FIRST WE RECEIVED THE WARNING, NOW AMERICA MUST FACE THE ULTIMATUM...

Eighteen months ago, Buddy Korda warned the nation that an economic disaster was on the horizon. Now families across the country are living out the grim reality of the second depression of the twentieth century. Some say it was just a coincidence. Others say he caused the crisis by frightening investors out of the stock market.

But Korda's warning was not a mere prediction. It was a divine message. And now Buddy has received another message -- this time more than a warning, an ultimatum.

God's call leads the reluctant prophet to Washington, D.C., where his friends -- including Linda Kee, a well-known reporter familiar with the D.C. power structure -- coordinate the effort to bring America face to face with its heritage and its destiny. This historic movement threatens to transform the current political process. And the Washington power brokers will do anything to keep Korda from succeeding.
