At last, the much awaited sequel to last year's blockbuster hit, "A Secret Life." Tony Hance was a good kid, two years out of high school and grappling with his future.

In "Countdown to Armageddon," we met Scott Harter. There was absolutely nothing special about Scott. He was just an ordinary guy living in the suburbs with a typical family and a dog named Duke. If anything set Scott apart from everybody else, it was his extraordinary luck. It was that luck that helped him stumble across the cryptic notes of a mysterious missing professor.

The world has finally thawed. It's been seven long years since a meteorite called Saris 7 struck the earth and plunged it into a nuclear winter. Most of the world has perished.

They aren't ready to give it up, though. So they go to war... literally, and use guerilla tactics to take out the...
