The King's Highway by Caryl McAdoo

Book One THE KING’S HIGHWAY debuted October 10, 2015.  When airplanes start falling out of the sky, the care and safety of his younger siblings fall solely to fifteen-year-old Jackson Allison. Unaware of what’s happened to render all things electric useless, he is fiercely determined to keep his thirteen-year-old sister McKenzie and nine-year-old brother Cooper safe–that means leaving the relative safety of their Irving apartment in the suburb closest to the DFW Airport to travel on foot over 150 miles northeast to their grandparents home in Honey Grove.


The Sixth Trumpet by Caryl McAdoo

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Revelation 9:15

The sixth trumpet has sounded. The world is at war.

Compelled by a night terror, Jackson leaves the relative safety of Red River County on a quest to rescue his missing mother. He plans a quick dash to retrieve her from bondage in Rockwall, but he is thwarted by others who need rescuing at every turn. Big girls, little girls, a medium-size boy, the smartest kid he’s ever known, and one giant dog comprise his army. If there is a God in Heaven, is He really watching out for him? Fifteen-year-old Jackson still hasn’t decided.


The Kidron Valley by Caryl McAdoo

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle.

As evil heightens all over the world, Jackson, his best friend Al, and his girlfriend Aria learn to live in their new world, fighting off those who would kill, steal, and destroy those in Red River County. The story is one of survival under the guidance of Uncle Roy and his brother and God’s Words of Wisdom. No one discounts the Great Pyrenees Boggs’ part either. Though Jackson still holds fast to his agnostic beliefs, God keeps making it harder for him to deny His existence and the sacrifice of His Son. Will he finally believe?
