内容简介：
This story is about the last days of Earth before Christ comes back. It is a science fiction novel about an admiral who is forcibly retired after thirty years of honorable service. He hates the way his country is sliding down into lawlessness and sin and hopes to stem the tide. His wife is dead and he is jobless, so he moves from Seattle to Spokane, Washington, where he dedicates the rest of his life to raising his son in peace and quiteaso he hopes. This is not to be, however, for his son is at first a troublemaker in school and, finally, a genius who gets them all in trouble with the youthful use of his invention. While building a ship, he is kidnaped by a wealthy man, inhumanly tortured and almost murdered. The manas estate is located and invaded by Davidas dad, the admiral. Ben Westly hands out some much-needed, swift justice, though he is too late to save David from the torture. Brought back to life and cured some weeks later by God, David has a new mission in life. Although Earth is judged and destroyed by God, Davidas new mission is to provide the means to lead people to a new earth and a new heaven created by God. These are not the meek which inherit the earth.
