Shattered : A Novel (The Vanished Series) (ITPE)

"Vanished, Dr. David Jeremiah's apocalyptic thriller, swept me into a world teetering on the edge of eternity . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." --Colleen Coble, Publishers Weekly and USA TODAY bestselling author In the gripping sequel to Vanished, a global power rises, and the ancient prophecies of the Antichrist are set in motion. Two years have passed since millions across the globe disappeared in a heartbeat including John "Haggs" Haggerty's own family. Haggs, a military expert in pandemics, warned his agency of growing patterns in deadly epidemics and other threats to security. Then the "Great Disappearance" and the nuclear destruction of the US changed everything. Now he is invited to join the powerful Trident Group, led by the wealthy Matthias Vilks. Inside Trident, Haggs sees patterns that suggest a coordinated plan to control economies and governments. He is not alone. Israeli tech expert, Saul Katz, saw his colleague disappear before his eyes. Now the Israeli government confiscates his life's work, a defense system for Israel. Li Fan, monitoring seismic anomalies, sees terrifying signals in the earth's activity, but no one will listen to her warnings. As the disturbing pieces fall in place, governments fall, and John and his best friend's daughter, Abigail, begin to see those prophecies from scripture come to life--Israel is in danger, natural disasters rake the planet, and world leaders bow to one powerful man. The signs are clear: the end times are no longer approaching--they have begun. New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah returns with more apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with his signature perspective and compassion.
