SUMMARY:Visiting Author - Van Jensen - Godfall
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome back to Francie & Finch Bookshop author Van Jensen! We will be celebrating the hardcover publication of his novel Godfall\, and will be hearing about the sequal\, Godrise\, set to release in January 2027!\nTo order the hardcover of Godfall\, follow the link HERE!\nTo pre-order a copy of Godrise\, give us a call at 402-781-0459! \nAbout Book 1 – Godfall:\nIn this riveting contemporary thriller\, Sheriff David Blunt is faced with a string of murders following the arrival of a mystery from out space—soon to be a television series from Ron Howard! \n“A fully engrossing\, genre-bending procedural that will have you staying up long past your bedtime.” -Karin Slaughter\, New York Times and #1 international bestselling author of Pretty Girls \nAll David Blunt wanted was to be sheriff of his hometown\, Little Springs\, Nebraska\, population 731. But his days of simply keeping the peace among the locals he’s known all his life are upended by a series of brutal\, bizarre murders—all happening in the wake of an event truly out of this world. One year ago\, just outside the town\, a being fell to Earth. Whatever it is\, it’s three miles tall\, seemingly dead\, and definitely not human. \nDubbed “the giant\,” the being’s arrival has transformed this quaint farm town from the middle of nowhere into the most important city on the planet. Yes\, a city\, complete with a top-secret government research site and a hundred thousand new residents: soldiers\, scientists\, bureaucrats\, spies\, criminals\, conspiracy theorists—and now a murderer. \nDavid never thought his job would involve breaking up chanting crowds of cultists or brokering peace with dueling government agencies\, all against the backdrop of the otherworldly. And as he faces a murder spree that strikes closer and closer to home\, David has to solve multiple mysteries—what fell from the sky\, how it’s connected to the killings right in front of him\, and who the killer is—before he loses his hometown forever. \nAbout Book 2 – Godrise: (Release date\, January 26th\, 2027)\nIn the shadow of the giant—the three‑mile‑tall alien that dropped down\, seemingly dead\, just outside of town—Little Springs continues to grow: 200\,000 people and still expanding rapidly. Crisis looms as they come to realize there is not enough water for all of them. A tech industry titan decides to dam a river and pipe its water into the city\, which sparks off a quickly growing protest. The dam is to be built on the historic site of a Lakota massacre at the hands of the U.S. army. Sheriff David Blunt is tasked with mediating the conflict\, an assignment that becomes impossible when a protester turns up dead—murdered\, David believes. \nMeanwhile\, scientist Sunny Lee is on the verge of a breakthrough to understanding the truth of the giant. Except\, to unlock its mysteries\, she’ll have to venture into the giant itself and risk touching off a cataclysm. All the while\, worrying omens appear\, indicating that the blade stabbed through the giant is spreading its infection—an alien life form with its own dark agenda.\n \nAbout the Author:\nVan Jensen is an acclaimed novelist\, screenwriter\, and comic book writer. Godfall\, his debut novel\, is in development as a TV series with Academy Award winner Ron Howard attached to direct. Jensen began his career as a newspaper crime reporter\, then broke into comic books and graphic novels as the writer of ARCA (IDW)\, Two Dead (Gallery 13)\, and Tear Us Apart (Dark Horse). Jensen has written world-renowned characters\, including Superman\, The Flash\, Green Lantern\, Godzilla\, and James Bond. He has served as a Comic Book Ambassador for the U.S. State Department\, teaching refugee children to tell their stories through comics. He lives in Atlanta.
