Under the two suns of the planet Theta, where food is a more precious commodity than life, the native inhabitants live and work submissive to the invading Seraphs and the Thetan Church. After a traumatizing event, Kara, a young Thetan girl, questions the legitimacy of the Seraphs and the honesty of the Church. She makes a horrifying discovery at the Seraph camp, putting her life is in danger.

Other authors had this to say about Rebels of Theta<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Rebels of Theta<\/strong><\/em> by Vickie Adair, book one of the Gods of Arth Trilogy, is a mind-blowing (and mind-touching!!) work of art, which will have you holding your breath from the first page to the last. You\u2019ll feel a bond with the peaceful Thetans and share in their joy, their suffering, and also their loss. This amazing tale of a handful of men, women, and children overcoming incredible
\nadversity for the right to be treated as people, not savages, is truly heartwarming.<\/p>\n

Lun Kikogne, author of Wars of Times<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In Rebels of Theta<\/strong>, <\/em>Vickie Adair delivers a great read, imaginative and fast-paced! Adair has woven a compelling story around the great question of “faith” and how tightly or loosely tied to it our evolution is. She sets up a triangle of opposing forces: the so-called gods, the liars, and the
\ninnocents. These forces wrestle with the inevitable events that accompany humanity’s innate desire to evolve: political unrest, religious doubt, and war.<\/p>\n

Kristina Mercier, author of An Agreement with Love<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Vickie Adair has mastered the fear of a realistic future dystopian existence for human beings with her Science Fiction debut, Rebels of Theta<\/strong><\/em>. Oppression is certain. Fear is certain. The only points debatable are where trust is loyal and if your prayers can be heard in this captivating page-turning novel. You will feel the emotions of life and death as the fate of the Thetans knots
\nyour stomach until the very last sentence.<\/p>\n

Michelle Anderson Picarella, author of Livian<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
