Nexus Dei (eBook)

Elias got everything he ever wanted. That's when he knew he was in hell.

After an accident and a two-year coma, agnostic engineer Elias awakens to find his family alive and a world finally at peace. Grateful for his recovery, he even finds himself open to faith, a spiritual transformation that would have been impossible before.

But as perfect happiness begins to feel like a prison, a mysterious priest warns him of a terrible truth: This isn't the real world at all. His family are beautiful lies, AI constructs designed to make him happy while the world recovers from nuclear fallout.

But where is his real family? Did they survive the accident that put him in a coma? Are they out there somewhere in a war-torn reality?

Now, Elias faces an impossible choice: remain in blissful deception with the artificial souls he's grown to love, or risk everything in an unlikely hope that his real family is still alive. But if he's unplugged, he might not wake up at all.

To save those he loves, he must first be willing to die.

Sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go of a beautiful lie.
