Best-selling author Ken Abraham puts readers on the edge of their seats in the first book of a thrilling new series, The Prodigal Project

The planet is in political turmoil. Wars are being waged and where no fighting is taking place, there are rumors that there soon will be. Fear and uncertainty have the world in its grip, as death and destruction have become a way of life in many countries. Confusion and anarchy begin to reign as brutal terrorist groups destroy the lives of innocent people everywhere. Almost no one can imagine that things can get much worse. And then, the unthinkable happens.

Suddenly, and without warning, millions of people all around the world simply vanish, many right before the eyes of the astonished witnesses who are left to sort out the aftermath. Some families lose no one. In other cases, entire families disappear. But the most horrifying of all is that there are no children left, not even those who, moments before, were alive and growing in their mother’s womb.

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed forever and the chaos that follows is unmanageable. Those who have witnessed the disappearances are numb and left to wonder, “What has happened?” “Where are the people I care about?” And more importantly, “What do we do now?”

In The Prodigal Project, Ken Abraham – whose books, Let’s Roll! with Lisa Beamer, and Payne Stewart with Tracey Stewart, both earned spots on the New York Times’ bestseller list – and co-writer, Daniel Hart, bring readers part one of a gritty, realistic story about seven everyday people who set out separately to find the answers to those questions. Their search for hope and truth eventually leads them to believe that they may have found their salvation in Azul Dante, the charismatic leader of The Prodigal Project.
