Celestial Unveiling Will Stun the World Prior to Deception Day
Eerily prophetic novel targets Earth's last days

LONGWOOD, FL-It was the third time in Earth's history that a thick darkness had descended over the spinning blue planet-but it would be the last. The Epiphany Deception: Earth's Prophetic Destiny Against the Guardian Cherub ($19.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-121-9), by Michael S. Holihan, weaves today's headlines into a mesmerizing tapestry of surprise, deception, and prophetic ruminations. The first in a trilogy, the novel paints an end-time perspective that will shock most people.

As the collision between God and Satan unfolds on the world's stage, the emergence of the one man who steals the reins of world power will catch readers off guard. Weaving together such relevant themes as Middle Eastern oil, the rise of Islam, military conflicts, secret weapons, terrorism, dirty bombs, economic collapse, and an entirely new explanation for paranormal encounters, the story builds on current "headline" topics to broaden its readership and gain mass appeal. Its conclusion regarding America's destiny as a global leader may shock some readers.

Many books about the end times are more sizzle than substance. With eye-opening new input from Holihan, readers will see why it is vital to have accurate insight into this turbulent period. The credible events of the novel paint a gritty image of an earth carelessly speeding toward the moment when the spiritual domain collides with the visible realm and the cataclysmic battle that erupts between light and dark, truth and deception, and hope and despair. Regardless of one's personal faith or creed, this epic confrontation will affect every living person for all eternity.
