ASIN B00MWZDSDC moved to the most recent edition
SOMETHING UNIMAGINABLE: A very old man who calls himself "Aman" divulges to a few that the end of the world as we know it is suddenly at hand. Something unimaginable has happened that will change everything in a matter of days. It will begin, he says, when all those whose nature promotes violence and killing are purged.
At dawn Aman's prophetic warning proves true. People throughout the world who have ever taken a life, or who have advocated violence against another, are now dead with no apparent cause. World leaders who instigated deadly hostilities succumb, including the President of the United States. Military chains of command of all nations are broken. Violent skirmishes and territorial wars cease. And no one knows why.
A WORLDWIDE MANHUNT: Meanwhile, four seemingly unconnected strangers learn that Aman has only three days to reach a remote region in Iran. Something lies beneath the desert that reveals mankind's origins and its destiny. But who created it and why? And what role is it now playing in the cataclysmic events that have plunged the world into chaos?
As the four accompany Aman on a dangerous journey amidst a worldwide manhunt, his ominous warning becomes clear: the power that created the world can also inadvertently destroy it.

What an exciting book. This is the kind of novel you live in, you breath in and try to keep up with, intellectually. enthralling and exciting, uplifting and mysterious, Joseph Massucci holds your mind in his hands and pulls you into a maelstrom of ideas and enigmas. I loved the characters, the action and the adventure. A captivating read, I won't soon forget.

Not bad
very different from my usual books, I tend to stick with crime mystery type, but it was entertaining. not too many twists and turns.
