by Donna VanLiere

First published 2020

Emma Grady watches in horror as her favorite patient disappears before her eyes at the Brooklyn hospital where she works. Colleagues vanish too, leaving no trace. The subways shut down. Graves split open across the city. Emma races from Brooklyn to Queens to find her boyfriend, desperate to know if he survived whatever caused these mass disappearances. The phenomenon spreads beyond New York to every corner of the globe. Terror consumes the city as residents grapple with an inexplicable catastrophe. Emma believes she may be witnessing the end times and begins searching for answers. Her journey takes her from the chaos of New York City to Israel. VanLiere weaves biblical prophecy into Emma's struggle for survival as she and her friends confront the disturbing reality behind the global vanishings. The story concludes with the author examining scriptural passages about God revealing the future from the beginning.
