Global food supplies can no longer support world population thereby triggering a nuclear war between the eastern and western hemispheres. Millions of people mysteriously vanish without a trace amid a global rash of grave robbing and accidents involving unmanned motor vehicles, boats and aircraft. Earth is further threatened by a huge comet on a direct collision course with the planet. The environmental catastrophe wrought by the nuclear holocaust and the comet's impact reduce the habitable portion of Earth by two thirds. The problems facing the one sixth of Earth's surviving population appear to be without solutions until a savvy politician presents a detailed peace plan to guarantee peace and adequate food and water for all who will form a world government ruled by a single head of state. Then comes the mark...666....required to buy and sell after which Anti-Christ demands to be worshipped as God. World peace is followed by war, famine and death as the nations gather at Armageddon.
