 ==Summary==
+"''Armageddon has come and gone. The Middle East is a desolation. Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Damascus, Beirut are readioactive slag. As the poisoned clouds drift west, anarchy and random savagery precede them. Mankind prepares sullenly for extinction.
-"''Armageddon has come and gone; Israel and its surrounding countries have been returned to desert. In London, the architect of much of the desolation, Paul Buher, who has at the end turned to the true God, watches Damien Thorn's son take his father's name and position at the head of the Thorn Corporation. Buher now understands the false prophecy that the thousand year peace would be as one day, and, knowing he has only a few days to live, sets the scene for the final destruction of the Antichrist. The man who seems destined to do the job is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and author, Jack Mason, who is researching the Thorns for his new book, and is coming dangerously close to the truth.''"
