The Eden Formula

Dr. Rosenzweig is named Global Weekly's Man Of The Year due to his discovery of the Eden Formula. The Eden Formula is a formula that causes Israeli deserts to become rich, fertile croplands. The development of this formula promises to end world famine; thus, the formula becomes a highly sought commodity. Hunger is applied literally to the need or craving for food; it can also be applied metaphorically to cravings of other sorts. ...


Unfortunately, Rosenzweig's scientific breakthrough has made him a target for enemy forces, particularly the Russians, who joined with the Iraqis and others to launch an all-out attack just months before the Rapture.

The Rapture is an event in certain systems of Christian eschatology (the study of the end times) whereby it is believed that all Christians will be taken from Earth by Jesus Christ into Heaven. ...
