📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Jack J Lee's second book tracks human cults rising after a zombie war in Salt Lake City.

Lee continues his Sustainable Earth series by shifting focus from external monsters to internal human conflict. The survivors in Salt Lake City have stabilized their situation regarding undead threats, but this stability is short-lived. A new prophet emerges among the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, leveraging their long-standing preparation for the End of Days. This religious group initiates a Holy War, proving that human fanaticism poses a greater danger than the supernatural creatures they previously fought. The narrative examines how insanity and faith intersect in times of crisis, suggesting that those willing to break social norms hold an advantage. Lee uses the specific context of US Mountain States cults to create a realistic backdrop for this theological warfare. The story does not offer easy resolutions but instead details the escalating tension between secular survivors and religious zealots.

📝 Description: Death by Revelation: Book II of the Sustainable Earth Series

Jack J Lee presents the second installment of his Sustainable Earth series, focusing on the aftermath of a supernatural crisis in Salt Lake City. The narrative follows survivors who have managed to contain a zombie and vampire infestation, only to face a new threat from human factions. Lee draws on the tradition of religious cults in the US Mountain States, specifically examining the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints. The plot centers on a new prophet who has risen to power, triggering a Holy War that challenges the fragile peace. The story explores the idea that insanity can be an advantage during an apocalypse. It highlights how prepared groups waited for the End of Days, turning religious fervor into a tangible danger for the remaining population. Lee qualifies his work by grounding supernatural elements in real-world sectarian history, offering a gritty look at post-apocalyptic survival where human malice rivals monstrous threats. This book suits readers interested in urban fantasy blended with theological horror and political intrigue. It may not appeal to those seeking lighthearted adventure or purely scientific sci-fi. The author structures the conflict around the clash between the controlled survivors and the fanatical new order. By focusing on the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, Lee uses specific religious traditions to drive the narrative tension. The setting remains rooted in the American West, emphasizing the isolation and intensity of the Mountain States region. The prose avoids romanticizing the violence, instead presenting the Holy War as a direct consequence of historical religious preparation.
