As a series of natural disasters rocks Taiwan, a man with the ability to predict catastrophes uncovers a plot to intentionally sink the island nation beneath the sea.

What if one day we could predict natural disasters? Would humanity as a whole be better prepared to face what comes, or, might some people use this knowledge for personal gain?

After surviving a flood that killed three of his high school classmates, Lin Shao-Heng found he had gained the ability to see the future. Having always had a way with words, Lin Shao-Heng becomes a fortune teller, opening his own “prognostication agency”. What no one realizes is that the spirits of his three dead friends have taken up residence in his office, using their powers to assist with his clients.

One day, a mysterious package containing a tablet computer arrives at the modest agency. After pressing the power button, Lin Shao-Heng discovers this is no ordinary tablet – it is a miraculous device that foretells natural disasters. After announcing his prediction of a volcanic eruption on the outskirts of Taipei, Lin Shao-Heng becomes the focus of media attention, which leads to him getting entangled in a secret plot to profit from future natural disasters. Where did the tablet come from, and why did it end up in Lin Shao-Heng’s hands? And, what should Lin Shao-Heng do now that he foresees that Taiwan will be struck by a catastrophe of biblical proportions?

Freely mixing elements of the science-fiction and crime genres, The Disaster Prophecy Agency is a fast-paced thrill-ride with well-defined emotional ties between characters. Cleverly incorporating familiar disaster scenarios, the novel dares to envision the psychological state of humanity in the face of a starkly believable doomsday prophecy.
