In the Hindu Kush Mountains that divide Afghanistan from Pakistan,
a new Islamic prophet plans the destruction of the Great Satan. The
prophet Khalid Ibn'abd Al-aziz Assaud reveals that Allah has shown
him the path to a new Islamic order. He intends to create a new
Islamic world by bringing the wrath of Allah down on the infidels
in ways they don't expect. Educated in the United States and
tempered in the wars of Afghanistan, Assaud knows America's
military strengths and its economic weaknesses. Americans' dreams
are kept alive with debt-if you destroy the banks of the Unites
States, you bring down the enemy. Dr. Ross Palmer, a decorated
Marine and noted economist, leads an elite unit of the Federal
Reserve. Formed to respond quickly to attacks on United States
financial institutions, the unit has worked only on
simulations-until now. The first attack by Assaud is aimed at the
world's oil supply. Assaud's second assault, a nationwide
cyber-attack on the credit system, proves much more difficult for
Dr. Palmer's team. In response to this final attack the Federal
Reserve is forced to close all of the nation's banks. Can that halt
the slide, or will America descend into another great depression?
Either way, life in the United States is about to change.
