Book Description
Prophecy is prologue
England, 1775. An ambitious American pushes his expedition onward despite dire warnings from the locals. But what Benjamin Franklin discovers on the Isle of Wight isn't just superstition. It's a secret with the power to save the world--or destroy it.
In less than four hundred days, most of the world's population will be dead. Nobody knows why, only when: February 9, 2027.
Retired FBI Special Agent Will Piper is one of the few who will live "Beyond the Horizon." Fifteen years ago, he revealed the prophecy to the world after the hunt for a madman led him to the mystical Library of Vectis, now housed at Area 51, in an unmarked location in the Nevada desert.
Will is determined to live out his days in the Florida sun . . . even as the world sinks into hedonism and despair . . . even as the Doomsday Killer's ominous calling cards resurface . . . until the apocalypse threatens the one thing Will won't compromise on: his own flesh and blood.
My Review
This is the 3rd book and the last book in the Will Piper series. It is best if this series is read in order as each book is a continuation of the last book. The plot was a very interesting read with well-drawn characters. It was fast-paced read that kept the pages turning until a very surprising ending. History from the past and a switch to present was done very skillfully. The concept of the book is a very unusual and interesting premise and Glenn Cooper is very adept at getting us to believe it could be true. I look forward to reading more of his books and I highly recommend this book to those who love mystery thrillers.
