In GRIM REAPER: End of Days, best-selling author Steve Alten takes us on a classic hero’s journey of good versus evil, transformation and redemption. Far more than it seems, the story draws frightening parallels between the lack of morality that corrupted Europe preceding the Black Death and the present-day greed that has mired our own society in economic collapse, two endless wars -- and a very real covert biological program, exposed by the author, which could lead to global pandemic and our own self-destruction. Meticulously researched, written in a voice reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy, End of Days is the first book in a planned series that Hollywood might best describe as “the Stand meets Dante’s Inferno.” Adding to the story’s literary feel are nine original drawings commissioned by an artist who invokes the style of Dante illustrator Gustave Doré.
