Have you been to Jekyll Island?

Jekyll Island - Crane Collatge - SIzed

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.

When Pope John Paul III saw the signs—hatred of Christians, targeted attacks on faith, alliances formed in the shadows—he didn’t call a council. He called warriors. Gideon’s Sword is more than a Vatican op. It’s a lifeline to the Church in America. And Micah Miller—fallen, broken, lethal—is their tip of the spear. There’s no pulpit for what’s coming. Only battlefields. THE FALLEN — Read it before your church burns.

He served God. Then he served man. Now he serves justice.
Micah Miller was a soldier.
Then a priest.
Then, a husband who buried the woman he loved.
Now?
He’s something else entirely.
-Trained by the 75th Ranger Regiment.
-Forged in the crucible of loss.
-Skills perfected on the violent streets of Haiti
-Recruited by the Vatican to fight a war America won’t even admit exists.
They tried to erase the truth.
They tried to burn down the faith.
But they didn’t count on Micah.
Now he leads a covert team into the heart of American darkness—where child mutilation is praised, churches burn in silence, and powerful men hunt the innocent.
THE FALLEN isn’t just a thriller. It’s a warning shot.

President Bearden didn’t steal the White House. He bought it—with the souls of men too weak to say no. Now the puppet masters are pulling strings from behind the curtain, and the last obstacle standing in their way? A fallen priest with a guilty conscience and a Mossad agent who doesn’t forgive. When truth becomes treason, who will you trust? THE FALLEN — Read it before they bury it.

Micah Miller never wanted redemption. Not after burying his wife. Not after walking away from the priesthood. But when the Pope himself calls, you answer.
Now he’s on a mission that will shatter everything he thought he knew—about his Church, his country, and the war being waged behind closed doors.
If you think this is just fiction, think again.
The war on faith has already begun.
Read the book, they’ll say it’s too dangerous to publish.
