STAT! ….Full perimeter. STAT, STAT.”With these frantically shouted words Secret Service Agent Steve Quinn was onlyconfirming what hundreds of thousands of day viewers could see with their own eyes –the President had been shot and was down.Normally, viewership of a day-time Presidential speech outside of DC would not beextensive, but this was no normal day. The elections were just eleven days away, andthis President was behind in virtually all of the polls, except for CBS, which gave hima lead so thin that the poll’s margin of error dwarfed the purported lead.

Would he lead the Congress in banning ‘hatespeech’, including criticism of public officials? What would his newly-created greenshirtedCCC Conservators do to deny Americans their Constitutional rights?With no holds barred, SECOND TERM, in three volumes, peers into the future ofan end times nation viewed through the lens of Biblical prophecy. Will violence in thestreets fulfill what Prophets foresaw centuries ago? Will America stand by or betrayIsrael? Is America’s future revealed in the Bible?SECOND TERM is fiction. Or is it?
