One Hundred years have passed since the dreaded bacteria attacked humanity, causing women to become sterile and shortening mens lives.

Book Description
An Summary of Nephilim: Genesis By David Lucero The novel Nephilim: Genesis cannot be easily summarized. It’s a book about friendship, faith, destiny, and discovery. But it is so much more than that as well. Of course, there are main characters. Villains, heroes, supporting characters, those are the usual items found in a fiction book. There is a plot, of course, and tons of inspirations. But to break down the novel would not do it justice. To say that Alexander Luciano is the main character is just putting him into a role that he doesn’t fit easily into. A square peg in a round hole, so to speak. The Nephilim themselves are not easily described either. If you take the literal translations of them from the Old Testament, then they were giants born of mortal women who had been seduced by fallen angels. But they were briefly mentioned, almost impossible to spot if you’re not looking for them, and that leaves a vast amount of room for interpretation. I prefer to think of Nephilim as sons and daughters that, yes, were half-human/half-angels, but also much more than that. They were influential, giants not in the literal sense, but metaphorically, much as some people are “giants of industry.” These are not literally tall men or women, they are people that have shaped our commercial and financial institutions. They are individuals that have formed the basis of our society in such a way that we look up to them in reverence. So to say Nephilim are in that vein might be more accurate. They are “giants of destiny” if you will, leaders and warriors and thinkers. They are people that have walked with the gods and kept stride. They are idols and icons. Does that mean that I think Alexander Luciano is an icon? Yes, in a sense. He is what I wish I could be, not because he is almost supernatural, but because he has discovered his destiny and has embraced it with all his heart and soul. He is a shining example of what I would like to be. He is an angel, true, but he is still only a man. The novel Nephilim: Genesis was a long work in progress. I wrote several drafts, went through so many new characters and new plots that I can’t even remember all of them. It was crafted, not written, and I’m very proud of it. The characters in the book: Avatar, Sage, Epic, Arcadia, Magus, and Kheiron, are not just the characters I created for the book, they are characters that grew out of friendship, faith, and dedication. I didn’t write them, they came to life and I merely translated them onto the written page. Like so many stories in existence, there is sadness, happiness, pain, and joy in this novel. Some of it was my idea, some of it was not. And I don’t mean that I took other people’s ideas, but merely that the story became what it is because I was open to the possibility that this story was not entirely something I could create. I let the story go where it wanted to go, and I just tried to type fast enough to keep up. Alexander Luciano is a caring young man, but stubborn. He is a successful businessman. He is a son, a lover, a fighter. He is strong, brave, and a quick thinker. I am not any of these things entirely, but he is me. He is the idol I look up to. He is the “giant” in my storytelling. But all of the characters are important to me. Some of them were so easy to come up with, it was like a thunderbolt to my brain when I realized I was stupid for never thinking of them before. Some of them crept in and came to life and I never saw them coming. If and when you read the novel, I hope you find your own “giant” to look up to. Someone you wish you could be. It might not be Alexander Luciano, it might

Book Description
Allan Christopher is a self-made, African-American multimillionaire. Starting out with nothing but family, very high intelligence, ambition and drive, he succeeded against the odds. He dealt with racism, discrimination and the naysayers, Black and white, who were convinced he would never make it as an entrepreneur in the 1960s. Opening a fix-it shop in southside Chicago, through hard work and determination he turns it into a multi-million-dollar corporation. He's "made his mark." His home is a thirty-room estate. He is among the Who's Who of Black America. His company is listed in the Fortune 500. He is a "mover and shaker" in the community, and all the connections that accompany it. He faithfully attends church on Sundays. But has he made it? With the advent of his sixtieth birthday, his character, his past and his beliefs come into focus, honor and question as his story is told through the eyes of his family, and with it his impact on their lives. The time is 1988; the place, Chicago.
