Rising Phoenix is the third book in the Visions of David Palmer series. After neutralizing David Palmer, Falin and the Brotherhood are preparing for the most destructive phase in their pursuit for ultimate power and world dominance. Destroying the world's economies and starting a world war that will leave freedom in shambles will also propel Falin to the position of global dictator. The only thing standing in Falin's way is the Alliance, and Falin has concocted a plan to remove that final obstacle. The hope of the world now hangs on whether David Palmer and Madlyn Walker can rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
