Huntington Station, NY (PRWEB) June 19, 2009
The action, suspense and love in the new novel The Manhattan Prophet make it an emotionally enthralling story, and the supernatural overtones will engage readers from cover to cover. Jake Packard paints a dramatic and believable picture of a futuristic world, while exposing the basic human nature of each well-developed character within the fast moving and dynamic story.
The Manhattan Prophet takes place in the near future in New York City after a limited nuclear war between the West and Radical Islam. Civil order, personal liberty, and democratic government have been changed forever. Now, the multinational corporations, new-founded city state governments, and street gangs vie for power and survival. The masses are forced into a feudalistic existence; many are infected with viruses that mutated in the radioactive fallout. Those with "clean" blood rise to prominence while those diseased and dying sink into depravity.
Into this world, hope rises with a mysterious person named Salem Jones, a former prisoner who is at the vanguard of a global spiritual movement. He spreads healing and peace among the poor but anxiety and fear among the powerful. As the world watches, tensions mount as the New York city-state prepares for an ultimate battle between good and evil.
Enter Maria Primera, the young, beautiful, and healthy news reporter, ready to step onto the world stage with her exclusive coverage of the Salem Jones story. She and her brilliant co-worker, Herbie, are caught up in a whirlwind of conspiracy, revolution, miracles, and unexpected romance. Little do they know that destiny has cast them as the leading characters in these world-changing events.
Amid the current uncertainty of the economy, and the geo-political tension in our world today, The Manhattan Prophet highlights hope and redemption beyond extreme tribulation. The principle that "everything is connected" sends a message that even our simple moments are meaningful. Cherish the little joys, loves, and pleasures (like a good book).
