The Second Advocate

The Second Advocate, a work of fiction relates the story of a world engulfed in anarchy and hatred in the year 2041. The story begins in 1995 with the death of Paul Davies, a United States Marine General killed in Bosina. Paul has been chosen by the Creator to become the Second Advocate sent to Earth, to determine whether humanity is capable of joining the nations of the universe or should be destroyed to protect the common good. Forty-six years pass as Paul is prepared for his return by the greatest collection of minds in history to become an omniscient force to alter the path mankind has chosen that will lead to its destruction. His spirit is united with the body of Prince Abdual Aziz who was conceived at the moment of Pauls death in preparation for his return. The world is a different place in the year 2041. The United States has separated into three provinces, racially divided but still united under a central administration for the common good. Because of previous nuclear conflicts, the world is now divided into three political and military alliances. Islamic nations have joined into an alliance to eliminate all who do not believe as they do and are at war with nations comprising a European alliance. As Prince Aziz, Paul exerts his vast knowledge to gain the confidence of the Arab world, with the exception of Iran, Iraq, and Libya. He successfully confronts the American President and negotiates the removal of the American Fleet from the Mediterranean Sea by promising among other things to staunch the ongoing terrorist activities upon American interests. Detractors and would-be assassins of Prince Aziz find themselves eradicated either by military force or divine intervention. The Prince gradually reveals his identity as the Messenger of God, the Chosen One. While Islamic Countries readily accept his identity, other cultures require proof positive that he has divine guidance. A meteor shower over major cities at the Princes command reinforces his claim. When the nation of India will not agree to Nuclear disarmament and join the other major alliances, their military bases are destroyed by earthquakes and buried deep in desert sands. Prince Aziz is ultimately successful at uniting the world and communicating the message that aggression and hate do not fit into the greater plan of the universe. A world Congress of Nations is formed to eradicate famine and guarantee the peaceful coexistence of nations. The writing combines elements of fantasy, religion, world culture, and politics and may be interpreted as a work of entertainment or creative social commentary.
