Ark and Covenant

The story that began with Jason's Ark continues in Ark and Covenant. This is the chronicle of the survival and recovery of the passengers and crew of a Trans Universal Airlines flight that was caught in a nuclear attack. Their personal story expands into the life and death struggle for the continued existence of the United States of America and, for that matter, the entire world.

Jason Caldwell and his loved ones must adjust to a new reality that was thrust upon them by religious fanatics from halfway round the world. They find that although their original enemies are no longer a danger, there are others that are just as fanatical and diabolical. Extremism is still rampant. It has only changed certain religious beliefs.

Superimposed on the problems of the country and the world are the problems of the Caldwell family. They must cope with the traditional problems of love, birth, and death while adjusting to these new problems that were brought on by the cataclysm.

Above all else this is a story of heroism, love, and hopefully forgiveness.
