The Rise Kenneth E. Nowell

Angela Concepcion is rising to the heights of political power as this generation's celebrity politician. However, she will not get there on her own. Along the way, the ambitious Latin beauty has enlisted the aid of Dr. Huntington Cyst, the brilliant founder of Cyst Industries, a global corporate juggernaut with dominant positions in information technologies, advanced weaponry, biotechnology and media. His manipulative young apprentice, though, is cunning and devious beyond his years. Evan Thas envisions a world under his control, and his ruthless plan is so sinister prophets have warned against it. Only one man - a mysterious drifter named John Eben Malek - may know how to stop him. However, he has been accused of murder.

The Trials and Triumph Trilogy races around the world and through the centuries of the tumultuous history of Christianity. The riveting story is highly researched and eerily reflective of today's alarming global headlines.  The Rise is based on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and little-known prophecies of saints.
