DAWN OF AFFLICTION: America's Last Days by D.I. TELBAT is Book One of the LAST DAWN SERIES, a Christian Post-apocalyptic, End Times Novel. This book is also the 2019 GOLD MEDAL WINNER in the Christian Thriller Category of the Readers' Favorite Book Awards.

Twenty years have passed since the Meridia Virus ravaged America. Cities have burned and civilization has crumbled. One hundred million have died, leaving behind a suspicious, selfish populace in small settlements across the scarred landscape.

But out of the charred ruins of San Diego, Levi Caspertein emerges. For twenty years, he's grown up in the shadow of his heroic father, Titus. Now, Levi must respond on his own to a disturbing communication he receives from New York. An old friend, Jenna Dowler, is in trouble.

With bold faith, Levi sets off on foot to the east, crossing desert wasteland into the Plains Zone where travelers are sooner shot than welcomed. Behind him, a rogue military general-who wants COIL's stockpiled weaponry-is chasing him. But Levi won't be hindered unnecessarily from his trek east, even with his mother and cousin in tow, and he stands courageously for Jesus Christ.

At every town and resupply stop, Levi is thrust into fresh misery, violence, and strife. Each person who joins him is put at risk, but every enemy who stands against him must look down his barrel of determination to care first for the afflicted. He is a Caspertein. He is a Christian. And America desperately needs a symbol of hope-a new dawn-in her smoking ruin.

In America's Last Days, only the steadfast will survive! Dawn of Affliction, a 123,000-word novel, is followed by Book Two, Dawn of Oppression.
