Oxford, 2023: A sudden wave of unexplained disappearances sparks panic, leaving society on the brink of collapse. A lorry crashes on the M40, causing one of the worst pileups in years, yet the driver is nowhere to be found. In the days that follow, millions more people vanish without explanation, leaving investigators puzzled and plunging the government into crisis. Amid claims of alien abductions and prophecies of a biblical nature, Josh believes there may be another explanation involving time travel. But his theories will have to wait, because as the population dwindles at a terrifying pace, those who remain are plunged into a desperate battle for survival. Gone to the Rapture is the action-packed fourteenth and penultimate story in this epic series, following a rich cast of characters from youth to old age, their lives intertwining across decades, alternate realities, and the very fabric of time.
