Mechanical Jesus

Sometimes the world has to end before the beginning can begin. For the Seventeen families who've divided up the world, that means trying to stave off the one enemy that no one has overcome...yet. For the Remnant of the slaughtered masses, that means hoping and praying for one miracle to tip the scale in their favor. And for Jonathon 2212, its a journey from murder to mind control, a choice between conformity and confrontation...and the only friend he has left, who's not quite what he seems to be, by any stretch of an overworked imagination... A Utopian nightmare, the lines between good and evil smeared into moralistic abstractions, and at the center of it all is a creation of Man with the power of God changing all the rules of this twisted, insane game.
