Armageddon: A Novel of Ukraine – Paperback

Told from multiple perspectives, Armageddon follows five characters as they fight their way through the war in Ukraine. Taras Irvanets, a college student from Kyiv, who abandons a future with his girlfriend to join his friends in defending Ukraine against the invading Russian army. Mehdi Kalhor, a radical Iranian attempting to use the war to summon the Mahdi, the savior of Shia Islam. Vladimir Putin, intent on reviving the former Russian Empire. Zhao Guofeng, leader of a Chinese cabal, convinced the unrest in Europe provides an opportunity to settle his country’s longstanding issues with Taiwan and assert Chinese dominance in a future where America no longer matters. And Jim Marsh, a CIA official trying to contain them all before things get out of hand.

Only Marsh seems to notice the momentum propelling events toward a catastrophic ending, but can he convince world leaders of the global conflagration that awaits them? Or is Ukraine’s regional conflict destined to become the impetus that pushes the world toward its final end?

Ripped from the latest news reports, Armageddon takes readers on a perilous and harrowing trek through a world of myopic, self-obsessed politicians as they stumble from one event to another, only to find they have created the nightmare no one thought would ever occur. Fiction that reads like nonfiction. Characters as genuine as life. Action you can’t put down. Armageddon is a must-read for lovers of both fiction and non-fiction
