In the near future, the world is on the precipice of nuclear war.

Any one of a dozen flashpoints could soon ignite. But beyond the boundaries of nations, a top-secret scientific team is working on a solution. Its members have been recruited from around the world, and each is brilliant. They call themselves The Miracle Group.

It will be the greatest deceit in the history of civilization – the payoff, something that's been elusive for thousands of years – everlasting peace.

The plot is the brainchild of Saudi billionaire Sheikh Hamil Yasir, who has previously prevented international conflicts from escalating into war. Now, he means to end all of it once and for all.

Yasir hires Dr. Ryan Cobran to lead the group, knowing the MIT physicist is ripe for the mission. He's been questioning his entire life's work since discovering the CIA had lied to him for years. They promised to use his inventions for defensive operations; instead, they committed atrocities. Now, Cobran hopes that running The Miracle Group will cast off those demons and make amends for the harm his work has caused. Meanwhile, Yasir's motivation is a mystery until it is revealed in a shocking plot twist midway through the novel.

With the planet's brightest scientific minds at their disposal, Cobran and Yasir create advanced technologies the world has never known – technology that allows them to deploy a series of events so unfathomable they can only be understood as miracles. Among them are a 100 square-mile field of wheat that sprouts in the rain-starved Somali desert, a massive forest fire threatening thousands at a concert in the Australian outback that inexplicably dies out in seconds, and a monster tsunami that completely dissipates just before wiping out cities up and down the West Coast of the United States.

The scientists then give these miraculous events meaning by projecting identical visions onto hundreds of key political and religious leaders worldwide, each believing God has ordered them to obey His commandment:

“Humankind, I have made myself known through my miracles. Cease all warfare now and forever, or be eradicated from my Earth.”

The United Nations convenes an emergency session with a resolution to ban all weapons and acts of war. But investigative journalist Paul Andrews is a wildcard.  When he'd gotten wind of the conspiracy months ago, his first inclination was to expose the plot and win another Emmy. But after Cobran dispatched his beautiful and earnest daughter to run interference, a romance ensued, and now Andrews isn't so sure. Can this kind of massive deceit be justified if the result is lasting peace? Or does the truth outweigh everything?

As the U.N. moves closer to banning war and the final miracle is ready to be deployed, Andrews must decide on his course of action, and The Miracle Group has no idea whether he'll blow the conspiracy wide open or instead help it along with his national television presence.

And there's another complication. This last, most dramatic miracle will have the world witness a massive tsunami completely disappear just before it slams into the west coast of the United States. Secretly creating the tsunami out in the deep Pacific was easy enough, but the technology to dissipate it is still short of being one hundred percent reliable. If it fails, millions from San Francisco to San Diego will be swept up in a wall of water, and only The Miracle Group will be to blame.

As the scientists race to make the technology more reliable, Yasir learns Israel is about to launch a nuclear strike against Iran. Now, more than ever, The Miracle Group's scheme is needed to avert catastrophe. Yasir demands they move up the timetable despite the technical problems. Cobran insists it's too risky – their ability to dissipate the tsunami is still too unreliable.

Does The Miracle Group deploy the tsunami and risk killing millions? Will the reporter protect the secret or blow the entire project wide open? These are among the questions that will keep readers turning the page.
