State of Emergency (Lockdown)

“Recently I was kidnapped by a rogue Special Forces unit and confined to one room in a mansion. I was a nobody... an out of shape loser but I made it my mission to escape that room and the mansion. Considering I had no skills or fitness, that was a slow process. I started going crazy. No, I didn’t slap clown makeup on my face and start laughing like a maniac, but in some ways, maybe that would have been better. It is one thing to lose your sanity, it is another to live on the very edge of it. I started having full blown conversations with invisible friends. One of those friends wasn’t imaginary and I still don’t know what she is (angel... vision?) but she was that life raft that kept me from drowning. I went on escape the mansion, and in the process, saved New York City from becoming a nuclear mushroom cloud.

I was a hero, right? There was a problem. The leader that was their target was the Biblical Antichrist and I’m in this thing called “The Tribulation Period.” Worse... he wanted NY City nuked and so I kind of stopped him, while I was stopping his enemies... it kind of hurts my head to think about it. I got a free trip to reeducation camp for my efforts but my trip was interrupted... by a war!

I’ve escaped a madman with an army holding me in a mansion (these are the events in book one Lockdown) to a world run by a demon possessed madman with a much bigger army. Worse, I’m on the run with the Witch who used to be my enemy... but now claims to be a Christian. She tried to help nuke New York City and tortured my girlfriend... oh, and she almost got my mother killed, but now we’re both part of the family of God. So, it’s all good... I guess.

Being in a war zone is bad enough, but when both sides decide you are the bad guy... that is not good! My enemies have a new name for me... Hostile. Probably not the best nickname for a Christian, like I said, I am really new at this stuff.

All I have to do now is escape the warzone, rescue my mom and girlfriend from the leader of the entire world, and then find a place to hide he can’t get us... like Antarctica? Yeah, that seems really unlikely, doesn’t it?”
