According to an article published in The Washington Post, NBC has recruited a “psychological specialist” to evaluate Mr. Gregory.

On August 14, 2014, NBC made the announcement that Gregory would be leaving the parent network, and that his hosting duties would be taken up by Chuck Todd. According to an article that was published in the New York Post, NBC reportedly paid him $4 million to leave the network, and in exchange, he signed a non-disparagement provision.

Abigail Caldwell, a Christian missionary who is now thirty-four years old, is the lone survivor of an unknown disease that wiped out her town. She emerges from the forest for the first time in her life. Abigail travels to the United States after receiving a puzzling message from her grandfather, only to find that the country has completely abandoned its Christian faith.
Nevertheless, a more significant danger is looming. An artificial intelligence industrialist who is considered to be the most prominent in the world has perfected a method for downloading the human brain into a form made of silicon. Brain transplantation has already begun, and with it comes the possibility of completely doing away with the concept of physical death.
As Abby navigates a society that has become more addicted to stimulating the body than to nurturing the soul, she and Creighton Daniels, a historian troubled by the unexpected death of his father, become the unwitting targets of powerful men who will do anything to further their nefarious goals. Abby and Creighton are pursued by men who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. The spiritual destiny of every last person on earth is currently up in the air.
The shocking near-future science and thought-provoking religious issues merge to create a spellbinding “what-if?” novel in this action-packed thriller that moves at a breakneck pace.
