Veronica Calder wakes every morning to two ghosts. The first ghost is an unhappy young man she sees in the bathroom. The second ghost is her late father. Every morning, her father sits at the breakfast table for a short period: he reads his paper, drinks his coffee and then smiles as he disappears. His appearance is almost like a film that plays again and again in the same way. While none of this is scary for her, it does seem that the ghosts are becoming stronger and more numerous. Read More

About the Book
In the fifth installment of James Patterson's action-packed Daniel X series, Daniel must now face an alien whose origins appear nearer to the depths of Hell than the outer reaches of the galaxy.

He's connected with several military and intelligence groups --- including the daughter of a prominent FBI agent --- and is prepared to lead the ultimate showdown against the evil that has plagued planet Earth for so long. Readers, beware --- and be prepared for a truly epic battle that evokes the ancient prophecies of Armageddon!
