What he doesn't know, is which year. Artificial Intelligence can read the deterministic nature of reality and has predicted the deaths of 144,000 Chosen men. When the first dates are shown to be accurate, many begin to question whether these dates have been predicted, or are due to the intervention of an administrative religious organisation called the Watchers. England, like every other country on the planet, must come to terms with what appears to be humanity's desire to bring about its own end. But when Scott Beck is told the date of his predicted death is wrong, he sets off on a journey that explores the true nature of free will, sacrifice, and what it means to be human. It’s not the end of the world ... only humanity. What Readers Are Saying... "A smashingly original concept on the whole dystopian trope." "What a thrilling read, had me gripped from the start."
