Y2K: Five Minutes to Midnight
New Year's Eve, 1999. As the world holds its breath on the cusp of a new millennium, physics student Matthew Thorne steps away from a party to use the bathroom. A simple fall spirals into something far more sinister - suddenly, everyone has vanished. The streets are empty, time itself seems frozen, and impossible lights dance in the sky above.
Armed with only an ancient medallion and aided by a mysterious soldier named Falcon, Matthew races to uncover the truth behind the mass disappearance. His desperate search for answers leads him on an impossible journey from Earth to the Moon and beyond, where he discovers that reality itself may be unraveling. At the center of it all is his girlfriend Anya, whose fate becomes intertwined with forces beyond human comprehension.
But nothing is what it seems. As Matthew delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a web of deception involving his mentor Professor Newman and an ancient prophecy that could determine the future of humanity. With time running out, Matthew must make an impossible choice - one that will decide not just his own fate, but that of our entire species.
Y2K: Five Minutes to Midnight is a gripping science fiction thriller that blends cosmic horror with profound questions about free will, human consciousness, and the price of salvation. In the tradition of The X-Files and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, this novel explores the dark side of alien contact while delivering a pulse-pounding adventure that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
