Rafael Ward - Books on Google Play

In the Citizen's Republic of America, religion is outlawed. Historian Rafael Ward is a good citizen, teaching students the government approved narrative of the nation's history. But when he is tasked by Relic Enforcement Command with destroying the artifacts he cherishes, he begins to question the regime's motives and soon finds himself caught up in a secret revolution. It will take the uncompromising faith of an outlaw Believer as an ally, and the acceptance of his guilt for his mother's death, to help Ward break free of the government's yoke. If he's lucky, he might also prevent an apocalyptic future for which his secular world is completely unprepared.

In Tomorrow’s America, The Tower Terrorist is the New Enemy…

It's two years since Rafael Ward walked into the Tower with a backpack full of explosives. Two years since he destroyed REC headquarters and became the most hated man in the Republic. He's a fugitive, haunted by the lives he's taken, trying to find anonymity in the remote towns of the Western Districts. He’s content to drink himself into oblivion.

Everything changes when a teenage girl named Sam recognizes him outside a liquor store. Now everyone is after Sam. The police want to arrest her. The REC want to black bag her. Even MacKenzie and her new allies will do anything to find out what she knows. Unwilling to have any more innocent blood on his hands, Ward tries to help Sam escape the country. To get her to safety, however, he may have to sacrifice MacKenzie’s rebellion. He may even have to sacrifice his soul.

In tomorrow’s America, the children are the new enemy…

The revolution has begun. The Republic is in turmoil. Meanwhile, seven thousand miles away, Rafael Ward is teaching again. Granted, he’s a prisoner in a secret desert fortress, and Sam is still in a coma, but for the first time in years, he’s almost content. Until Sam’s doctor, Rivka, reveals the key to Sam’s recovery can be found in the lost tomb of Hannibal Barca.

Together, Ward and Rivka engineer a daring escape, only to find themselves in a race against time, and a mysterious assassin, to unearth Hannibal’s secrets. What they discover in the tomb will determine more than Sam’s fate. It will influence the future of MacKenzie’s revolution, as well as her relationship with the Seer. It may even lead to all-out war between the gods.
