With the death of Penelope, Jezebel enters their circle, splitting the gang. A group of born again Christians warn their friends about end times bible prophecies, and the upcoming Rapture of the Church. These are brushed aside as loonies, though Leo, a staunch atheist builds an underground bunker to shelter himself and his friends should his predictions about an upcoming world war, or an apocalypse resulting from the abuse of technology come to pass. During one of Jayden's wild parties, the Rapture of the Church happens, shaking those in the group who are left behind. The remaining friends are splintered into two groups one loyal to Jezebel who is Beast's ally, and the other of new Christian converts who go underground with Leo. The second act of the story takes you through the events in Revelation, fleshing out the seven seals, seven trumpets and seven bowl judgement and the Battle of Armageddon. The final act begins with the defeat of the unholy trinity and the imprisoning of the Great Deceiver, Dragon. A time of peace and happiness on earth where immortals walk among mortals is disrupted by the release of Dragon who leads the final rebellion. The novel blends the convergence of technology and current events with Bible Prophecy for an earth shaking read.

Excerpt

Ben followed her supervisor into the room. Just before the door closed, she slipped in and ducked into a nearby closet. Even for her petite frame, it was a tight fit. She could sense Ben's excitement as he stepped into the transference cylinder. After this, his mind would leave his mortal body and enter the immortal, super-powered clone carefully cultivated for him. Her heart pounded with anticipation as she watched in silence. Something didn't seem right. Ben's face paled. The terror on his face freaked her out. What did he see? What's going on? "Let me out! I changed my mind," Ben's voice resonated through the room as he thrashed the cylinder. Her supervisor pulled the lever, paralysing Ben from neck down. "Memory and thought process download initiated," announced the robotic female voice.
