Heart-pounding Christian Fiction! "BAR OF EXCELLENCE RAISED TO NEW HEIGHTS!" L.R. Burkard is back with the next tale in her dystopian series, and the bar of excellence is raised to new heights with this top quality literary offering! DEENA PETERSON, Blogger, Book Reviewer In this third installment of the PULSE EFFEX SERIES, foreign soldiers and fellow Americans gone rogue are just the beginning of what Andrea, Lexie, Sarah, and the other survivors must face. Under the threat of nuclear strikes and forced to battle guerrilla armies, the girls long for a free country in which to live and love. Survival means resistance must give way to defiance. But can ordinary teens and their families withstand powerful forces and keep hope alive? EDITORIAL REVIEW: Ms. Burkard is to be commended for her amazing storytelling - and for portraying how God strengthens his people and gives hope in the darkest hour. In Defiance, the riveting story continues with even greater urgency as the characters face ever-increasing challenges in their struggle to survive the aftermath of the EMP. Whether or not one agrees with the characters' choices and actions, this story will get readers squarely into the action. The series is a clarion call to be both spiritually and physically ready for whatever may come! Angela L. Walsh, Publisher and Editor Christian Library Journal "BURKARD DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!" Excellent writing, pure and simple! Warning: Do not begin this series if you have urgent things to attend to, because you WILL have difficulty putting it down!
