Written several years before COVID-19, the Monster of the Apocalypse trilogy contains eerily similar coincidences to the coronavirus pandemic. Are these books foretelling the future, or is it just serendipity? Time will tell.Centuries have passed, and the plague-emptied civilization of the mid-twenty-third century bears a striking resemblance to that of the mid-1800s. Communities and industries are once again vying for power and resources. A young man, Edge, newly displaced from his future, must regain his position in order to succeed. His opportunity? A long shot chance, offered by a man he trusts, to join a trading party into the interior of the once-great nation. The dangers of the trek and a young woman, Jody, newly orphaned, tempt both failure and unusual reward. Together Edge and Jody bring to light the truth of the past, their ancestor's defeat at the hands of power, and provide a path to bring back an entity meant to remain forever hidden.
