Final Crossing is the debut fictional novel to come out from author Carter Wilson. In this story, readers meet the main characters of Rudiger and Jonas Osborne.

Rudiger is a troubled adult that has many problems and is a threat to those around him. He kills people, but he does not do it out of a desire to kill them. He does it because rather than want to, he needs to kill them. The last of his soul in childhood was taken by the Preacherman, a sadistic figure. It was then that he lost the last bit of himself for good.

Now he’s an adult and his state makes him commit horrible acts that he cannot rationalize. Rudiger wants nothing more than the End of Days to arrive so that he can finally be released from pain. God has talked to him and told him that the Final Judgment will come to pass if he can crucify The One. However, Rudiger is not informed on who this person is and so it is up to him to figure it out.

He’s on his own journey that will take him to different places in the world while Rudiger attempts to bring on the world’s ending. Meanwhile, there’s another man out there that knows just what this tormented person is capable of doing. Jonas Osborne is a Senatorial Chief of Staff and an Army Ranger.

In Somalia almost twenty years ago, Jonas saw what Rudiger pulled off during a firefight. However, he knows that it isn’t going to be too long before Rudiger targets him as well. As a result, Jonas hires a psychic criminologist that is also beautiful to try and help figure out what Rudiger’s doing and where his next cross will be put up.

It’s only a matter of time before Rudiger and Jonas meet up. Little do they know that their encounter will take place on an international stage with a peace talks summit. As their paths slowly start to lead to the point where they cross, who will come out on top in the midst of their confrontation? Can Osborne take down his foe? Or will Rudiger come out on top?
