America is being dismantled in real time. Markets crash. Power grids fail. Satellites go dark. Nuclear forces come under attack. As the government scrambles to understand an enemy it cannot see, one terrifying truth emerges: none of it is random. Someone planned every failure, and the man known as the Prophet is only getting started.

What's this?

America begins to unravel in a matter of hours. Financial markets seize, communications fail, oil infrastructure is attacked, satellites go dark, and the nation’s nuclear forces come under threat. What first appears to be a series of unrelated disasters soon reveals itself as a coordinated assault designed to cripple every system holding the country together.

As military and government leaders race to identify the enemy, they discover the attacks are only pieces of a much larger plan. At the center of the chaos is a mysterious figure known as the Prophet, whose reach extends far deeper than anyone realizes.

With panic spreading, trust collapsing, and the threat of nuclear war growing by the minute, the people fighting to save the country must determine who is responsible before the final stage of the plan begins.
