Thirty years in the future, the U.S.
government has turned into a tyranny as the EPA and TSA grow with ever more
power.
Brian, the main character, tells his story from first
person point of view. His work with the FBI involves mostly cyber terrorism and
actual cases of potential real world terrorism. Eventually, his wife gives
birth to their third child, who has Down's Syndrome, which does not please the
U.S. Health Administration because there are rules and regulations set-up in
cases like these to prevent "genetic freaks" as they like to call
them, from sucking up a lot of Health Admin money. Because the Atwoods are born
again Christians, they never considered aborting the baby, so now the Health
people have to take him away to deal with the problem later.
Meanwhile, the Secret Service decides to recruit Brian to
be the personal agent of the President of the United States, David Collins, due
to his great work involving a case that dealt with terrorism that would've
involved Offutt Air Force Base. Brian's faith is tested every day as he deals
with a man who has no morals from what Brian can see, and is tested even more
when his wife finds out that she's dying from a fast growing form of breast
cancer. Trouble in the rest of the world occurs as Iran attempts to nuke
Israel, which fails spectacularly, so Israel takes care of the problem. This
brings condemnation from everyone, including the U.S., which takes the side of
Iran.
When the re-election of Collins doesn't turn out the way
he wanted it, he and his people declare the election nullified because of
supposed "irregularities" with the ballots. Collins claims that the
new President-elect may take the seat sometime in the middle of next year, if
everything looks to be sorted out. Collins purges his staff of what he considers
unloyal people, including Brian. At the same time, he loses his wife, but
regains the son he thought he had lost.
Brian moves back to his family home in Nebraska, where we
follow what happens as the country slowly falls apart. Events play out as Brian
and his family sees the End Times approach.
