Forty Days to Armageddon
” The day the Iranians set off a 40 megaton nuke marked the beginning of a new world order. The Western World is panic stricken with the thought that Iran threatens first Israel, then the entire world with nuclear destruction. The Iranian president continues his ranting at the UN that Allah has willed the destruction of the evil Zionists. Old hostilities are tossed aside and new alliances are formed in smoke filled backrooms of the UN, the Kremlin and the White House. Third world nations suddenly become strategically important and the super powers struggle to sort it all out and battle for position. The stakes could not be higher. “

Preserve Protect & Defend
”While investigating corruption and evil alliances within the American government, an assassination attempt on Vice President Aaron Banner leaves him in a coma. Only a week earlier, Aaron gave his chief of staff, Paula Brackett, an envelope with instructions to, “Open only if something happens to me.” Paula soon finds herself fighting not only for her country, but for her life. While Aaron is in a coma, he is transported in time to personally experience key moments in history. Aaron is taught unforgettable lessons from some of the wisest men who have ever lived—George Washington, Christopher Columbus, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and others. This book beautifully blends remarkable research and details of the founding of America with an inspiring and engaging story.

As irrational behaviour prevails, the streets, subways, and restaurants have become dangerous places. The White House wants to know what the hell is going on. Behind the scenes, Sarah, a respected ghost writer and single mother, is unwittingly lured by the mysterious Ethan Cross into writing the last book in a trilogy for a best-selling author. Cross’s boss, Mark Payne, a ruthless and ambitious corporate giant, has a secret deadly plan to change the world as we know it—and he must be stopped. From New York to Washington, and to Sydney, Australia, the chase is on.”

It doesn't take long for those left behind to learn that this tragedy is part of a global event. As people panic, civilization begins to crumble. Luckily, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Daniel Grimshaw, has a plan to restore order. But first, every remaining person must be accounted for and tagged with a mark on their right hand. Unaware of his responsibilities, seventeen-year-old Micah has been preparing for this day. His mother trained him and provided him with the proper tools, but she neglected to tell Micah about the family legacy, his legacy. Now that his mother is among the missing, will Micah ever discover who he is, or what he needs to do to save what's left of humanity from the hellfire of perdition?”
