Synopsis

DreamWatch.com began as Kate’s hobby, a site where everyday people write true paranormal experiences. It was supposed to be fun—until premonitions from around the world predict the same catastrophic attack.

The last time reluctant psychic Kate Kasabian revealed a prediction, people were hurt. But with thousands of lives at risk, she has no choice but to badger Jack, her skeptical FBI brother, to investigate. He refuses to help.

When she sets off to prove her suspicions, he thinks he’s heard the last of her supernatural silliness—until the legendary Matt Chase from Counterterror alerts agents to an imminent threat. Every detail of Chase’s briefing is identical to Kate’s warnings.

Tracking clues from New England to Prague—and beyond, Jack and Chase draw on intelligence, evidence and technology to stop the U.S. plot, while Kate relies on visions and premonitions, and stories submitted to her paranormal website. Prophecy and protocol are forced into an uneasy alliance to stop a mass-casualty attack on American soil before it’s too late.
