The Circle moves the reader forward to the year 2029,
just before the start of the world's greatest holocaust, called the Battle
of Armageddon. Beginning in the Middle East, the Battle spreads rapidly
around the globe until the military forces of Earth are rendered helpless.
The Jihad is influenced by extra-terrestrial forces with weapons far
more deadly than those devised by man. All would be lost
if not for the Toren Empire, which furnishes space ships
enabling approximately 160,000 people to be removed
from Earth in time to avoid their demise. The evil forces of the Atlantean Empire make sure that all humans who remained on Earth perish so they can claim the
planet for their empire.
The last of the Earthlings spend more than
twenty years preparing for the time when they can return to
Earth. Although they face overwhelming odds, the survivors return with some
surprises of their own to confront the evildoers in a final conflict where the winner takes all.
