FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather 
leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock 
spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant 
fathers' waiting room and his dying father's bedside. It's a strange 
vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of the storm's 
fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speaks coherently for 
the first and last time since his stroke." "What he says before he 
dies is that there will be five dark days in the life of his 
grandson - five dates whose terrible events Jimmy will have to 
prepare himself to face. The first is to occur in his twentieth year; 
the second in his twenty-third year; the third in his twenty-eighth; 
the fourth in his twenty-ninth; the fifth in his thirtieth." "Rudy is 
all too ready to discount his father's last words as a dying man's 
delusional ramblings. But when he discovers that Josef also predicted 
the time of his grandson's birth to the minute, as well as his exact 
height and weight, and the fact that Jimmy would be born with 
syndactyly - the unexplained anomaly of fused digits - on his left 
foot. Suddenly the old man's predictions take on a chilling 
significance." What terrifying events await Jimmy on these five dark 
days? What nightmares will he face? What challenges must he survive? 
As the novel unfolds, picking up Jimmy's story at each of these 
crisis points, the path he must follow will defy every expectation. 
And with each crisis he faces, he will move closer to a fate he could 
never have imagined. For who Jimmy Tock is and what he must 
accomplish on the five days when his world turns is a mystery as 
dangerous as it is wondrous - a struggle against an evil so dark and 
pervasive, only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine 
through.
