Deacon, the hero of the Rock in 'After the End,' returns in this novel titled 'A New Beginning.'
The newly promoted Deacon Fortis is given command over the survivors of the asteroid that had been his lifelong home and must prove himself worthy of inclusion into his fellow human ranks. While Deacon trains, however, a new threat emerges, grows, and consumes its way toward him.
"A New Beginning' starts where 'After the End' left off and delves even deeper into the oppression and hatred between species. Deacon finds himself in a struggle between two sides who see his very existence as disruptive and controversial. He remains stalwart as ever and teaches, through his example, that respect can bridge any divide.
