Jack knew the dangers this project posed. He was there when a similar project failed miserably in Russia. Failure was inevitable. That’s what he was counting on. He knew that the failure of this project would leave the President looking like a hero when he came to the rescue of the people. Somaron and Wolfore had whispered in his ear time and again what a hero he’d be. He would be the one that made this buffoon of a man look like a shining star. Tom Stevens was Jack’s only roadblock. At least that was what he thought. Jack failed to see the battle that was going on in the shadows beyond the world he knew. He didn’t see the blackness that the shadows hid from his sight. He failed to see the glints of life that flashed in the light. A great battle was brewing beyond what he could see. It was a battle that would decide the fate of the world and no matter which way it fell, Jack’s world would never be the same.
