The world is on the brink of a cataclysm that will change human history forever. Known by many names—the Rapture, the Vanishing, the Great Disappearance, the Blink—what unfolds is far more terrifying than anyone could have imagined. Blink follows an intricate web of characters in the days leading up to and through the first few months of the Rapture. Scientists, government officials, clergy, and ordinary citizens find themselves grappling with a sudden reality they are ill-prepared to face: the disappearance of millions of people in the blink of an eye.
