Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah's theological insights are already valued by millions of readers. Now he brings that same depth to novels that explore the end of the world . . .
As leader of a special military unit charged with stopping potential pandemics before they spread, John "Haggs" Haggerty has a front-row seat to the sharp increase in natural disasters that precede the Rapture--including plagues, earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war. And each crisis is becoming more intense.
Meanwhile, his own world feels like it's falling apart. He's still caught in the grief of messing up his relationship with his ex-wife, and he's trying to keep it together so that he can show up for his adult daughter before she wants him out of her life entirely. As both personal and professional situations push him to the brink, Haggs finds himself stretched further than ever in his desire to be the kind of good person he knows he should be.
Just when it seems as if things might turn around, Haggs is forced to decide between his need to find solutions and his need for personal redemption.
Vanished is Left Behind for a new generation--apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with Dr. Jeremiah's perspective and compassion.
Look for Shattered, book #2 in The Vanished Series, in June 2026.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pastor Jeremiah (The Coming Golden Age) makes his fiction debut with a gripping ride through endtimes-inspired chaos. U.S. Army major general John Haggerty heads a task force charged with containing the spread of deadly global viruses. As deaths linked to a new coronavirus spike, he heads to Crete and then Italy, where he focuses on implementing a quarantine—and reconnecting with his adult daughter, Sonya, with whom he's had a strained relationship since splitting from her mother 16 years ago. After an earthquake hits and traps the two in a cave, Haggerty opens up about the real reason the marriage fell apart, revealing in the process devastating truths about Sonya's dead brother. Just as their relationship starts to heal, they make it out of the cave and learn the virus has spread beyond the containment zone, multiple international conflicts have broken out, and fears of World War III are on the rise. As Haggerty works with international governments to contain the spread, he grapples with his damaged faith and weighs his responsibilities to his wife, his daughter, and his mission. Jeremiah makes good use of today's social and political turmoil to fuel a propulsive plot amplified by plenty of emotional conflict, and leaves a few threads dangling for future installments. Readers will want to dive right in.
