Ravens

After the War of 2127, only two factions remain on earth. The surface dwellers include remnants and children of everyday people who survived the nuclear war. These people are forced to eke out a living on a decimated planet. The Project dwellers are survivors as well, but they live in a protected facility, mostly underground. Their ranks include scientists, artists, government officials, and other highly educated and influential people, carefully screened for inclusion. They moved into an underground shelter built to withstand a nuclear war; they knew what was coming and didn't want to face it.

Seventy-seven years later, Jason, an astronaut, has finally returned to earth after a long space journey. He's horrified by the state of the earth and the plight of the nomad survivors. He makes it his mission to bring the two groups together.

Ravens, a religious fiction novel, was borne out of a belief that only God can destroy the earth, while many believe people will destroy it by their wasteful and selfish actions. It presents a subtle influence of God's principles in the lives of the characters, suggesting that he continues to work through people on the earth despite the conditions they find themselves in.
