When an asteroid of tremendous
proportions is reported on a deadly, world- shattering course toward Earth, all
hell breaks out! Government officials, including the US President go into
underground complexes to await the collision with their families. They
well know there is no hope for life beyond the few days remaining until the
asteroid hits.
Anarchy reigns in the streets,
with no law and order surviving the news that all life would end in a gigantic
explosion unimaginable to the average man or woman. Why not rape, murder
and steal, when you were going to be dead shortly, anyway?
But, there are those who see
there is something just not right about so many of the worlds astronomers either
killed or missing within a few days before the announcement that Earth was
doomed. For years, many in the US military and others had known some sort
of world takeover would be attempted by those who wished to rule the world and
all its people. So, a large number of people leave their jobs, their homes
or their military posts to hide out in well-prepared underground complexes of
their own.
Was it all a farce? Were
all the photos of the asteroid coming closer and closer faked? Only a few
know the absolute truth for sure. With earthquakes rocking the world and
changing vast areas of the landscape and, with the largest, most powerful
hurricanes ever recorded ravaging mankind, what else could possibly be the
cause?
THE ASTEROID CONSPIRACY brings
out the worst and the best of what
we are. There is an old saying, "Are you running to something or from
something?" Life has always repeated laps around the oval track of
mankind's existence. Will that racetrack disappear in one blinding flash
of cosmic dust? And, will we be ready to accept the end?

"First stop,
Alexandria, Kentucky. Little bitty town southeast of Cincinnati. It's
about as far as we can stretch our fuel."
"Then what?"
"That's one of the reasons I wanted to talk privately. Sir, we have no
idea how the hell they knew about Logan's place." He glanced slightly at
the four ex-army rangers, who abandoned the site with them.
General Parker lowered his voice and asked, "One of them?"
"Perhaps, but who knows? They were all checked out every way possible.
I'd hate like hell to think one of our people was one of them."
The term "them" made the general wonder again, exactly who the hell "them" was.
Colonel Nelson read the look on his face and said, "General, don't think
anything of it, but when we get off the chopper in Kentucky, I want to scan
every...

 | "I threw them off the fuckin' tower. Ain't no fuckin' blue headed
motherfuckers messin' with my railroad. Spoke some kinda foreign shit.
Don't want no fuckin' foreigners fuckin' with my railroad, neither."
Jack had to stifle a laugh. "Good fer you, kid. Yer my kinda guy.
Looks like we're ready to roll. Marty and I will ride in the engine with
you." |
 | "What
do we do ?" General Parker had never faced a crisis like this. In his time
coming up through the ranks in the army, he'd killed a good many of the
enemy, but they were trying to kill him. They were soldiers. What the hell
do you do with a woman, who was not only a traitor to her country, but to
her own husband?
Burt answered, "She won't leave the Mark Twain area with us, General." |

Again,
she shook her head and smiled. Do you know how many people that
bastard owns in your own government? Everything from stock
regulators to generals to congressmen? Did you notice how many of
the important people on congressional committees disappeared just before
all this started? Why do you suppose they did that? They knew
what was coming. Jarmain Euclaid is a powerful man, because he has
so much money and owns so many people. And, he has other big money
people working with him. |

Being
the end of June, the heat was making the bodies bloat and burst. FEMA had
incinerators set up in a number of locations in some of the major cities
to burn many of the corpses, but triple that amount was still on the
streets. Diseases would soon appear, such as Cholera and the plague,
ending the lives of even more. All transportation was closed down under
FEMA orders. No more planes, buses or trains were moving unless they held
Military men and supplies. Cities were blocked off and no one could
leave. Large metropolitan areas were nothing but out of control war
zones. FEMA also set up areas of safety for families to go to. But,
even FEMA didnt have the food and water available to take care of such a
large population. Outbreaks of violence inside these safe havens quickly
grew more numerous by the day, and military personnel were under orders to shoot
to kill any troublemakers. |
