Description
Cole and Eva are reunited once more. A new terror looms as Mihko Laboratories latest human experiments are about to be unleashed. Cole is on the long road to recovery, but he’s still struggling with survivor’s guilt. He must stay focused as he, Eva, and their friends prepare for the final showdown with Mihko.
After the events of Version Control, Brady’s mind is fractured, and he can’t distinguish between what really happened and what Mikho made him believe. Eva and Cole may have to face this terrifying threat without him. It’s a grim prospect, but a new discovery might just change everything: God Flare.
Will Brady recover enough to join the fight? Can Cole come to terms with his abilities in spite of his PTSD? And will God Flare help even the odds against Mihko?
God Flare is the latest volume in the Reckoner Rises series from best-selling author David A. Robertson.

Editorial Reviews
God Flare is exciting, with lots of action, tension and suspense...strong indigenous characters and key observations on the need to maintain one’s mental health in order to accomplish goals. The graphic format will appeal to readers of comics and other graphic materials while the message is important for everyone. And, as always, Robertson introduces a cliff hanger right at the end of the story, leaving fans eager for the next episode of the story! Highly Recommended.
