The Sleep of the Gods

What would you do if you—and only you—learned the end of the world was about to occur? Unfortunately for Catherine Hayesly, she's about to find out. It had been six long years since Catherine Hayesly's last vacation. In another few weeks she and her family would finally commence their dream trip of a lifetime. But then came the call. The one her high-ranking military husband, Warren, had warned might someday arrive. With a fateful string of cryptic words, and violating every security protocol, Warren informs Catherine of an impending world-altering event. With the clock ticking and her mind reeling, Catherine finds herself suddenly thrust into a nightmare of global proportions. Left to fend for herself and her three children in the wake of Warren's information, Catherine must abandon any semblance of her former life and commit to the only thing that now matters: survival. But confronting her at every turn is the event itself and the enigmatic origins surrounding it and all that it has wrought.
