The Prophet of Queens (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781736417430)

The world hasn't heard from a true prophet in more than 2,000 years. So why now? And why this guy?

Scotty Butterfield is a recluse. A college dropout clinging to a dead-end job and a rundown sublet in New York City, where he lives with his cat and spends his nights lost in fantasy videogames.

The government is in the hands of hardline fundamentalists, the country slipping into a dystopia, when Scotty's bleak fortunes suddenly grow worse. He begins to receive emails from someone calling himself a "Messenger of the Lord." The emails warn of imminent death and destruction in the city. An obvious scam.

Yet the predictions bear out.

Stunned, Scotty fears he's caught up in some terrorist plot. Only to realize, the disasters are impossible for any human to foresee or stage--all caused by uncontrollable forces of nature. Acts of God. Just as the Messenger claims.

Is Scotty going nuts, or could these prophecies truly be divine? He's about to be thrust onto the national stage to confront a paradox unlike anything the world has ever known, with the future of humanity hanging in the balance.

The Prophet of Queens is a mind-bending, genre-bending mashup. A wild ride of twists and turns that will challenge your sanity, keep you guessing, and reward you with a powerful climax you will never see coming.
