| When Man Has Fallen
| | Preston K. Bullard
| Only in the darkest of pits do lights shine their very brightest... When Man Has Fallen is not a series about war. It is not a series about death. It is not, even as the cover suggests, about bloodshed. These elements are present, yes... But this book, this series, goes deeper than that.
This book is a book about the human condition. The depths of the human heart. It is a book about friendship. Loyalty. Family. And the sacrifices that sometimes come along side those most precious of things.
Set against the backdrop of an alternative world, where a hostile alien race touched down on the much debated December 21st, 2012, When Man Has Fallen centers around a young man by the name of Silas Hunter Stone. He's nothing special. He likes soccer and hockey, doesn't care for football, stays out of the mainstream crowd. He's not a model, he's not a charity case, he's not rich, he's not a genius. He is in every way average...
Suddenly thrust into the role and shoes of a hero, he is forced to take up the mantle and hardships of a warrior and protector, in a world he no longer understands, battling an enemy that terrifies him.
See, Silas isn't a hero. He never wanted to be. He never intended to be. He simply wants to survive. Just like the rest of us.
You will follow him through adventure and depravity. Faith and doubt, hope and fear. You will feel his sorrow, anger and pain as he comes to terms with what has happened to his world... Our world... You'll feel his anguish as he loses everything he cares about, as he struggles to survive.
But you will also cheer for his hope, his determination, his fierce nature and his sheer will to keep moving forward. In Silas, you will find the best and worst of mankind. You will see reasons why we should be exterminated... You will find reasons to believe in the best of us.
The point of this book is not to underline war, but love.
Because only in the darkest of pits do lights shine their very brightest... And our greatest of heroes can only ever emerge... WHEN MAN HAS FALLEN.
