The End of Daze - Paperback

by Andrew Fox (Author)

Jacob Zvi has turned his back on everything he was taught to value. His faith, his family, his citizenship, and even his morals. Yet seemingly divine fate introduces Jacob to the struggling members of an Orthodox congregation in the middle of ghetto in New Orleans while terrorists explode a purloined Soviet nuclear artillery shell atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

But things quickly take a turn for the Biblical, for the worthy dead are returning to life to build a Third Temple atop the now radioactive Temple Mount, scoured empty by the atomic blast. They return not to bodies of flesh and blood, but to cybernetic bodies produced in an advanced robotics lab on the Tulane campus, part of a secret project funded by the Department of Homeland Security.

The End of Days has begun, but unlike anything that has been anticipated by Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, or Muslims. When Jacob is inexplicably selected to serve as God's mouthpiece, and he finds he makes for a clownishly awkward prophet of God's Kingdom on Earth.

But he will have to up his game immeasurably in order to broker peace with all the factions who bitterly reject this version of the End Times-chief among them progressive Jews themselves! THE END OF DAZE, a science fiction eschatological satire fitting for the End Times encroaching on the twenty-first century.
