I pray to God the novel you hold in your hands never comes true.

Certainly not as written.

Dead Heat is a work of fiction. I didn’t see it in a vision in the middle of the night. I made it up. It does not represent the future as I wish to see it. It represents a future I fear could be coming, and soon. I hope I am wrong.

Despite the fact that numerous fictional elements in my previous novels have seemed to come true, I am not a clairvoyant, a psychic, or a “modern Nostradamus,” as some have suggested. I am simply a storyteller. Dead Heat is the fifth and final novel in the series that began with The Last Jihad, and like the other four, it is based on a series of very real and increasingly serious geopolitical threats facing the United States and our allies today, as well as on a series of very real and deeply sobering prophecies written in the pages of the Bible centuries ago.

So far as such geopolitical threats are concerned, it is not my contention that we are necessarily destined to see such horrors come to pass. Hopefully our nation’s political, military, intelligence, and law enforcement leaders will have the necessary wisdom, courage, and sense of urgency to counter and neutralize these threats, and many others like them, in time.
