Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Mojave Rock is a survival drama by J.W. Gilbert. For the past hundred years, the ArcPoint people have been living in the Mojave Forest as a secluded colony, closed off from the rest of the world with no contact. But now, one of their own, Arcon Franklin, has returned from the outside world, bringing news of Jesus Christ's resurrection. Jesus rules the world from Jerusalem through his faithful disciples in Central Authority. Meanwhile, Arcon introduces his girlfriend, Elaina Gonzales, and his friend, Victor Merrick, to the ArcPoint community. Arcon and his friends work together toward integrating the ArcPoint people with the rest of humanity. But first, Arcon, Elaina, and Ranger Dan Wilson must travel on tube trains through multiple continents to reach Jerusalem and meet with Central Authority.

Mojave Rock is an engaging survival drama, with love, hope, and faith being the key thematic components of the narrative. J.W. Gilbert presents a believable post-apocalyptic world featuring retro-futuristic technology that might remind you of some of the 1970s/80s era science fiction novels. With a cast of likable characters, Gilbert crafts an immersive narrative layered with biblical lore and allegory. This is primarily a theme-driven narrative, and, as such, the plot is somewhat of a slow burn. But the characters are very compelling, and their inter-relationship dynamics keep you glued to the pages. Apart from Arcon, Elaina, and Ranger Dan, I also enjoyed the burgeoning romance between Victor and Brina. In conclusion, this book is tailor-made for readers who enjoy slice-of-life dramas with Christian themes.

Mojave Rock is a work of fiction in the Christian, post-apocalyptic adventure, and interpersonal drama genres, and is the final book in the ArcPoint trilogy. Penned by author JW Gilbert, this post-apocalyptic tale is set in the Mojave Forest, where the ArcPoint people discover that Jesus is now ruling Earth. Arcon Franklin returns from the outside world, eager to share his experiences and integrate ArcPoint with society, but their home remains restricted. Only Jesus can lift the restriction, prompting Arcon, Elaina, Ranger Dan, and Roberto to embark on a global journey via tube trains to meet with Central Authority in Jerusalem and discuss integration plans. The novel delves deeper into post-apocalyptic science fiction while maintaining the trilogy's humor, romance, and adventure.

Author JW Gilbert brings a lot of different influences and ideas to the table in this thought-provoking exploration of humanity's quest for world peace and global harmony. I enjoyed the pace of the plot, which was filled with adventure, strong characters, and plenty of drama, whilst the structure allowed the underlying themes of hope, redemption, and the trials of societal integration to slowly bubble up the surface more and more. The journey across the world via tube trains was credible as part of Gilbert’s detailed worldbuilding, and it emphasized the interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of collaboration in rebuilding civilization on any scale. Amidst the suspenseful plot twists and vivid world-building, Gilbert infuses well-timed moments of humor and romance with great dialogue touches and unique parlance for every central character. Overall, Mojave Rock is a work I’d highly recommend to fans of the existing series. I’d recommend the series in general for readers seeking a detailed, confident, and accomplished author of modern Christian adventure novels.
