Publisher's Synopsis
Can a terrorist be a hero? In ARMAGEDDON NOW, a Palestinian clandestinely comes to America to carry out a plot that has been developed over a 30 year period. Told from the Palestinian's point of view, through flashbacks, we see how a young Palestinian boy is taught to hate all that America stands for in a world where he sees his people suffer from neglect and oppression. As a grown man, he eagerly agrees to fight the "Great Satan," and bring America to its knees to atone for the injustices heaped upon his people. Through a series of events, a variety of people, with their own unique stories, cross paths with him and become entangled in a web of deceit that could lead them all to their doom as the plot unfolds, moving toward the ultimate climax as a group of plotters prepares to unleash a nuclear Armageddon on America. The supernatural comes into play as a strange dark figure serves as a unifying catalyst between the various protagonists from the deserts of Palestine to the streets of Washington, DC. A disillusioned private detective seeking redemption, two women who have lost everything meaningful in their lives but find comfort in each others arms and two young college students reared to be part of a sinister plot all converge in an orgy of mayhem and violence that leads to a most unusual and dramatic ending. ARMAGEDDON NOW offers a unique perspective to explain the calamity of American hegemony, and introduces a unifying character (Aaron Adams) who will appear in several other projected projects.
