Description
Mankind rushes toward apocalypse in 2012. Fundamentalists and new age thinkers of all stripes are convinced the world will end on the last day of the 5000-year Mayan Great Cycle. Leveraging that hysteria, Arthur Davidson, a radio evangelist, rises to prominence while promising salvation through him alone. But Davidson guards a startling secret, one that drives him to force the Bible's apocalyptic prophesies to fruition. He procures ten tactical nuclear weapons stolen from a Russian Army facility and attempts to use them to bring about the end of all time. Davidson's nemesis is Sally Reiser, a Jew disillusioned with God, whom she blames for the handicap of her six-year-old autistic son. She's the last of a line of seers, a family gifted to witness the work of God, no matter how beautiful or terrible. Sally allies with an unlikely hodgepodge of Davidson's enemies including Gary LaMonte a doctoral candidate who has written a thesis on post-millennialism, the effect of the dawning millennium on the mass psyche. Rosa Vasquez is the FBI's lead agent in the government's fight against Davidson's terrorist network, code-named Bible Scholar. Together, these imperfect heroes combat Davidson's mad plans, risking everything to save the planet, save each other and save the anchors of their souls.
