ALMELEM is a biblical backstager, set in the first century C.E., about a small group of con artists and true disciples fumbling toward the greatest story ever told.

A human and an A.I on the first ever faster-than-light speed ship find themselves twice as far as they meant to go, with no fuel for a return flight. As they work together to solve the problem, they forge a friendship that could change the course of human history.

They call the crashed spaceship “The Ghosthouse” because it screams—the screams of thousands of extraterrestrial political prisoners trapped inside. The only way to free them is a transfer into humans willing to share their minds with a second consciousness forever. Who would volunteer for that?

Two vastly different worlds collide when an Amish boy becomes the sole witness to the murder of an undercover cop while visiting Philadelphia with his mother. The narcotics detective assigned to the case John Book vows to protect them and uncover the killer.

As Jack’s country descends into violence and authoritarianism, Jack himself plunges into his own parallel decline, a chilling abdication of everything he once valued.
