A VISIONARY AND AMBITIOUS JOURNEY THAT EXPLORES THEMES OF REDEMPTION, IDENTITY, AND PURPOSE IN A UNIQUE AFTERLIFE SETTING

Thomas Jefferson Stoneshield VII, a WW2 soldier from a long line of warriors, dies while storming the beaches of Normandy. He ascends to a peculiar afterlife and becomes embroiled in a struggle between two godlike beings, with the future of all existence at stake. Along the way, he confronts haunting echoes of his past life, his own repressed desires, and the power of unyielding faith and despair.

“Godless Armageddon” is a visionary and ambitious journey that defies traditional storytelling to deliver a profound and imaginative exploration of the afterlife.” - Damir Salkovic, author of Collapse Years

From the author: “Godless Armageddon reflects my experience as a bisexual man in a society where bisexual men weren't supposed to exist. It also reflects my experience as an atheist in the US Army.”
