The compelling first novel in the ADAM KINDE Alternate Future Mysteries series. 2421 AD-300 years after the second coming of Joshua. Pastor Adam Kinde has only ever wanted three things: to do what's right, to serve his parish, and to understand his world. Until Beth Raven walks into his life. He can't figure her out. He's never before met an atheist or heard of any religion other than his own. A romance with a heretic should be out of the question. Then the dead body shows up in Adam's living room. He's a pastor, not a detective, and a murder investigation is no place for an amateur. But when his servant and lifelong friend is arrested Adam joins Beth on a journey that uncovers a dark reality under the serene surface of his world. If you like alternate future worlds, sci-fi, or a good mystery, you want to read The Human .
