PACKARD
New York author JAKE PACKARD will speak about and sign his new novel,
The
Manhattan Prophet.


Set in the near future in New York City,
Packard's debut novel is set in a world where doomsayers'
predictions have come true and where a limited nuclear
exchange between the West and radical Islam has traumatized
society and left civilization in a new Dark Age. In the midst
of this darkness emerges Salem Jones, who, from his lifelong
home in Rikers Island Prison, has started a global spiritual
movement to spread a message of faith to the downcast
surviving billions. His journey through hope and persecution
takes him to the streets, and into an all-out war of good
versus evil.
