Publisher Description
'Get the cameras rolling - Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!' R.L. Stine
The future has changed its course... In the notorious Bermuda Triangle a private jet vanishes without trace, taking with it scientists working for world-famous philanthropist Joaquin Abell.
In Miami, Captain Kyle Sears is called to a murder scene. A woman and her daughter have both been shot through the head. But within moments of arriving, Sears receives a phone call from the woman's husband, physicist Charles Purcell. 'I did not kill my wife and daughter. In less than twenty-four hours I too will be murdered and I know the man who will kill me. My murderer does not yet know that he will commit the act.'
With uncanny accuracy, Charles goes on to predict the immediate future just as it unfolds around Sears, and leaves clues for a man he's never met before: Ethan Warner.
The hunt is on to find Purcell, and Ethan Warner is summoned by the Defense Intelligence Agency to head up the search. But this is no ordinary case, as Warner and his partner Nicola Lopez are about to discover, and time is literally everything.
'Earth-shattering intrigue, hyperdrive action and a desperate race to save humanity, cranked up to the max with scarily realistic science and apocalyptic religion thrown in for good measure . . . a major new talent has hit the mystery thriller scene' Scott Mariani, bestselling author of The Lost Relic
'The fossilised remains of a 7,000-year-old creature dug from the sands of the Negev Desert in Israel become the bones of contention in Dean Crawford's fast-paced debut thriller... The book neatly threads together a wild variety of plotlines' Wall Street Journal
`Partly mythical read, part thriller this pacy tale is a page turner guaranteed to keep you up late' Sun
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A conflicted and unconvincing villain mars Crawford's third thriller featuring private investigators Ethan Warner and his partner, Nicola Lopez (after 2013's Immortal). Douglas Jarvis of the Defense Intelligence Agency hires the duo to look into a horrific murder in Miami that involves a scientist, Charles Purcell, who has extensive knowledge concerning the nature of time. Meanwhile, Joaquin Abell, owner of the firm International Rescue and Infrastructure Support, is in Puerto Rico organizing rescue efforts after a massive earthquake. Crawford gradually and erratically reveals Abell's misdeeds, leaving readers as conflicted over his evilness as Abell himself appears to be. His master plan is to cause major natural disasters, after which his company will swoop in and offer aid, making Abell, "the savior of mankind." An abundance of scientific information does little to increase believability, and even the frequent shoot-'em-up scenes fail to pump up excitement.
Customer Reviews
Apocalypse
Very very good book although the ending left me confused and wasn't much of a cliff hanger either but great book overall
Apocalypse
I began reading Immortal, I thought the story was fantastic so I straight away purchased Apocalypse and started to read. I was really impressed with the way it was written and how interesting the story line was. I could not put it down. I am very excited to read the next novel due out next year and follow on the character's journeys of discovery. Dean Crawford is a great author and I have recommended him to many friends.
Apocalypse
I did not enjoy this book at all! It was such a drag and it took me so much effort to finish it! It just wasn't my cup of tea!
