Publisher's Synopsis
"World Betrayed" is the sequel and continuing story of "World Aflame". The mysterious, and to date undefeated fires, continue to burn around the world threatening all life on the planet. Scientists, politicians, philosophers, clergy and "talking heads" all have their theories, but none of them has a solution to end this terrifying phenomenon. Communication, travel, and energy experienced in the 21st century has been sent back to 19th century standards and methods. The mystery of Rick Landis' disappearance continues unsolved. After being shot by an unknown assailant, the Sun Times reporter disappeared without a trace. But his "comrades in arms", Captain Carl Dyan, Sydney Marston, and Marty "What's his name" have vowed to never give up until they find the answer, dead or alive. For Sydney it is more urgent because Rick is the "love of her life". Next, there are the rumors of a "Shadow Government" planning to take down the nations of the world. The promise to their naïve followers is power, wealth, position, and a Utopian World! But there is a dark side to these "Brave New World" leaders. They are brutal, power driven despots, traitorously using the trusting masses, to achieve their own personal goals. Murder, treachery, betrayal, and war continue in the book's final chapters leading to an inspiring finish.
