An intense 2012 end-of-the-world thriller. Mick, the main character, is the only one who understands the meaning of ancient prophecies and can stop the apocalypse, but he is thought to be insane and is stuck in an asylum. He finds help in Dominique, a lovely psychiatric intern who is assigned to his case. As the date approaches, an alien signal reaches earth and triggers strange events while the countries of the world are on the brink of a nuclear holocaust.
The relationship between Mick and Dominique reminded me of the movie, 12 Monkeys. For me, their romance was one of the highlights of the book. I did get frustrated with Dominique's attitude of disbelief though. She kept acting like Mick was crazy long after events should have convinced her otherwise. But that was not a big problem for me and, other than that, I really enjoyed the book.
