A meteor explodes into the planet. Massive earthquakes rock the land as giant tsunamis engulf the coasts. Sleeping volcanoes violently erupt, filling the sky with clouds of suffocating ash, and soon, the world is shrouded in darkness. Last Day has come, bringing death, destruction, and despair. Yet hidden in a mountain valley, the Brigons manage to survive, but with no power and little food or water, their hope is fading into the eternal night. Then a voice calls out in the darkness and offers to bring them light. This is the story of Sam Mitchell, an engineer with one of the power managers in Brigos Glen. Seventy years have passed since light was restored to the village. Few remember the time before Last Day or the strangers who helped them in their time of need. But Sam has heard the stories and, with the guidance of his friend, seeks to help others as he goes about his seemingly unimportant, routine existence. That is, until he receives an ominous order from beyond the mountains that will change his life forever. For centuries mankind has sought God...not simply to find Him, but to understand Him. This quest has left many struggling in a maze of contradictions - one God but a Father, one God but a Son, one God but a Spirit - leading them to the ultimate question: Who is the Trinity? The answer is revealed in The Company by Chuck Graham, a clever allegory, carefully woven with surprising revelation of who God is, who we are before Him, and our calling to love and encourage each other.

My take on this book:

When a meteor slams into the earth with such force that mountains crumble one would believe that no human life could survive, but there is a little group tucked away in a mountain valley that calls itself the Brigons that did just that. Somehow they survived the massive event. While they had been sustaining themselves for years  a few things have changed since Last Day occurred, which has them needing help. In comes a group called the Company with it's own Plan.

"The Company" is one of those stories that had me thinking about what if.Not an end time story per say, but in the beginning I sort of thought it might be.With plenty of twists I found myself enjoying the story but I do admit it took me several chapters to become invested in wanting to know how the end would work out. There is a christian message that is so very easy to understand as the story unfolds. Overall, not a story that I would normally read, but was glad that I did.
