The Defiled

The Book of Revelation warned humanity of Seven Plagues that would destroy the human race. It foretold the coming apocalypse that would one day descend upon the Earth. The only surviving victim of a terrorist outrage, Professor Charles Grader lies helpless, comatose to the world around him. And yet his mind does not rest. Unable to scream, unable to flee, he sleeps, trapped in his own mind and can only endure the horrific end of the world visions that haunt his every moment. Then one day his eyes open and he finds himself broken, wasted and alone. The world has moved on, and in the three years of his coma, Grader has been all but forgotten. Or so it seems. Virtually bedridden in his hospital room, he is visited in the dead of night by a woman called Valentina, a deadly and mysterious stranger who tells Grader a truth that threatens to shatter whatever is left of his sanity. He is one of the "Chosen", one of the few who is to be offered a chance to escape the fate that is about to befall the whole of mankind. For the Seven Plagues are not coming, they are already here…and only Valentina can offer him any kind of salvation. Who will live and who will die as the Seven Plagues are unleashed upon an unsuspecting Earth?
