A Prophet has appeared midway through the twenty-first century, the last in a long line of healers, visionaries and mystics down through the ages. People around the world hear his message of oncoming devastation and his warning that the only shelter that will save them is their own inner strength and nobility of spirit. Religions and technologies have failed humanity. The time of reckoning is here. Everyone will have to face this age of transition in one of two ways -- in utter horror and despair or with the slim hope that renewal lies on the other side of catastrophic earth changes.
