Jacob Zvi has turned his back on everything he was taught to value. His faith, his family, his citizenship, and even his morals.

Produktbeschreibung
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.
Autorenporträt
Andrew J Fox was born in 1958 at Chelsea Hospital Victoria, Australia and grew up in suburbia. His father worked for car maker Holden at the Dandenong plant, as well as being the licensee at the local Workers Club. His mother stayed at home to raise him and his two brothers. Young Andrew grew up surrounded by books, so many to choose from which he fell in love with mysteries as soon as he read Agatha Christie books. He still didn't quite know what he wanted to write about until he wrote his first essay, "Concessions." Andrew struggled at school because of a medical condition which wasn't diagnosed until many years later. Then he left school at 15 and his father got him a job doing construction work at the local Abattoir, which lasted 12 months. Then he was washing cattle at the same local Abattoir until they let him go 6 months later. Eventually getting work in the meat section. As the months ticked by, he started writing short stories. Andrew used his time whilst he was employed to travel around Australia and popular destinations around the world. It wasn't until 1979 that his medical condition was diagnosed which was both a shock and a relief to finally understand what ailed him. In 2008 he was inspired by an article in the local newspaper to which he invested in his writing 2013 and was first published in 2016. His latest book to be published should be released in 2023, "Murder on Craven Street."
