Dante’s Inferno, his depiction of hell, was written even though Europe was coping with battle, famine, the corruption of the Church, and the evils from the pogrom-the brutal massacre of countless Jews. Soon after Dante’s moving, the dark plague wiped out off half the world’s people, an end-of-days-like event that birthed a star depicted in paintings and dance: the Grim Reaper.

What few people know is that Dante’s poem draws inspiration in the Zohar, a historical text that warns the about Grim Reaper: End of Days accurate end of days will be brought on by the corruption of man after events in the twenty-third day of Elul-a date equating to September 11th, 2001.

One individual that does know is Mary Klipot, a biohazard level-four scientist. She sees historical parallels between your insufficient morality that corrupted European countries preceding the dark death and the present-day greed which has mired our very own culture in financial collapse and seemingly unlimited wars. And she views an opportunity to perform God’s work. She injects herself with Scythe, a swift-acting edition of the dark death, and diligently spreads chlamydia throughout Manhattan. The risk of an internationally pandemic causes officials to seal off the island at the same time when globe leaders have gathered at the UN.

One-armed and shell-shocked Iraq vet Patrick Shepherd may be able to stop her. But 1st he’ll have to find his family members somewhere in the plague-ravaged town, and outrun the Grim Reaper himself.

Meticulously researched and written in a voice similar to Cormac McCarthy, End of Days is the first reserve in a well planned series best referred to as The Stand meets Dante’s Inferno.
