World Aflame

Throughout the world, in every nation, mysterious thundering fires erupt in oil fields, refineries, coal mines and on national borders. The holocaust is so tyrannical, that communication, energy and travel experienced in the 21st Century is suddenly ended. Two years prior to this global disaster Rick Landis is hired as a field reporter at The Sun Times newspaper. The first person he meets prior to his interview is the beautiful Sydney Marston. Sydney is the Chief Assistant to Charles Chuck Wainwright the owner/publisher of The Sun Times. Over the next year Ricks reputation as an exceptional reporter grows and so does his interest in Sydney Marston. But he has questions: Why does she always say Have a blessed day. Is she a Jesus freak or what? Next there is a mysterious meeting with Chuck Wainwright. He reveals to Rick that he is a leader in a secret underground government militia. But what government? Rick hesitantly accepts an overseas assignment. However, he becomes trapped there as the global fires break out and all transportation is terminated. Soon after that complication Rick, and his photographer pal Marty, learn that an army of giant hybrid soldiers is on the Syrian/Israeli border. They are there preparing to invade Israel. Murder, treachery, betrayal and war, continue in the books final chapters, leading to a surprising finish. Through it all, however, Rick continues to dream of a future with Sydney Marston.
