Rising from the Ashes: Guardians of the Hidden Lair
One man’s dreams of world domination are challenged by another man’s dream of protecting those around him after nuclear war devastates our world, as we knew it. From the ashes of destruction, comes the Guardians of the Hidden Lair.
Rising from the Ashes: Guardians of the Hidden Lair brings us to the end of the twentieth century when the world as we knew it had become worse than anyone could have ever thought. Crime was rampant, war was breaking out all over and terrorist acts around the world were growing more numerous as each year passed. As the twenty-first century came and went it kept getting worse. In the United States crime was out of control and terrorists began striking within this once great country. Everyone prayed for a savior to come. Years went by before a ray of hope shined through. A new President came into power named Jonathan T. Matthews. With harsh laws and the use of martial law, he was able to get crime under control within two years. The American people were pleased with his work and his abilities. Unknown to them, President Matthews had a hidden agenda he had been working on for years. Matthews set into motion the events that would lead up to nuclear war making it easy for him to take over the world. The nuclear missiles fly and three-fourths of the world’s population is lost. With his military, he begins to capture and kill those who have survived. His dream of world domination was nearly accomplished. Luckily, all men dream. One in particular dreams of protecting his family and friends from the now hostile world they now live in.
