Publisher's Synopsis
In 2037, the time setting for Book 4, global warming is causing increasing problems for the world, especially across the warmer, poorer regions of the planet. The resultant economic hardships drive an upsurge in mass migrations, civil strife, and religious violence. Even worse, a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and South Asia threatens the lives of millions. Now 16 years old, the main character of the Savior series, Mikhail Ivanov, the Savoir/Mutant Boy, has to deal first with a threat from the Russian mafia to Tati, his childhood friend and now an EB, then he deals with the civil conflict between Muslims and neo-fascists in France. His peace accord there presages his plans to bring peace to the Middle East and South Asia. Mikhail proceeds to free up in all areas of the planet access to the Internet and hence to himself and his organization. As a result, MI Supporters groups begin springing up in those countries controlled by authoritarian and extremist regimes. Mikhail goes to several of these countries, meets with the new MI Supporters groups, and enhances a few girls, including the stunningly beautiful Princess Daania of Jordan. He issues a worldwide warning to the regimes that if they attack these girls and crack down on his supporters, he will unleash his fury on them. This sets the stage for a showdown with these regimes, powerful militarists, and religious extremists as Mikhail, his EBs and young supporters try to bring the violence and the nuclear arms race in the area to an end. Meanwhile, back at the Compound, a reactionary U.S. Air Force general attempts to nuke Mikhail and his enclave, and in Africa, the Islamic Warriors Army, the descendant of Boko Haram, ignores a warning from Mikhail and attacks a town and kidnaps over a 100 young girls. This defiant action prompts a response from Mikhail that stuns the world.
