Neophyte - Rachel Newhouse

Thursday, September 17th, 2076. Operation Blue Fire begins, igniting the war to overthrow the cruel United. And Philadelphia Smyrna, the revolution’s leader, is missing in action.

After striking a backdoor deal with United leadership to get Philadelphia off planet, Dr. Nic stays on Earth to lead the revolution in her place. But without Blue Fire, the resistance struggles to ignite. To make matters worse, Nic disagrees with Jael, a powerful unassimilated leader, about how the war should be fought.

When Jael leaves one of their allies for dead, Nic stages a bold rescue in Philadelphia’s name. But the escape backfires, and the government regains control. Now the unassimilated are losing the war, and there’s only one person who can turn the tides. Faced with the end of the world, Nic must decide whether to sacrifice the one person he loves-or protect his daughter and let the government win.

Neophyte is the tenth book in the RED RAIN series, a fast-paced Christian sci-fi adventure for middle grade and young adult readers.
