Publisher's summary

Time is running out as an apocalyptic prophecy comes to bear in a breathtaking thriller by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler.

As a plague of the gods spreads throughout the world, two men face the end times on opposing sides of good and evil.

It began as a death-defying ritual in the Yucatán. Jonathon Roth and his family were pawns in an inconceivable endgame. Jacob Calakmul was its depraved and mystifying mastermind destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy, destroy the government, and bring about his personal Armageddon. Exposing the unbelievable truth to the authorities has made Roth’s life a nightmare.

Roth is under FBI protection in DC. His sons may be safe, but his wife has disappeared, and his daughter, Suki—a girl gifted with a special magic—is now Calakmul’s captive. She and her father are the keys to making Calakmul’s plot a horrifying reality. It’s already in motion. A deadly plague released in Cozumel and rooted in ancient mythology will wipe out cities across the globe so fast it’s impossible to imagine the near future. But Calakmul can. His prophesized end of days is here. And only Roth and Suki can stop it.

To save their family, and all of humanity, what will Roth and his daughter risk? And what must they sacrifice in a final match with the ascending ruler of a terrifying new world order?

Great book

Jeff's books are always great, as always this one is no exception. Can't wait for the next book or series.

I couldn't stop listening

Jeff Wheeler is an amazing writer and I think this new series is one of his best. I was spell bound the entire time listening to the audio book. I am really happy that he has branched out to a different type of fiction. I loved his Muirwood and Kingfountain series, but I was getting tired of them because there were just too many of them and they all had a similar feel. Some authors can't seem to get past one great story and eventually beat it to death.

Thank you Jeff for a wonderful new series. I think it brings new life to your writing. This had a major climax and conclusion but is very much open to continuing the story. It is worth having another trilogy. I can't wait to see what else you might come up with.

awesome story

this was an awesome original series. highly recommend this series. lots of action and suspense

Fanatic

I enjoyed this series so much and highly recommend to anyone who loves edge of their seat fantastical, magical, adventure. I look forward to listening to more audibles from this author and narrator.

Really Good Story

This was an enjoyable close to the trilogy. Kate's performance was amazing as always. Jeff is one of my favorite authors but this story didn't grab me as much as many of his previous works.

Different but Awesome

I feel like this is unlike Jeff Wheeler's other books and stories and series, but in a good way! I found the story to be really interesting with great characters and a great plot. Glad I listened to the audio because I wouldn't have been able to pronounce the names of some of the Maya and Aztec gods/godesses.

Timely

I love how Wheeler combines history, archaeology, politics, and religion with the supernatural to create a story that could be ripped from today’s headlines. Great listen!

Excellent finale

Once again, the offer does a fantastic job. This Series has been quite enjoyable. Combining history with stories of shape, shifting magical beings has given us a fantastic story. Today logical people have chosen not to believe in magic. I am not one of them people and I don’t think the author is either. Great Read with excellent narration as always.

Left me wanting more!

I’ve read all three books in the last two weeks. it’s been a while since a book has gotten me so engulfed in the story the lord and all around everything. so much so I was telling coworkers about the book. That’s how you know. This is a good series.

Great continuity by author Jeff Wheeler, and excellent performance by Kate Rudd

It's an excellent series! Author Jeff Wheeler has written a series where the mystery and intrigue increases through each book. If you haven't read Books 1 & 2, I urge you to read them. It will be well worth your time, and I believe you'll enjoy them as much as I did. The audible performance by Kate Rudd brings a lot of the emotions of the characters' experience during this 'Final Strike' -Mr.Bill
