The Faithwalker's Return: Book Three of the Latter Rain Chronicles — Clifton Gilliam

Lawson Steele has already faced the death of his closest friends at the hands of his nemesis, Proteus. But, like the Phoenix that is reborn, Lawson returns from the ashes of defeat in order to begin his challenge once more. Will he survive the confrontation or will his final destiny continue to be rooted in Proteus's mysterious plans?

Most of Earth's population has been enthralled and worships Proteus as a “god.” Lawson joins a rebel colony of outcast Christians in order to overthrow Proteus's reign and renew the evangelical spirit now lost in the 24th century. With the fate of the world's salvation hanging in the balance, only The Faithwalker's Return can bring hope to the future; but, will his feet remain grounded in his new faith or will the winds of vengeance push him over the edge?
