Published by Marcher Lord Press, NUMB is a great read in the small but strong genre of Christian science fiction. The story follows Crusader, a (literally) unfeeling assassin employed by the Ministrix. Crusader is the best at what he does, and he knows his work will earn him salvation as he atones for his sins through killing the Ministrix’s enemies.
But then he’s 
assigned to eliminate a young woman named Isolda Westin. At the sight of her, his numbness fails–and he can’t carry out the job. With his eternal future on the line, Crusader embarks on a desperate journey to find and kill Isolda, even as he uncovers truth about the Ministrix and the past he has given everything to destroy.
NUMB is a great read, thought-provoking and character driven.
