From the publisher

The prophesied final countdown begins. But does anyone hear it?

The world is poisoned by toxic tribalism. Amorality is now the standard. There are no superpowers or large countries, just self-serving scattered political entities and criminal combines whose main threats are each other.

A small, but powerful, Christian faith establishes Zion Centers around the world where both its members and peace-loving moral people physically gather for safety. In Israel, Jon Patema, a mysterious Jewish rabbi, leads throngs of Jews to affiliate with this Christian movement, and Jerusalem becomes a dominant Zion Center.

All is not well in the Centers though. Young people are struggling with who they want to be, and the security of the Centers hangs in the balance. Rohen Barker, a self-centered member of the governing Zion Council, has his eye on being its head-no matter what it takes.

Then, as unexpected as Noah's flood, it hits. A worldwide pandemic that makes COVID-19 look like a walk in the park. And this is just the beginning. Millions across the earth succumb while internal and external forces try to control or destroy the Centers.

Is this the end of everything? Or is it the beginning?
