our faith. This theme seems very relevant to what is occurring in our world today.

    Aaron Ryan has crafted something truly unique with "THE END: Alpha" - a post-apocalyptic thriller that seamlessly weaves Christian faith into a dystopian narrative without feeling preachy or forced. Set in 2113, this book presents a chillingly believable future where society has collapsed under the weight of a devastating virus and the iron fist of a dictator named Nero.

    What sets this book apart from other dystopian fiction is Ryan's masterful character development, particularly with 18-year-old protagonist Sage, whose journey from tragedy to resistance is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. The author doesn't shy away from exploring complex themes about persecution, faith under fire, and the dangerous power of fearmongering - themes that feel eerily relevant to our current times.

    THE END: Alpha (THE END: A Christian Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian End-Times Saga Book 1) by Aaron Ryan is a great read and unique. The combination of a dystopian end of times story with a Christian slant captured my attention. The setting is way in the future and society has crumbled due to a variety of factors, a virus and a dictator named Nero who is in power. Seems eerily familiar, but maybe not. The writing is perfect, pulls you in and doesn't let go. With finely nuanced characters, intricate settings and a solid pace, the book held my attention. If you're a fan of dystopian fiction, this is a book you won't want to miss. Recommended.

    Aaron Ryan wrote a wonderful book. It was very well researched. Very creative and imaginative. It makes you think of what is happening in our country now. It makes you reflect on what is happening in the world, and will it really happen. Aaron Ryan wrote a great book that this reader couldn't put it down. I felt the author has a great talent for bringing the characters together, and the plot of this story was so exciting, making this reader wonder what was going to happen next. As I read it I was hoping for a peaceful resolution to the problem that was existing in this story. This was a great book, and a great reflection to think about that and how we have beliefs, and to keep them strong. I give this book a 5-star rating. I would recommend this book to others if given the chance.

    Post-Apocalyptic times and dystopian sagas are always fascinating to read for fantasy and science fiction fans. This book is an interesting take on the end of a society, and what looks like may be the end of humanity as well. After a virus decimates the population and an authoritative leader takes the lead, the government starts persecuting Christians. It is frightening to see the need humans have to blame a particular group for something that is completely out of their control. Although Christians are the ones persecuted in this book, and the leader is a not, I believe the author is making a commentary on how fanaticism and fearmongering can cause normal people to behave very badly, no matter what the group is labeled. It has been repeated many times throughout history, and humans never learn. The plot moves quickly, and the characters are developed. The action scenes are well-written. The book is written from several perspectives. It is interspersed with Bible verses that fit within with the plot. Overall, it is a worthwhile read.

    The end is a good post-apocalyptic read revolving around 4 different groups of people fighting for all their own beliefs while trying to clash with the others over their beliefs at the same time. All of this starts with a leader named Nero getting elected to power by winning people over only for the people to find out that the person they elected turned their back on the people with the leader's ultimate goal of destroying Christianity. That's when the people believing in Christianity turn to someone named Sage Maddox to help them with saving Christianity and taking on the evil emperor Nero. Readers get to follow Sage on his quest to save Christianity and eventually take on Nero. Even if this book uses a lot of different themes and sections from the Christian Bible, it is still a great post-apocalyptic book to read, and I hope the Christianity aspect of this book does not scare people away from reading it. I would also encourage readers to read this book with an open mind and use this book as an escape from reality as well. With the way the book ends, I hope the author is able to write a sequel so readers can see what happens with Sage and Nero in the future with everything that happens!

    If you are a fan of books that propose post-apocalyptic dystopias, thrillers, fiction and action, this book combines those elements in a very clever way to keep you connected the whole read.

    In my opinion, the way the author combines topics that are not usually combined such as apocalyptic with faith and Christianity makes it a book like no other and is so unique that it is interesting.

    I also loved that the main character was such a complex character and that the plot was so suspenseful and action packed because there wasn't a single minute of the book that I didn't feel connected!
