The Burning House

Sean McNabb reaches the top of the best-sellers list with the publication of The Cursed Man. It accurately predicts that spaceships will come to Earth and destroy that which needs destroying. Berlin and Phnom Penh are first. Washington, D.C., is next. Now McNabb is seen as a threat as the Prophet of Doom. Some even see him as worthy of death. He sees the man who is his most sinister threat at a reading in San Diego. The man confronts him as he signs copies of his novel. He says McNabb is a tool of the devil and all such tools deserve to burn in hell. McNabb deflects his threat with sarcasm. The man McNabb who calls Shadow Man presses on and asks McNabb to sign his book with these words: Dear Nadine, it's hot in here. McNabb is stunned. Does this man know McNabb's former lover Nadine Walker in Mississippi and that she also saw accurate scenes of the destruction of Phnom Penh? Does Shadow Man also believe she is deserving of a fiery death? It's only the first threat as McNabb's future is put at risk, the safety of his family is under attack, and the support of those he loves is shaken. Will his secure lifestyle burn to the ground? Will death divers find success as they try to kill him? Can the love of his wife survive the onslaught? Will the love of Nadine Walker resurface? Those are questions that tear apart McNabb's life continually. He only hopes he can survive.
