Florida, 2026. Will Piper, former FBI agent, is retired and living a life of leisure, his days filled with sun and fishing, his thoughts far from the notorious "Doomsday Killer" case that vaulted him into minor celebrity status fifteen years earlier. But according to what that investigation uncovered at a secret government site in Nevada, the world will change irrevocably on February 9, 2027. Is it the End of Days? No one knows what the Horizon, as it's been called, will bring, and much of the world is suspended between pre-apocalyptic hedonism and despair.
When a new Doomsday Killer emerges-inexplicably targeting only Chinese names--and Will's teenage son, Phillip, disappears after receiving a mysterious email from the other side of the world, Will is instantly drawn back into the case. The breathless, high-stakes adventure that Will is pulled into spans centuries and continents, and may at last reveal what the Library cannot about the future of humankind…if there is to be a future...
I finished this in just two days - would have been less if I hadn't had my niece over for the day :) The third book about Will Piper, and just as I had hoped, this one focused on "The Horizon" in 2027. I'm not entirely sure what I thought of the resolution... it didn't come entirely out of the blue, but unlike most things in book two, there were no hints of it in the previous books either.
However, it did leave the door open for Glenn Cooper to continue his series, so I'm not entirely unhappy about it either :) I've loved the three books so far, and would be very eager to read more, should he decide to continue it. Sure, the first one was the best, because of the mystery of Area 51, but suspense-wise I thought the other two just as good
