Joshua Graham - Terminus

And finally, my beautiful wife and muse, Katie: I truly could not have written this book without your love, support, perspective, and all those long hours talking about and looking over my work with your unwavering honesty, and affirming words.

Dear friend,

The key thing to remember in any novel is that it is a work of fiction . Axiomatic as that may seem, I think it important that I make the following statements:

First: Terminus , while some of its premise stem from my personal beliefs, is a story, a parable even. It is not to be taken literally as Christian biblical doctrine on the topic of Angels, Heaven, or the afterlife. Rather, like Christ’s analogies of the Kingdom of Heaven being like a fishing net, a mustard seed, yeast, etc., this book’s concepts are for the purpose of illustrating greater truths in a way in which we humans can more readily identify. Like a “construct,” so to speak.

Secondly: though this book is a work of fiction, the issues of despair, suicide, emotional bondage to the past, are real. If you or anyone you know suffers from any of these, I implore you to reach out to trusted friends, qualified counselors or clergy, and by no means try to deal with it alone. Healing and freedom is available to those who seek it. Remember, “You are loved with an everlasting love.” No matter how dire the situation, there is hope. This is one reason I chose to name one of the main characters in this book HOPE. Having someone hear you, understand and/or pray for you can be life-changing. Whatever your lot, don’t give up, and don’t go it alone.

Thank you for taking the time to read Terminus , it means more to me than you can imagine. If you enjoyed it enough, would you kindly spread the word and tell your friends and family about it?

#1 Bestselling author Joshua Graham has won multiple awards for his thrillers DARKROOM and BEYOND JUSTICE. He holds a Master’s Degree from Juilliard, and a Doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. His books have been called “thought-provoking page-turners.” Many of his readers blame him for sleepless nights, arriving to work late, neglected dishes and family members, and not allowing them to put the book down.

“Joshua Graham’s TERMINUS is a fantastic read in every definition of that word. If Tom Clancy had written a novel of fallen angels and creatures that go bump in the night, this would be it: blisteringly paced, high-tension suspense, characters you bleed with. I can’t wait to read more!”

…A fast paced, adrenaline pumping, spiritual epic…

…Terminus will have you gasping for air, yelling at the characters, and questioning everything you thought you knew about angels…

…Highly recommended!

… Powerful and fascinating…

…will keep you riveted while you’re reading and then keep you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page.

“…Graham has taken stories of old and given them a new spin.

…The characters are richly developed

…Graham left the door open for more stories within this world, and I for one look forward to it with eager anticipation.

“…A riveting legal thriller…. breaking new ground with a vengeance… demonically entertaining and surprisingly inspiring.” (Beyond Justice)

"…A heart-pounding thriller… This gripping novel has it all: faith, hope, conspiracy, legal thrills, heart-pounding scenes…” ( Darkroom)

“…Action, political intrigue and well-rounded characters. Graham has created a novel that thriller fans will devour. (Darkroom)

“ Darkroom is a haunting tale.”

“ Darkroom is a fascinating, fast-paced, beautifully written story of love and war, murder, terrorism, and a dark conspiracy.”

“ Darkroom comes complete with a great mystery, unearthed secrets, and beguiling adventure. Joshua Graham mines an emotional landscape through an entourage of fascinating characters. Read this one—and take a walk on the perilous side.”
