The Last Qumranian (Infinity Chronicles #1)
Time travel has been used to stop the birth of Christ, altering the timeline of human history.
Lukas is the last Qumranian, an ancient sect sworn to secrecy and to protect the prophecies that bind the worlds together. When they develop a powerful technology that can control time, their discovery attracts unwanted attention.
When the Unclean — a militant force powered by dark magic — attack the hidden Qumranian compound under what once was the Dead Sea, Lukas barely escapes. But at what cost? With his life intact, he finds himself a prisoner in an alternate timeline not his own.
Alone in a foreign landscape ravaged by wars, advanced by technology, oppressed by a corporation partnered with a ruthless religious group slaughtering any who oppose them in the streets, sinister supernatural forces, and an artifact that literally can — and has — changed human history, Lukas must not only struggle to stay alive, but locate the only thing that can prevent the Unclean and the powers that control them from destroying the world.
Will Lukas manage to retrieve the artifact before more damage is done to the timeline of history, or will he be too late, forever lost in a nightmarish alternate reality?

About The Author
Joe Basile
Joe Basile, the host of HISTORY Channel’s “The Jesus Strand: A Search for DNA” started simply as an Italian guy growing up in Chicago as the youngest of ten siblings. Much of his life was shaped by the death of his mom at a young age. He dropped out of high school and became a local rap artist.
As that evolved, his Christian friends' love and fearless sharing of the gospel, with confidence and no judgment, gravitated him to Christ. After he gave his life to Christ, he shifted to rapping about Jesus, but eventually felt called into ministry and currently served as a pastor.
Over his life, he's had the privilege to experience the fullness of loss and the revival that comes through the generous love of others. He lives in Clovis, CA, with his beautiful wife and their three precious children.
R. D. Perry –
Basile’s debut novel is impressive and consuming. I had hesitations about reading this novel but did so at the request of a dear friend. I was pleasantly surprised. It was shocking and thoughtful. Honestly difficult to put down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in alternate timelines, fantastic tales of cyberpunk like science and a plot twist that demands your attention. Normally I would expound on the storyline but honestly that would spoil a great read. Give this book a chance. You won’t regret it!
Larry Evans –
Typically, I don’t tend to write reviews. However, I was asked to give an honest review for an advance reading copy. For his first novel I was impressed. The characters come alive and jump off the pages. The plot is shocking, and I am honestly looking forward to the sequel. Set in a dystopian alternate future,The reader is invited to explore a desolate future that has one desperate hope left. This book has much to offer – time travel, action, science fiction with a historical twist that must be read to be believed. If you enjoy fantastic stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is it.
