The Ring of Truth by Aaron Ryan

This is the description for my Christian dystopian fiction series, "The End."

When Constantine Jedidiah Goodfellow shot up through the senate, people were all-too surprised and delighted to see someone in the prime of life wanting to heal wounds, bring people together, and bring peace, so they elected him President.

His aim, however, was to bring the exact opposite.

The year is 2113, and Christianity is under siege.  A massive virus has torn across the planet and killed off half of the world’s population and its leaders.  Goodfellow, having changed his name to “Nero” in honor of the Roman emperor, has declared himself de facto leader over the remainder of mankind, and commenced the eradication of Christianity.

In a small community outside Chicago, Illinois, eighteen year old Sage Maddox is endowed with wisdom and street smarts well beyond his years.  Though his entire family has been killed off by “Guardians” – deceptively-named and ruthless killing machines dispatched by Nero – he is determined to do his part to bring much-needed justice and restore safety to Christians throughout the world.  There’s just one thing…

Nero is waiting for him.

Bestselling author of the Dissonance alien invasion saga and the sci-fi thriller Forecast, Aaron Ryan presents the first installment in a new riveting post-apocalyptic Christian fiction series.  The End will leave your heart pounding and take you on a thrill ride of epic proportions as you fight to survive along with Maddox and the rest of humanity.

Forecast - 9/11 Historical Fiction Thriller by Aaron Ryan

This is the description for my Alien Invasion Hexalogy, "Dissonance," the first of which has been adapted for the screen and is being pitched to streaming networks!

Sergeant Cameron “Jet” Shipley was only six years old when the aliens silently drifted down through the skies in 2026. Now, 16 years later, will humanity finally find a way to fight back? Or will mankind be reduced to food?

Terror lurks around every corner, and the rules of survival are simple: stay quiet, move quickly, and don't ever look. It's 2042, and 85% of humanity has been annihilated by "gorgons:" horrific aliens with the ability to telepathically paralyze and brutalize their prey. Mostly impervious and nearly impossible to kill, the best defense against them is to run. Brothers Jet and Rutty are part of a military blockade in Clarksville, Tennessee that provides shelter, training, and solace to those willing to fight back.

But when a new recruit joins their ranks and reveals a secret that could change everything, Jet is faced with a difficult decision: follow orders or fight for the truth. As the brothers navigate through a dangerous world filled with gorgons and treachery, they must confront the ultimate question - who can they trust?
