Journalist Riley MacCormick enjoys spending weekends at his rural home in Virginia west of DC. His fiancee Rebekah Storm agrees to tie the knot with him, but life takes a vicious twist. Cataclysmic events in the U.S. threaten to unravel its superpower status, sending devastating shockwaves through world governments and markets. Riley creates a political firestorm, when he reveals the identity of the "son of perdition" in his column. The sinister night invasion of his home by the U.S. government sends him scrambling for the safety of the forests. There he unifies his friends into a dynamic force to be reckoned with, as he renews his battle against the enemy of men's souls. Life in the USA is dramatically impacted by the unfolding narrative in Israel and the middle-east. The serpent/dragon has wrested control of the world to himself through his servant lord Shachar. There is much glory to be had, but Riley is in it for a much nobler cause. He resolves to fight to the death if necessary. Mickey McConnell lives in Georgia USA. Life experiences for Mickey include: being father of a wonderful son and a wonderful daughter, having terrific parents, being a preacher for 18 years, pastor for two years, prison ministry, business man in the home construction industry and columnist in his local newspaper.
