The Light Shining in Darkness

The Light Shining in Darkness

It is the year 2023…

Global darkness reigns over mankind. A battle between the forces of good and evil is waged before our very eyes.

A political war, a spiritual war, a secret war. What was once science-fiction is now science-fact. A planetary awakening ensues to make light of this dark, in the attempt to avert our planet from becoming a fabled, post-apocalyptic wasteland riddled with fallout and slavery. New heroes emerge.

BEHOLD! There is another light in the dark…
