A Journal of the Crazy Year

A Journal of the Crazy Year

THIS BOOK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAKE BELIEVE. Some action-adventure novels have a ripped-from-the-headlines feel. With A Journal of the Crazy Year it's the other way around: Real-life events are ripping headlines from the novel. By February of this year (2015) it was already eerily prophetic enough to warrant a nearly two-hour discussion on Coast to Coast AM in front of 3 million radio listeners. And that was BEFORE headlines announced a homicidal airline pilot and the return of the sleeping sickness, exactly as predicted in the novel.

John Cruz awakens to find himself in unfamiliar surroundings. He learns that he's been in a mental hospital for nearly three years â€“ confined there for a crime he does not remember, a crime the hospital staff refuses to discuss with him. But then he discovers something even more bizarre. While he and other mental patients like him have been mysteriously recovering, the rest of the world has begun a descent into madness, thanks to a mysterious disease that causes many of its victims to go violently insane. Meanwhile, overhead a spectacular apparition splits the skies, as the largest comet in recorded history makes a close approach to the planet Earth. And some believe there's a connection. Now John has just one goal: to protect the woman he loves from the growing chaos. And to go forward, he will have to repair his relationship with God.

By acclaimed sci-fi writer Forrest Carr, named as a Kirkus Reviews 2015 "Author to Watch," A Journal of the Crazy Year is based on a real-life pandemic that has struck twice before in human history--and which may have recently returned, exactly as foreshadowed in the novel. As Kirkus Reviews put it, the novel is "A great case made for the idea that the end isn't nigh--it's already here."

â€œThis is a unique take on a 'zombie' type of book which made it fun and interesting! ....The twists and turns make it hard to put down (thanks for no sleep that night when I found myself finishing it up at 4 am on a work night!) and the ending was just so unexpectedly PERFECT.â€
"RandiTS," 5-Star Amazon.com reader review

â€œI donâ€™t usually like a lot of the Sci-Fi horror zombie type books that come across my desk.... This one surprised me. I loved it.... Will look forward to more from this author.â€
