Description
When three of the most dangerous criminals in the world escape Prime Supermax Prisons, Global Marshal Austin Corrigan and his team go after them. The escapees are tied to a fourth man, a powerful figure whose ambition is fueled by the most terrifying prophecies of religion.
Austin tracks his prey and discovers they possess incredible abilities that logic cannot explain: superhuman strength, speed, agility and a dominant telekinetic power. Are these man-made criminals, scientifically enhanced Apex Humans, or is Austin in pursuit of the unimaginable, the biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Austin confronts his enemy and his belief in a final battle and is forced to make an unspeakable choice, one that will forever change science, religion and the life which binds them together.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
"a.a. clifford builds a story that blends hard science, social change, moral and spiritual conundrums, and mystery into an action-packed plot designed to appeal to all kinds of readers, whether they come from spiritual or sci-fi circles.
The action is fast-paced, the character development keeps readers engaged, and the quandaries and questions Austin and other characters face as their roles and fates play out on a larger battlefield of belief and power plays makes for thoroughly engrossing reading.
Perhaps the most compelling piece of this story lies in its ability to dovetail spiritual questions over the nature and possibility of God with the events that predict and precede cataclysmic changes.
Christian readers, in particular, will find that the enactment of high drama in a futuristic world of pestilences and power plays feels both realistic and true to modern times and represents competing belief systems as each character tests their ability to transform themselves and the world.
Four will draw readers from different circles; from Christian thinkers and agnostics to sci-fi readers looking for a compelling story of futuristic society and change."
- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.
"With Four: Book 1 of the Numbers Trilogy, a. a. clifford blurs, shifts, redefines and arguably obliterates the lines between cold, hard science and subjective faith.
The action starts early. It doesn't let up until the breathless conclusion that leaves the reader wondering what comes next. The story moves at a breakneck pace, but the plot remains solid, despite some unexpected twists and turns.
It's an effective beginning to a promising trilogy that will challenge your perception of the roles of science and religion.
Characters are realistic, blunt, and raw. Things they say and do will sometimes shock or even offend you, but they are true to themselves. This makes for a great story, even though it will make you uncomfortable at times."
- Tilmer Wright Jr. Readers' Favorite Book Reviews.
