Apotheosis: Dead Forever Book 2

[William Campbell]

A god? No thanks, too much responsibility.

Sequel to Awakening, the adventure continues as the rebel team travels to the Restricted Zone, but mistakes mount and the mission falls apart. Plunged into an alien world at war, the hero is caught between battling natives who either regard him as a god or another heretic fit to burn.

The hero fights to bring peace among chaos but his nemesis has arrived, and he likes playing god, poised to launch unthinkable wrath that fulfills a world-ending prophecy. As their mighty gods clash, the warring natives are driven to extremes of intolerance and cruelty. The hero only wished to save their ravaged kingdom, not fuel its destruction.

A duel of the gods will decide the planet's fate, and the natives are confident their savior will prevail. But he is only a man, equally anxious to save himself, and there is no divine escape for mere mortals. The final conflict will expose the truth, either swaying the beliefs of devout minions or immortalizing the dead hero for eternity.

Back home, the rebels are under siege and the body supply is depleted, more of all the hero is expected to fix while he only longs to be a child again, the one dream denied him for lifetimes. He hatches a daring plot to outsmart the enemy, risking his own life and the last body to enjoy as a free soul. A single choice could spell his end, for real this time. Dead forever.

Hi William,

Terrific description! I was reminded of the anti-hero in S.R. Donaldson's, The Covenant Saga. Thomas Covenant is seen by the natives as the reincarnation of their greatest hero, but Thomas is a leper with a serious guilt trip and a death wish. The more "good" that the natives see in him, the more his shadow side wants to prove them wrong. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and good luck!

"Apotheosis is a solid science fiction adventure with a unique idea that drives it ever forward. I’ll happily read the third installment."

 Looks interesting

"This is a great book to read. It's as entertaining as any good book, but unlike many it tackles some of the deep problems and questions of the world today, in a way that is subtle as you read the book, but makes you think when you put it down. If you are looking for a book that makes you think about the world, then this is a great one to read. I don't want to give anything away, but the theological implications are fascinating."

--Adam Bourke, Review Haven: Fantasy and Sci-Fi

If the books are as cool as the covers then you have it made!  I'm sampling!

"This futuristic sequel to DEAD FOREVER: AWAKENING continues the personal conflicts of these human characters as they change physically, but maintain their friendships, love, and animosities. The strength of APOTHEOSIS is the continuation of the relationships between the characters, even with their body changes. The humanity towards others or the lack of with the characters makes both books an action adventure with sincere relationships that make each entity visible to the reader. I look forward to the final installment, DEAD FOREVER: RESONANCE."

--Teri Davis for Bestsellers World

A Nook reader said about Apotheosis: "An exploration of sanity -- 5 stars -- The book itself is something like Schrodinger's cat. God, humanity, other races and planets... all are conjecture until observed. Highly recommended, particularly if you're a fan of Douglas Adams."
