Who is behind this and what is their true agenda? What does the Brotherhood of Death (Skull and Bones (Yale), The All Souls Society (Oxford), and The Thule Society (Berlin)), have in common with the Bildebergers and the Catholic Church? Can the Second Holocaust be prevented and do the answers lie in Bible Code prophesy? Steven Michaels is a Company man assigned to the Bible Code Research team at the National Security Agency. After the tragic deaths of his ex-wife and child in a car accident meant for him, a friend and colleague from the Vatican is murdered as well, but not before he sends Michaels proof of the conspiracy and the answers to the mystery exposing the impending New World Order.
