The Last Missioner, by John Paul Russo OFM Cap

Faith, courage, and sacrifice converge in a far-future world on the edge of darkness.

John Micah Leers XIV was born into a utopia of unceasing light, a boy raised within the rituals and discipline of the Juran people. But when famine and rebellion threaten his world, he is called to leave the only life he has ever known. Guided by the enigmatic Orlen and his golden eagle, John Micah must journey into the uncharted dark side of the globe, where his powers of light falter and mystery and menace reign.

Pursued by Satan himself and a team of shadowy conspirators, John Micah’s path continually tests his faith and his endurance. With the support of a ragtag crew, he ultimately comes to discover the true heart of his mission in an act borne of trustful obedience and stalwart self-denial.

The Last Missioner is a scriptural fantasy of adventure and redemption, blending theological depth, imaginative worldbuilding, and pulse-pounding suspense to explore the cost of faith and the power of grace.
