You have to be kidding me.

That's what Will Botolph thinks when he opens his fortune cookie. The terrifying message is clear: You die soon.

Is he going insane? Or is a mysterious curse forcing him to board a plane that will send him plummeting to his death?

Mathematics teacher Botolph is supposed to be having a relaxing vacation. Instead, he uncovers the key to an ancient cipher buried for millennia in the depths of African lore. With the help of his sister, a linguistic anthropologist, he unwittingly brings the forgotten prophecy to life-a prophecy dictating Botolph's every move for the next eight days. In a breathless attempt to outrun his fate, Botolph finds his friends and colleagues conspiring behind his back to send him to his death.

When Botolph finds out the real reason for his trip on the doomed flight, his friends' bizarre behavior becomes clear. Can Botolph avoid his certain fate? Or is he-like his parents-doomed to die in a plane crash?

WILL'S IMPACT follows one man's rapid transformation from skeptic to believer.
