or five centuries, a rogue religious faction has manipulated society worldwide with the goal of creating a single government with jurisdiction over all humanity.

It's up to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Giacomo DeLaurentis, to save the free world from such cataclysmic control. However, he's still grieving betrayal by one of his closest associates which led to the murder of his wife and unborn sons. He wrestles constantly with thoughts of revenge. Ever the consummate serviceman, Giacomo moves begrudgingly past his pain to thwart impending societal collapse.

The scenario is grim: massive death by annihilation, global anarchy, and irreversible cultural disintegration. Giacomo must overcome the seventy-seven diabolical leaders entrenched in the highest echelons of international government, business, and religion. To do so, he relies on his allies in the Vatican, U.S. military, trusted friends, and family. They're faced with a dreadful dilemma and the feeling that all hope might be lost. An ethical dilemma must be confronted, can they gamble with the lives of a few to save multitudes?
