Enlightenment Enterprises

Earth descends into the Third World War and the advanced weaponry of the late twenty-first century dispense destruction upon the nations of men. Within the first minutes of conflict, Gabriel Huntingfield, a captain in the United States Navy, experiences the comprehensive ineptitude of his superiors and decides to join the noble mission of a man who is both a genius shipwright and director of a secretive organization, a company that had secretly created the most powerful weapon humanity has ever seen-more destructive than nuclear bombs. One immensely powerful man, Subutai-the supreme leader for the armies of the People's Imperium of China-learns of the secretly made weapon through the covert actions of one of his stealthy agents, and as his forces assail the American coast, he rushes to capture the weapon, to harness its power in his quest to remake humanity in his inhuman image. Gabriel will have his skills of command tested and his loyalties challenged after uncovering a deep-rooted corruption within his nation's government. Ultimately, in his quest to save as many of his fellow Americans as possible, he will look beyond the rapidly failing civilizations of Earth and discover an ancient mystery, a curse that has been hidden within ancient texts and has plagued humanity since the beginning. Nations will fall, leaders will die, but humanity will continue. Approximately 160,000 Words.
