Dragon and the Dove

Nearly two years after the holocaust at Black Point, archaeologist Sam McGowan awakens in an underground shelter near Bear Mountain, NY. The world is in even worse shape than he remembered, and now, with food running out and the climate ruined, everyone on Earth is blaming him. Devastated by what he saw that day in Rhode Island, McGowan, filled with hate and lust for revenge, is eager to finish the fight. With pesky Deborah Jeanne out of the way, McGowan is now free to fight his way. Lin Song, wife of his arch enemy, has returned to China, retrieved that old book, In Quest of Phi, and assembled a massive army with which she intends to duplicate the victories of the Mongol Khans. World domination is her goal: Western thought will be wiped out, and Phi will be rammed down the throats of the survivors. Friendless and alone this time, McGowan must raise a war chest and recruit an army of his own. With Lin already on the march and time running out, McGowan gets help from an unlikely source: a twelve year old boy. With Eric-the-Unruly, who needs an army? And with the words of In Quest of Phi: The Search for Creative Meaning still ringing in his ears, exactly what is Truth?
