Résumé :
For Aric Afton, the campus culture becomes increasingly hostile, and an incident threatens his future. But have his accusers gone too far? Adam Afton wants to feel right at home . . . in more ways than one. Although reunited with his family, he realizes that his life is missing an old friend. As the world spins into increasing craziness, the old saying, Be careful what you pray for has never been truer. From record drought to record rains and snow, southern California now faces its ultimate challenge. And they say that as California goes, so goes the nation. Yet, as Los Angeles goes dark and a new threat arises, a miracle proves that God is still in control....

Biographie:
Braxton can't lay claim to wanting to be a writer all his life, although his mother and seventh grade English teacher were convinced he had what it would take. A bachelor's degree in Bio-Medical Engineering led to medical school and a residency in Emergency Medicine. He served for a decade in the U.S. Army Medical Corps with tours such as the Chief, Emergency Medical Services at Fort Campbell, KY, and as a research Flight Surgeon at Fort Rucker, AL. Who had time to write?By the 1990s, as a civilian, his professional and family life had settled down, somewhat, and his mother once again took up her mantra, Write a book. You're a good writer. In 1997, a Valentine's Day writing contest convinced him that maybe he could write fiction. He spent the next fifteen years learning the craft of writing. Now, twenty-plus years after that first hesitant start, he has sixteen novels published, as well as non-fiction books and a children's book, and can't find enough time to write. As a Christian, he writes true-life Christian fiction (suspense and thrillers) that many call cutting edge, as he's not afraid to take on such issues as human trafficking, racism, and more. His characters are real-life as well, with all the flaws and blemishes real people have. As such, his books are never likely to gain acceptance by the Christian Bookseller Association. But then, he never intended to tell stories just to the choir....
