The next world war begins over the Internet. By early summer 2011, Ali Omar, a former U.S. intelligence officer, resurfaces as the leader of a rogue cabal of computer experts operating inside Chechnya. Their creation, The Third Millennium, a computer virus designed to manipulate the Internet and shape a new world destiny, is usurped by a malevolent presence initiating the assault on the Holy Land foretold in biblical prophecies. Unsealing the ancient prophecies, the presence molds the behavior of all who view a computer screen into evil incarnate through the commission of acts of violence. John Granger, a computer forensic specialist with Homeland Security, races against time to locate and eliminate the source of the virus tracing its footprints by deciphering a series of messages deposited on compromised government computers. As he investigates the scenes of the victims of the new cyber-evil, Granger is unaware he has made himself a target for assassination.
