The first of a series of six novels, ''E.H.U.D.: Prelude to Apocalypse'' is a work-in-progress serial novel written by novice writer Hezekiah Bennetts, published on his blog, [http://neldak.blogspot.com/ The Realms of Neldak].
 
The story starts when [[The Everyman|John Donalson]] awakens from a fifteen year coma to find his life in ruins. His brother hates him, his teenage neiceniece is pregnant and turning to him as a surrogate father, and his fiancee is now engaged to... to... to a not very nice person... To make matters worse, John is now suffering from hallucinations of a dead child prophesying his doom...
 
Meanwhile, the president of the [[Eagle Land|United States]] has been assasinatedassassinated, and his secretary of defense, Edgar Latterndale, is now the cheifchief executive. Unfortunately for the nation, he's distracted from his duties by marrigemarriage problems, health concerns, and his role in a plot to overthrow the government...
 
Linking these two stories together is the mysterious [[The Man Behind the Man|General Robert Mistlethwakey]], and his army of rogue[[Super Soldier|super-soldiers]], the Enhanced Human Ultimate Defenders, or E.H.U.D.s.
 
As the two stories developedevelop, interspersed with several subplots, John is brought into the heart of a massive government coverup, Edgar is pushed into launching the United States into civil war, and the E.H.U.D.s push the whole world closer to apocalypse.
 
Despite the book's science fiction overtones, a good portion of its [[Doorstopper|not insignificant length]] is spent character relationships and the socio-economic effects of a pending super-soldier invasion. Bonus points for making it all a religious debate as well.
