The assassination of an unpopular president at her re-election inauguration in 2021, who has corrupted the country and eliminated the U.S. Marine Corps, two senior Marine officers and a Gunnery Sergeant pull off the deed in a very unusual way, turning the world into chaos. In a later cataclysmic Iranian invasion of Israel, a group of U.S. Army personnel rescued out of Saudi Arabia crash land in the middle of the Arabian desert. What befalls them-and how they expire and only three survive runs the gamut of human decency and bestiality. Only a supernatural- but plausible-battle brings an end to the world's ordeal.
