Summary

 A crying statue. A bleeding crucifix. Around the globe, strange signs point to the end of days. Our world is unravelling. As foretold in ancient texts, and marked by the Mayan Long Count, time has nearly run out. Foreshadowed by a sequence of bizarre phenomena and natural disasters, the End Time is fast approaching. Only Abraham Black has the knowledge to stop this from happening, ancient wisdom inherited from those who have gone before him: Edwardian scholar, Aurel Lockwood and American adventurer, Brice Ambrose Stone. With the help of his son, Adam, suicide cult survivor, Zillah, and streetwise Kris, he hopes to outwit the sinister forces ranged against him before it is too late.©2007 Celia Rees.

"One man has the knowledge to fight against destructive forces that seek to carry out an end-of-the-world prophecy. He and some helpers (his son, a girl who cleverly escaped from a cult, and a streetwise kid) seek to stop these forces through shape-shifting and time-travel. The story jumps in a sometimes-convoluted manner, but narrator Colin Moody does his best to keep things straight. He gives characters varying English accents and highlights the voice of the American, Brice Ambrose Stone. His story is told through letters, and his flat, nasal voice is unique and enjoyable as the journey moves back and forth in time. Fantasy lovers will appreciate this..." (AudioFile Magazine)
