After an absence of several years, the religious terrorist Jeremiah returns to lead millions of his converts to "New America", his separatist colony in the Dakotas based on his teaching. And he also retuns to wreak havoc on the life of Laura Delany, the journalist with whom he is obsessed. After stalking and threatening Laura for years, he finally kidnaps her and presents her with a fate beyond her worst imaginings: she is to bear his son to carry on his legacy of bigotry and destruction -- as set forth in the Book of the Second Jeremiah.Laura's husband, former FBI agent Steve Wallace, sets out for New America, intent on rescuing Laura and killing the madman before he can put his plan into effect.It won't be easy. Renegade U. S. Army officers and foreign mercenaries have taken over the South Dakota National Guard, transforming it into a formidable force of 120,000 men, B1 Stealth bombers, and nuclear weapons. Jeremiah could be the wedge that splits the United States into two countries.Unless Laura and Steve can stop him.
