Produktbeschreibung
In 2148, a charismatic politician, Reuben Rogov, wins the presidency. During his first term, he brings peace to the Mideast, stares down Russia and China, solves the border crisis, and conquers the Phoenix-75 virus. Due to his unparalleled success, he is viewed as a sociopolitical messiah, and no opponent dares to run against him.

Once Rogov secures his second term by acclimation, multiple problems arise. Most Americans trust the President, but a few think he created the problems to control the people.

A young Houston couple, Darien and Marisa, are caught up in this melee. Marisa, a budding politician, moves to Washington to work for NatGov, but Darien, a struggling Sci-fi author, stays behind. Chaos disrupts their lives as they attempt to maintain a long-distance relationship.

Darien's grandfather believes a passage from the Book of Daniel describes the situation: "By means of peace, he shall destroy many."

Is this stark prophecy about to come true?

Autorenporträt
I was born in East Texas a long time ago and grew up with a sister and a brother. When I was five years old, I found a tattered science book with several pages missing. The first intact page showed a monarch butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. I believe that incident was the ah-ha moment that drew me into the world of science.Upon completing high school, I joined the Air Force and served as a jungle survival instructor in Panama for three years. While in Panama, I wrote a weekly gossip column for the base newspaper. Following my military service, I enrolled in Stephen F. Austin State University and got married. After graduating with a degree in biology and chemistry, we moved to Houston where our only child, a son, was born.During the early years of my career as a chemist and biologist, I wrote numerous technical articles and research reports, some of which were published in trade journals. However, during that time, I wrote no fiction.Seventy-five years after the monarch butterfly incident, I retired from the corporate world and began to write fiction as a hobby.
