About this listen

The story of a beloved “villain”—and the betrayal that turned a scientist into a madman.

Nic has always been too smart for his own good. The son of the scientist responsible for putting humans on Mars, Nic plans to follow in his father’s footsteps. But when his father is cruelly punished for being “unassimilated,” Nic vows to create an apocalyptic weapon and free the world from United control.

Seeking allies, Nic charms his way into the upper ranks, where he meets Min, a high-ranking official with revolutionary plans of her own. Min offers Nic unlimited funding and legal protection. But in exchange, she wants the one thing he can’t give: his heart.

FIRST LIGHT is a prequel story in the RED RAIN series, a fast-paced Christian sci-fi adventure that’s perfect for fans of THE HUNGER GAMES and LEFT BEHIND.
