The last verse of Chapter 13 of the last book of the Bible has a riddle that has gone unsolved for 2,000 years: Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. APOC exposes the reader to absolute proof from the Bible itself that for 2,000 years the Antichrist has always been Jesus Christ. I know that seems impossible, but the proof is irrefutable. If that troubles you, this story is not for you. Otherwise, read on, see for yourself the proof, and discover why the Apocalypse is the beginning of days, not the end.

Computer security expert John Manning has big problems. Struggling with crushing debt, shaky mental health, and a prison record for cybercrimes, he’s out of work and desperate, but an opportunity to solve all of his problems lands in his lap. There’s only one catch—he must betray an old friend. John travels to Salt Lake City, ostensibly to reconnect with his friend, but he’s there to gather evidence proving for her family that she’s needed mental health treatment since waking from a coma. When he arrives, she introduces him to a riddle she learned while in the coma: Why is the number of the Antichrist and the number of Jesus so similar? John sets out to prove the riddle is nonsense. Instead, he finds it’s part of an ancient, multifaceted numerological puzzle that could challenge a growing global threat and change everything. Will John betray his friend to save himself? Or will he help her unravel an ancient numerological mystery that could unite the world?

While the story is a work of fiction, all numerology is 100% historically accurate.
