The Furnaces of the Apocalypse Alberto Trevin

"The Furnaces of The Apocalypse" is the first of a three-part saga which starts with a major terror plot that sets off an apocalyptic domino effect worldwide. Late in 2008, as the American economy teeters on the edge of financial disaster, an extremist group and an enemy state abroad, have taken notice and join forces to bring down its bitter enemy while it is vulnerable. With financial problems of their own and dissidence, the two collude to land a decisive blow which they hope will eliminate their American problem once and for all. When the major terrorist attack is discovered by American intelligence, the directors of the Central Intelligence and National Security Agencies have an idea of their very own. To go through with it, they look to persuade an unpopular President to play along with the plot and thus exploit a potential situation which might help sway popular opinion in favor of him and justify the lighting of the lucrative furnaces of the apocalypse. After they fail, they go after the next best alternative, a money-deprived military. The military plays along, but not before the controlled attack goes very wrong and all are left scrambling and looking for answers, all except for one, who has apocalyptic plans of his own. The attack finally persuades the American president to go after the perpetrators for an inevitable showdown with a very powerful Middle Eastern country.
