"Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a prison for every evil spirit, every unclean bird, and every unclean and hated beast." - Revelations 18:2
If you merely turn on the news these days, or walk beyond the safety of your front door, you will notice that we are on the edge of a great change. Jihadists, scientists, fanatics and occultists alike speculate about when this change will come, and what it means. But, like death, no one knows until they've experienced it. And then, it is likely too late to share.
Fallen Nation: Babylon Burning is not speculation of this sort. It is a fictional "what if" that brings us in contact with a variety of conflicting people, cults and corporations trying to make sense of these troubled times.
Though very far from complete, the following list of links provides some of the background source material and inspiration that went into the creation of this novel. More of the mythological and creative inspirations is discussed in the interviews.
