About this listen

The popular podcast, Mercury’s Wake – Before Chaos is a character-driven story based on the first book from the author's sci-fi novel, Mercury's Wake – The Long Weekend, delivering a reality-bending four-day journey into backstories, premonitions, murder, high stakes gambling, parallel universes, an alien prophesy, interdimensional travel, metaphor, and ordinary people compelled by the reflections of a fictitious character in a book found in an abandoned Cadillac just up from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

Nothing like a long weekend just before an apocalypse…

In four days, change emerges on the world horizon as unseen forces challenge Earth, and the paths of eight strangers merge onto a supernatural freeway headed toward a diabolical event at the Pompeii Amphitheater, Las Vegas, Nevada, just your usual four-day weekend in Las Vegas.

“It’s strange to sit here with a glass of wine, watching a storm of locusts mindlessly smear their guts on the living room window. It’s gruesome and mesmerizing. Funny how life goes on despite horrifying signs.”
