Catacomb Network
He was trained to track patterns and close nets. She was trained to keep a nation safe by any means. When Michael Carter refuses to hunt the church, his defection sparks a quiet war with Director Elaine Voss, the unflinching face of the new order. What follows is a relentless chase through an America that feels familiar and suddenly foreign: safe houses, whispers, and songs in the dark. As the Catacomb Network fractures and reforms, Michael must decide whether his worldly skills and spiritual fight can live as one. The Catacomb Network is a tense, compassionate thriller about truth in the open, mercy with accountability, and the stubborn endurance of faith.

Reviews on Catacomb
I found this book to be very intriguing! The characters are well-developed, and their personalities came shining through...whether dastardly or humble. I also learned things about how to navigate this world, and I used a number of the "admonitions" as a devotional for our Bible study group. This book made a clear distinction between having a Biblical worldview or having a governmental worldview. I just really enjoyed the story, and took to heart the lessons that the character of Michael Carter was having to learn. This could/should be a cautionary tale...

Wow! This book kept my attention all the way through! The imagery of what the characters were going through kept me trying to guess how they would win the next battle. I’m amazed at the authors imagination and his ability to put that into words. Definitely worth your time.

This book is aimed at people of faith and is an allegorical story of faith against the persecution from a secular state. The problem is that the author didn't put in the work to lay the fountains for his story. Any fiction requires some suspension of disbelief, but the plot holes and logical inconsistencies are too much for faith alone to paper over. Two examples are that organized religion does not appear to be restricted by the State but this Catacomb Network is the primary target, although no real reason for that is ever provided. At one point, the cult of personality leadersip of the main character is referenced to justify the action, but the persecution precedes his own involvement in the loose organization. Another logical hole is all the spycraft that seems out of proportion to what it's applied to. Everything is couched like this is some super subversive group that doesn't seem to have any problem practicing their faith but still feel like they need the drama. I really tried to hang with this but my faith in the author was not great enough.
