Cosmic Locusts by Joel Keene

"Cosmic Locusts is the story of an apocalyptic vision of humankind's approaching traumatic rebirth based on a pattern of numerous Nostradamus' quatrains, the biblical book of Joel, and the Mayan calendar. These diverse ancient sources converge in the tale of a scientist turned reluctant prophet in which the end of everththing is only the beginning.

With a one-two punch, earth's close encounter with a comet and an energy burst from the Milky Way's black hole center ends life, as it was known before. All of man's technological devices are gone. With old distractions removed and new gifts bestowed in the form of spiritual acuity, man is left to develop a new worldview."

Lots of joy for doomsday aficionados!
