Elliott Anderssen is a disturbed young boy with a dangerous psychic talent: when he gets angry, he can make your worst fears spring to life. His mother is a paranoid recluse who keeps him locked in his bedroom for days at a time. One night, in a fit of desperation, Elliott transforms their home into a fiery vision from Hell, drawing the militia’s attention. A frantic chase results in the detainment of Elliott in a maximum-security seclusion tank.
Elliott’s uncle Chuck is an operative working for the very institution that has imprisoned his nephew. Soon Chuck embarks on a moral roller-coaster ride, uncertain whether to protect his nephew or society. Elliott is reeling on the brink of despair when Chuck hires a band of renegade soldiers to smuggle him out of the Genetics Bureau.
After a tragic escape attempt, Chuck and Elliott board a skim-cruiser headed into a wasteland uncharted by man. Pursued by the military and an android stalker, their only hope is to reach a leper colony that may not exist. Assaulted by radiation, bizarre creatures, and a growing sense of dread, the band edges into the unknown. Shadowing every minor victory is the suspicion that Elliott cannot control his psychic ability, and is unconsciously using it against the people he loves the most.
Acolyte of Apocalypse is a futuristic book brimming with creativity, complex characters, and dark humor. It will appeal to fans of dystopian science fiction, action, and readers who enjoy being transported to a world that is a warped reflection of our own.
