Sighs of Despair: The Fifth Phase Series - Book 3

“Sighs of Despair” is book three in “The Fifth Phase” series. According to Toynbee’s Theory of Decay, a civilization experiences distinct phases during its lifecycle. But the average person is far too busy to concern themselves with the course of an entire civilization. There are phone calls to make, texts to send, emails to answer, trending online videos to watch, and bills to pay.

Tom and Morgan Crenshaw are two such people. They’re struggling just to maintain the coin shop they own and operate in the suburbs of Chicago. But a series of economic, political, and global terror events will bring the United States cataclysmically crashing into the fifth and final phase of Toynbee's Theory, and Tom and Morgan with it. And while the USA might consider itself immune to the same axiomatic truths that consumed the world’s mightiest empires… …it's not.
