A post-apocalyptic thriller, Dead Souls Awakening, answers a crucial question for many believers: Where was the Messiah during the three days when his body lay in a tomb before the Resurrection? Summoned back to earth by humans, the Messiah stands before the Last Judgment, where He is the accused-not outside the gates of Jerusalem but in a courtroom in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The novel features dynamic characters, fast-paced action, and contemporary relevance. The current pandemic and the major socio-political changes in the US since 2019 are all interwoven.
Author Alexander Suslov has lived in Europe and the United States, including Las Vegas, where much of his latest book takes place. A graduate of Georgetown University, he currently lives in the south of France, where he is working on the second installment of DEAD SOULS AWAKENING. He also draws from his childhood experience in the then-Soviet Union. He notes: "Growing up on the 'wrong' side of the Iron Curtain, I personally witnessed life in an authoritarian state where basic human rights were suppressed in the name of state security." Like dystopian classics 1984 and A Clockwork Orange, this is a warning about how quickly history can repeat itself anywhere in the world at any time.
