Joe Chiappetta dares to write apocalyptic science fiction for the whole family! Think "Star Trek" meets Narnia.

Deleting history was just the beginning. Blast off with STAR CHOSEN, a family-friendly space opera! After war, heartbreak, attacks to your faith, and the erasure of all history and culture, whose side will you fight on: the Proud... or the Chosen?

Xeric Award winner and Ignatz Award nominee Joe Chiappetta crafts "Star Chosen," a science fiction epic for all ages. In a time yet to come, the high-tech Faith War threatens to destroy all religions across the universe. The term "Christian" has been completely eradicated from all culture in a war-torn galaxy.

One small yet bold group, known as "the Chosen," survives due to a miraculous favor from a mysterious military man--and the providence of God. In intergalactic combat and matters of destruction, this military man knows no equal. Yet on the home front, his family is falling apart. Unlike most families of the future, torn to bits by addiction to virtual reality game products, this man's family crumbles under his terrible involvement with weapons of experimental technology.

As the man continues to cross paths with the kind-hearted Chosen people, he dreams for a chance at redemption with his wife and daughter, who have disappeared to an unknown planet. He's all too aware that his journey may be shattered by a futuristic conspiracy full of intrigue and high-tech secrecy.

Themes infused into this biblically inspired sci-fi journey include prejudice, perseverance, technology obsession, fighting to follow God's word, effective and accountable leadership, overcoming deceit, the great commission, great faith, courage, godly division, and not conforming to the foolish patterns of this world.

Be prepared to read this faithful adventure cover to cover, as readers say they can't put it down. As biblical speculative fiction goes, Star Chosen will take you on a space flight that will challenge your faith and entertain you at the same time.
