Rekindle Me

About the Book

Rekindle Me is a novel set far in the future, in a world where holovisions, augreals, artificial intelligence, self-driven cars, interplanetary travel and interstellar communication, and other notable technological developments are all part of a normal day. The protagonist, Tommy Russell, experiences a near-constant state of anxiety as his devoutly Christian beliefs are challenged by a society with declining morals, excess materialism, and an unchecked reliance on technology that, in Tommy’s eyes, belies a complete lack of the ability for mankind to love. While Tommy struggles to find the answer to a key question from his inquisitive young daughter, an ambitious and secretive government program called The Mantle Project is announced, aiming to flip the planet’s mantle upside down to harvest essential resources like oil and minerals. Despite the risk of failure of the project, the antagonist, Dr. Jonathan Bailey, still forges ahead with the execution of the project. With only a month to its full implementation, massive earthquakes begin to fracture the planet, killing billions and nearly cleaving it into two pieces precariously close to breaking completely apart. With the Earth’s mantle shattering, gravity growing weaker, and millions evacuating to Yahire, an angel planet in the solar system, Tommy realizes he is in a race against time to save humanity and to fulfill his promise to God. Tommy decides to look for a hermit who can provide him with answers to some vital questions and, most importantly, intercede with God on behalf of humanity, and he is helped along the way by a repentant and remorseful Dr. Jonathan Bailey, who is equally making a last-ditch effort to save the planet. Will Tommy find the hermit, and can he save planet Earth from imminent destruction? Please read on!
