Abaddyon Larry D Shackelford

Abaddyon is a fast-paced, Christian, apocalyptic urban fantasy/science fiction romance thriller that takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah and St. Louis, Missouri. On a sleepy Sunday morning, the local populations are oblivious to ominous events that have occurred on the other side of the globe. Sacred Biblical artifacts were stolen from a sacred shrine, and are about to unleash devastating effects on their future and the other surviving members on earth. FBI Special Agent Alan O'Brian, a recent transplant to Salt Lake City, is unwittingly thrust into a chaotic survival scene as the city suffers massive destruction and calamity. The chain of events are incomprehensible, but with the aid of a rookie FBI agent and a comical Lutheran pastor, Alan attempts to reconcile and resolve the devolving situation. Emily Cannon is a young housewife residing in a Northern suburb of Salt Lake City. Her perfect, protected life and religious commitment to the predominant religion is vanquished by the devastating earthquakes that rock the city. The earthquakes are not her only obstacles; her children have vanished, and the unfathomable seismic events have revealed hidden community secrets Emily could have never imagined. All hope seems lost when Abaddyon and his legion of angels surface from the depths of hell to claim the condemned souls of the survivors. Alan and his team of improbable characters must locate and consecrate the unprecedented artifacts in order to reverse the disaster. Battling nature's fury and formidable hellish creatures, their task is a daunting race against time, and individual spiritual awakenings.
