Explanation During Books Grim Reaper: End of Days

Patrick "Shep" Shepherd was a promising major league rookie baseball pitcher when September 11, 2001 hit. Shaken by the attacks, Shep leaves behind his soul mate and newborn daughter to enlist in the Armed Forces. Eleven years and four deployments later, Shep finds himself in Manhattans VA hospital. His left arm is gone, his wife and daughter are gone, and his tarnished soul is haunted by the nightmares of war.

December 21st: While world leaders meet at the UN, Mary Klipot, a bio-hazard level-4 scientist working at the CIA labs in Fort Dietrick, enters Manhattan with Scythe, a swift acting version of the Black Death developed to annihilate America's enemies abroad. Believing God has chosen her to bring forth the End of Days, Mary infects herself with Scythe, unleashing a pandemic. Officials rush to seal off the island, trapping three million people... the President among them, with the only vaccine now in Shep's possession.

Determined to use the vaccine to rescue his wife and child, Shep and his guide, Virgil Shechinah, trek through the plague-infested and nightmarish neighborhoods of Manhattan, which mirrors the "Nine Circles of Hell" portrayed in Dante's Inferno.

Plagued by greed, corruption, and two endless wars, it is man's ego that has brought about the End of days, unleashing the Grim Reaper upon the earth... and the Angel of Death is stalking Patrick Shepherd.

Article Epithetical Books Grim Reaper: End of Days

Very detailed. A little gross if u dont like rats.

What do you get when you take present day events, add just the right amount of conspiracy theories, mix in a dash of plague history and top it off with an end-of-the-world prophecy? You end up with a well-written novel by Steve Alten.In Altens novel, Grim Reaper: End of Days, death walks the Earth, or at least Manhattan, when a manufactured strain of the bubonic plague is taken from a government laboratory and unleashed on the city in the form of a modern day Typhoid Mary. As the death toll

Just, just awful. Basically, Alten writes as if he was just forced to watch and then memorize every word of a 24-hour, looped feed of Racheal Maddow melting down, interspersed with trailers of Michael Moore's latest "film." What did I just ATTEMPT to read? I get it, authors insert politics into storylines. BUT C'MON MAN! Also, For the LOVE OF GOD, do some research when writing military characters. The "Vet" protagonist is comically cliche, and as an actual veteran, I can say with total certainty

I couldn't get past the third chapter. Definatly not one of Steve's best books. I returned it for a refund it was that bad :(

It was a well written story but a strange one none the less. Our main "hero" has to make it through New York to find his family hours after a woman working with diseases releases the plague. He has his therapist along with him and they talk about cleaning your soul so that you can move on after you have died. He keeps seeing the Grim Reaper throughout the book and tries to understand the meaning of it all. It was an interesting idea along the lines of good vs evil but "The Stand" did it better.

At first glance, Grim Reaper: End of Days has all the potential attributes to make it a very thrilling horror/thriller novel. Obviously its written by Steve Alten, so its predicted it should be highly researched and well written. Secondly, the plot sounds like the makings of a summer blockbuster: A deadly plague released amongst the crowded confines of Manhattan island. And finally, just look at the cover. The grinning visage of the Grim Reaper glaring over the skyline of New York shows the

I could not put this book down! A very interesting story with religious, spiritual (yes, they are two different things), political themes that brings Dante's Inferno into our world. A thoughtful story with characters that you grow to care about. Add in the release of a biological weapon on island of Manhattan and you have a excellent tale that brings satisfaction.
