When his daughter is kidnapped, Lafitte is confronted with a past he thought died a long time ago. However, what hasn't caught you, hasn't passed you. And what comes for Lafitte may be way more than he or the forces behind him can handle as he fights the demons (literally demons) from his past.˃˃˃ Accolades for One BloodKirkus Review's Best of 2012Winner of the Foreword Reviews Book of the Year AwardWinner of two 2012 International Book AwardsWinner of a 2012 Global eBook AwardWinner of a 2012 Indie Reader Discovery AwardWinner of a 2012 National Indie Excellence Book AwardFinalist in the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Awards2012 Reader's Favorite Book Awards Silver Medal and FinalistSemi-Finalist in the Kindle Book Review Best Indie Books of 2012 Awards

    . .There will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars. . .Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:25a, 28It is rare that Scripture, science, and history align with each other, yet the last three series of Four Blood Moons have done exactly that.

    The author writes of an encounter they had with a being called 'Tal' who looked human but claimed to be an alien. The author believes that this person was in fact an alien due to the content of their conversation and the events that lead to and followed it. The author requested we divulge no information about the book that could influence the first reading of it. We will reveal, however, that in the conversation, Tal attempts to show the author how a far more advanced life form would observe and function in the universe. Tal does not describe a technological superiority, but an actual perceptual and physical difference that leads to a fundamentally greater understanding of the world. The conversation covers many topics; including time, the perception of extra dimensions, quantum theory, infinity, and consciousness. Tal uses examples from modern scientific theory, ancient religions, alien worlds and even chess. The author wished to publish this book because they felt that this encounter dramatically changed their life.
