Opis

Billionaire businessman Raymond Barksley is privy to a startling secret--that the earth's core is heating at a rate that will result in the destruction of the planet. A deeply religious man, Barksley fears the destructive societal forces that will be unleashed when news of the catastrophe is broadcast around the globe, and he formulates a plan to allow mankind to end its days with faith and dignity. His vision widens into a global effort, drawing in political and religious leaders, community activists, and common citizens as they frantically scramble to provide food and security to people of faith and hope. And The Swan Died asks the question "What would you do if you knew you had four months to live?" and answers it in hundreds of ways. As mankind struggles with its final days on earth, powerful forces move toward reconciliation, seeking to end ancient enmities before it is too late. Raymond Barksley sets those forces in motion in his effort to ensure that people of faith have the food and security they need to face their final judgment and to live out their lives with dignity. It is a daunting task to enlist the religious and secular leadership needed for such a vision.
