The world prayed for a savior. It never thought to check his references. When a mysterious plague capable of inducing violent psychosis erupts in a remote Congo village, Dr. Aris Thorne knows something is terribly wrong. The virus behaves like no pathogen he's ever seen-it seems almost engineered. But when he sounds the alarm, his findings are buried, and a charismatic billionaire philanthropist, Mikael Korza, miraculously produces a vaccine. This is only the beginning. As Korza's global empire offers a miracle cure tied to a revolutionary digital currency and a convenient subdermal chip-the "Mark of Nexus"-a disparate group of outsiders begins to connect the dots. A disillusioned CDC virologist, a Vatican archivist deciphering a terrifying ancient prophecy, a hardened Nigerian special forces captain, a rogue investigative journalist, and a skeptical Saudi intelligence operative. Each holds a piece of the puzzle. They discover that Korza is not a savior. He is the front man for the "Dragon's Court," an ancient secret society that has orchestrated wars and plagues for centuries, all to steer a weary humanity toward accepting a New World Order of absolute control. The plague, the vaccine, the Mark-it's all part of a meticulously planned descent into a global dictatorship where refusal means being cut off from society entirely: no buying, no selling, no medical care. But as Korza reveals his true, divine ambitions and unleashes unimaginable horrors, this band of unlikely heroes must expose the truth and ignite a resistance. Their desperate fight will take them from the halls of the Vatican to the deserts of Arabia and the heart of a digital Babylon, culminating in a final, apocalyptic showdown on the plains of Megiddo. The Reign of the Antichrist is a chillingly plausible, epic mystery thriller that masterfully blends the relentless pace of a Dan Brown novel with the prophetic depth of The Stand and the global intrigue of The Day of the Jackal. This is more than a story about the end of the world; it's a terrifyingly timely warning about the price of salvation and the fragile line between a utopian dream and a hellish reality. If you thought the end would be fire and brimstone, you were wrong. It will be a whisper. A click. A choice. And the world will gladly make it.
