The book begins with Larry the romantic and then follows with the challenges of doing and living and questioning what we do to keep on trucking. Then it goes to quieter times when even nothing of consequence can gain your attention and appreciation for being alive. Still reality has its cold cut into our existence which is displayed in a battle poem and a walk on Tianamen Square. From there beliefs are what carry us on through our lives. The last chapter includes Haiku poems that compress so much about the serenity of nature in just three lines. Read aloud they are very much like enjoying a fine wine.

The story begins in Ireland. There was a mighty, evil king named Giardino, who ruled everyone by cracking a whip. He lived in a castle surrounded by a moat. A fire breathing dragon operated the long drawbridge. The king's pride and joy were his garden, which was visited by people from all over the country. One day another king came to visit and to admire the beautiful flowers. He told King Giardino that he did not have the most beautiful flowers. There was a lady who grew an enchanting flower in her garden which she called "The Love Flower". King Giardino sent his knights to find this "Love Flower." They brought it back and the king had it planted in his garden. He was so impressed with the flower's amazing colors. However, the next morning, when he went to admire his "Love Flower", he found all of its petals on the ground. The king viewed this as a curse and immediately went with his knights to find the lady who was growing these "Love Flowers". They couldn't even find her house, let alone the lady. When they returned to the castle, he found his dragon so sick he could not even breathe fire. He was so upset, he retired to his chamber. Later that night, an angel appeared to him and said, "Look at all your evil ways and realize all the suffering you have caused." That visit from the angel changed King Giardino forever...

Aunque el boletín de noticias confirmó su decisión de evacuar, Elise no quería escuchar otro minuto de pronósticos, preparativos y predicciones. Brad buscó hasta encontrar un canal de fácil escucha y condujo por la lluvia en carreteras sorprendentemente desiertas. Aparentemente, el resto de la ciudad había prestado atención a las advertencias mucho antes que los Steiners. Mientras el automóvil se aventuraba a través de la tranquila calma antes de la tormenta, los niños dormían mientras sus padres y abuelos permanecían en silencio, mirando hacia las tierras húmedas de Luisiana que bordean la autopista interestatal.En un momento de su solitario viaje, una caravana de unidades de paramédicos y ambulancias los adelantó por el carril izquierdo. Elise sintió que su piel se erizaba mientras los veía pasar, imaginando cuán asustados debían estar los pacientes, lidiando no solo con el dolor e incertidumbre de una enfermedad, sino también con su única dependencia de completos extraños para encontrar un refugio seguro durante la tormenta. Cada uno de esos pacientes era la madre o el padre de alguien, un abuelo o un hermano, o peor aún, el hijo de alguien. "Gracias, Dios", susurró de nuevo y se volvió para mirar a cada miembro de su familia, como si tuviera que asegurarse de que todos todavía estuvieran con ella.

It was never the intention of the author for this novel to be perceived to be anything more than a fictitious representation of Scriptural prophecy in a modern-day setting. Since prophetical interpretations vary greatly, arguments could be made that the storyline incorporates inaccurate details regarding the Antichrist and end times. I will not debate this point. With that said, it was the intention of the author to present a theoretically feasible and plausible scenario that incorporates the technological capabilities of today's society. And, to demonstrate how those capabilities could be used to promote the interests of a person or group at the expense of humanity. That is why all the events were written with a critical eye toward whether they were realistically achievable within man's limited capabilities. Eric Dent, the oil consortium, Sheik Omani and Sylvan had similar, albeit not identical, goals, and all were willing to sacrifice humanity to achieve those goals within those constraints. When the Antichrist comes, he will have at minimum paranormal and possibly supernatural capabilities. The restrictions that were placed on the characters in this novel will not be placed on him. Prophecy is clear that he will be able to rally the world, en masse, around his person and his initiatives. It is your choice whether you are prepared.
