In the twenty-first century, an unthinkable chain reaction has manifested itself in an apocalyptic nightmare for the inhabitants of the Earth. Who would have thought it could have been born out of a seemingly innocuous comet, Shoemaker- Levi 9, which slammed into Jupiter in 1994?
Astrophysicist Levon Halston is called to a meeting of internationally renowned scientists to discuss the possible consequences of Jupiter's orbital deviation. Within months, his dire predictions are dwarfed, as the barely perceptible orbital deviation escalates into rapidly occurring celestial upheavals. Earth is captured in the gravitational field of another planet, sending the entire world into chaos, with meteors, earthquakes, firestorms, and unusual weather disturbances. And to make the devastation complete, a rogue country launches a nuclear attack upon the other nations of the world, while the U.S. is crippled and unable to organize a counterstrike.
Levon is plunged into an anxiety-ridden quest across the United States to find his 12-year-old daughter. Along the way, he converges with Michelle and Jordan, who are fleeing California's destruction. Together, they go through the furious struggles of a horrifying reality, at the same time trying to define their own utopia.
The Bible's mysterious book of Revelation unfolds as author Douglas J Edgel weaves a bone-chilling account of the last days of the world. This riveting, complex tale excites and unforgettably engages the reader's imagination.
A novel that feels so real, it just might be . . . some day.
