Twenty years have passed since the Meridia Virus ravaged America. Cities have burned and civilization has crumbled. One hundred million have died, leaving behind a suspicious, selfish populace in small settlements across the scarred landscape.
But out of the charred ruins of San Diego, Levi Caspertein emerges. For twenty years, he’s grown up in the shadow of his heroic father, Titus. Now, Levi must respond on his own to a disturbing communication he receives from New York. An old friend, Jenna Dowler, is in trouble.
With bold faith, Levi sets off on foot to the east, crossing desert wasteland into the Plains Zone where travelers are sooner shot than welcomed. Behind him, a rogue military general—who wants COIL’s stockpiled weaponry—is chasing him. But Levi won’t be hindered unnecessarily from his trek east, even with his mother and cousin in tow, and he stands courageously for Jesus Christ.
At every town and resupply stop, Levi is thrust into fresh misery, violence, and strife. Each person who joins him is put at risk, but every enemy who stands against him must look down his barrel of determination to care first for the afflicted. He is a Caspertein. He is a Christian. And America desperately needs a symbol of hope—a new dawn—in her smoking ruin.

DAWN OF OPPRESSION by D.I. TELBAT is Book Two of the LAST DAWN SERIES, a Christian Post-apocalyptic, End Times Novel.
Twenty-one years after the collapse of America, the land has fallen to the evil Appalachian Federation, based in NYC. Christians who refuse to comply with new religious policies are arrested and executed. Chancellor Obrador, leader of the Federation, expects no one to challenge his harsh treatment of so many undesirables. Except he’s made one terrible mistake: COIL has infiltrated his administration, and their new strategist is someone he least expects.
COIL rises from the ashes in this second book of the Last Dawn Series. In the shadows of New York City, Corban Dowler applies his tradecraft now as an aging man. Although he seems to be working alone to protect hundreds of Christians across the region, God provides unlikely allies to work beside him. And one of those allies is at the top of the ruthless government.
Brian Steelman has returned from the West to face his past within the Federation. He has hunted and captured more Christians for the government than any other, and the chancellor will do anything to put his top killer back into action. But an underground revolt must be squashed before it spreads further. The leading culprit is a mysterious woman whose code name is Radiant Shade, and the chancellor wants her dead!
Heartbreak and anguish plague the land, but where God’s people refuse to be silenced, His light shines. Corban Dowler is one of those lights, beside his blind daughter, Jenna, who bears a secret that could cost them their lives. Through examples of self-sacrifice and coded communications, the elite COIL operatives understand that though they are isolated from one another, they are united by their Savior, Jesus Christ. There is little hope for believers across the country, unless COIL’s next generation of agents stands against an enemy the likes of which the land has never seen before. Operation Esther may be their only hope . . .

Violence and subjection dawns across America in her last days as the New Federation flexes its muscle under a new administration. Under COIL leadership, Christian refugees flee for their lives toward the West, as killers have been tasked to hunt them down.
In this new age of unrest and persecution, Levi Caspertein exchanges caution for mercy to care for an injured enemy who has lost all hope in living. Jenna Dowler and Chen Li are kidnapped by human traffickers, but their faith in God’s providence lifts their resolve to serve rather than strive. It seems unlikely that Nathan Isaacson will be able to rescue his wife and the blind woman before they are sold or killed.
Meanwhile, Rex Caspertein grits his teeth in determination, buries the dead, and leads the refugees toward the setting sun. Hunger, thirst, and fear threaten his humble band of Christian families, and although he can identify the armed convoy chasing them, he can only suspect the sedition within his own party.
As Book Three of the Last Dawn Series erupts in loss, heartache, and weariness, God’s people set aside their own wounds to patiently care for the lost around them. The sun seems to set on any hope for the future, while the dawn of subjection rises behind them. And yet, there is love, even in the midst of sorrow . . .
