Cool Facts in THE FALLEN
Behind every chapter of THE FALLEN lies a foundation of real places, real power, and real-world tensions—where faith, politics, and secrecy collide.
From hidden meetings that reshaped global finance to sacred ground that has quietly influenced history, THE FALLEN blurs the line between fact and fiction—pulling readers into a world where what actually happened is often more unsettling than what’s imagined.
Some stories are born from imagination.
This one is rooted in history.
Today’s real-world detail: Jekyll Island was a Real Power Center for America’s Financial Elite.
In THE FALLEN, Micah’s team surveils Erikson at Jekyll Island Club, a setting chosen deliberately.
Real fact: Jekyll Island was where America’s wealthiest families—the Morgans, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Pulitzers, and others—met secretly in 1910 to plan the Federal Reserve’s creation behind closed doors. At one point, the club’s members controlled over 1/6 of the world’s wealth. If you weren’t invited, you simply didn’t go.
Why hooks readers: They realize the location has a real history of elite secrecy and nation-shaping decisions, making the novel’s conspiracy feel disturbingly plausible.
