    The Utopian Testament Series

    By Jim Christopher

    ()

    About this series

    Hawk's life is a secret. Wanted for murder, he hides from the law on a marijuana plantation in the Texas hill country. The violence of his past pales against the depravities he endures on the farm: dangerous and miraculous secrets he must protect if he wants to survive.

    Then a cunning stranger arrives bearing a grudge from Hawk's past. The outsider unleashes his sinister preternatural ability in a frantic lunge for the farm's most innocent soul. As the bloody standoff erupts between the dark interloper and Hawk's motley family, the deepest shadows of the farm reveal themselves—death refusing the dead while the living struggle to survive.

    Betraying the farm's secrets will cost Hawk his freedom. Keeping them will cost the lives of those he loves. The choice that abandoned Hawk on the farm presses him once more: save himself, or save his family.

      Caleb Allard is dying. The banality of his legacy haunts him: a pointless career and two dysfunctional children estranged from one another.   Then a voice arrives.  Immense. Debilitating.  It fills Caleb's skull, promising the one thing Caleb wants more than anything else—a purpose for his miserable life. It tells him of a young boy with miraculous abilities living in the Texas hill country.    Find the boy, find your purpose.    The boy is hundreds of miles away, but it may as well be millions. In pain, racing death, Caleb must navigate the tumultuous relationship between his unreliable, drug-addicted son and his obsessive, protective daughter to reach the boy before it's too late.   Hard choices must be made.  And Caleb will learn that every choice has consequences. Not just for him. For his children. And for everyone and everything in the universe.    Because the price of Caleb's purpose is more than he can pay on his own.   Finalist in the 2020 American Fiction Awards for Psychological Thrillers

      Okay, I can do this. One problem at a time. That's how this is going to work. Do the thing in front of me, then move on to the next. I'll figure it out, like I always do. I have to, or Dad's life is over. I mean, turning drugs into cash isn't exactly new to me. I've done this hundreds of times. But all I've got to work with is pressed luck and borrowed time. San Antonio is smelling out my weakness, a city-sized predator toying with prey. The cops are raking the earth to find me, and to the wrong person, I'm worth more than this stash of opiates I'm holding. I need a connection. Someone I can trust long enough for one simple transaction. Dad's going to die if I can't find them. One buyer, that's all I need. Then I can work out how to cover the hundred miles back to Dad before he wakes up and realizes I'm gone.   Read this tense novella set in the award-winning Utopian Testament universe.
