Coming February 2025
October, 2007. Joshua Christiansen thinks he’s just an ordinary teen, ready to graduate high school and infatuated with his best friend Rachel…until Agent Samson shows up and tells him who he really is. Now, while dodging ruthless zealots and evading government plots, he must test the limits of his mind and body as he seeks the truth about himself. Was he truly cloned from the blood of a Eucharistic miracle? Does he really have the power to trigger the End of Days? Or will he be killed, captured, or brainwashed by one of the many people who want to use him for their own ends before he can learn the truth?
Praise for Incarnate
“With Incarnate, Antony Barone Kolenc has managed to create a narrative of profound theological meaning while at the same telling a genuinely enjoyable story. The more I read, the more the pieces fell in place and it became simultaneously less and more fantastic.” Father Michael Rennier, author of The Forgotten Language: How Recovering the Poetics of the Mass Will Change Our Lives
“Incarnate rejects the easy “chosen one” storyline for a troubling, fascinating premise and a journey that challenges protagonist and reader alike. The economical prose complements the fleshed-out, fast-moving narrative, and the characters move believably through a landscape that is engagingly bizarre. With a genuinely shocking climax that spins us off into an uncertain future, Kolenc’s Incarnate is not one to miss!” —Jamey Toner, author of Whisper Music
