Opis

In New York City, a new World Trade Center has arisen from the ruins of the old World Trade Center, but it's not long before it too collapses into flames. Arab suicidal bombers drive six tractor trailers loaded with explosives into the World Trade Center, prompting an American invasion of Syria in retaliation.

A guerrilla war is being fought in Syria against the United States. The American people are outraged at the staggering number of American casualties, and President Weed's position in public opinion polls declines in the midst of the presidential election campaign, making his reelection not certain. Adding to his problems is the presence of a vituperative antiwar third party candidate.

In an attempt to win the election and to win the war in Syria, Vice President Regina Ropey, President Weed's mentor, devises a plan to completely eradicate Islam. To weaken the Arabs' faith in their religion, Ropey proposes that the sacred stone of the Muslims, the Black Stone of Ka'ba, be destroyed. Will Ropey's bold plan work, or is the United States on a collision course with a dark fate?
