Stealth Triumph

The nanomites have uncovered a vast international intrigue, a conspiracy comprising thousands of individuals in key positions across many nations. They call themselves the Global Community, and they are led by the wealthy, powerful, and elite-militant ideo­logues who believe they possess the right to determine the future of humankind.

The nanomites prefer the term Jayda and Zander have given the conspirators: the Cabal.

Jayda Cruz, members of the Global Community speak of themselves in lofty, righteous terms; however, the noun "cabal" means a plot or scheme with treacherous objectives. "Cabal" more accurately expresses the Global Community's agenda as well as their methodologies.

It was the Cabal's plan to engineer and deploy a highly contagious virus-a virus that has killed untold millions around the earth. The loss of life has crippled the world's food producers, manufacturing industries, and supply chains. Under the weight of increasing terrorist strikes, abnormal crop failures, and natural disasters on a scale of Biblical proportions, nation after nation descends into famine and anarchy.

As America faces food and fuel shortages never before seen in her history, panic grows. Urban infrastructures collapse. Law enforcement crumbles. Violent gangs roam city streets unchallenged, looting and burning-and some of those gangs are paid to target opponents of the Global Community.

When Jayda and Zander peer into the nanomites' counterinsurgency activities, they observe odd movements within the Cabal's leadership. They soon realize that they are witnessing a "bugging out" of top Cabal figures, a retreat to a safe haven somewhere in the Atlantic.

What is this new threat looming on the horizon? Jayda and Zander can only surmise that it must be something more terrifying than what is already overwhelming the nations.
