Revelations

The sky turned wrong on a Tuesday. By Friday, the world had no explanation. By Sunday, four strangers knew exactly what it was. When a bruised, crimson-veined sky appears simultaneously over every major city on Earth, journalist Ethan Cole hears a whisper no one else can explain: The first seal is broken. Emergency physician Mara Vasquez watches a plague tear through her ER with impossible speed and biological logic she has never encountered. Data analyst Priya Anand begins mapping a global pattern the world's institutions are not ready to name. And Pastor Jonah Reed - who has spent three years standing on street corners being called crazy - finally sees the thing he has been waiting for arrive. In Geneva, UN Special Envoy Adrian Veyra smiles for the cameras. He hears a different whisper: You are chosen. You will conquer. And he believes it. The Last Age is a literary apocalyptic thriller following four ordinary witnesses - a journalist, a doctor, a data analyst, and a preacher - as they find each other in the dark, piece together the pattern of the Book of Revelation unfolding in real time, and reckon with what it means to tell the truth at the end of an age. This is not a story about the end of the world. It is a story about the end of a world organized around power - and the slow, costly, necessary beginning of something else. For readers of Station Eleven, The Road, Good Omens (the darker half), and literary thrillers that take ideas seriously.
