About this ebook
When Earth's variously named God retires in 2027 after 2,000+ years of service, he is replaced by a new Supreme Being – a planetary turnaround specialist who must decide whether to include mankind in his plan to restore the world's luster. This deity introduces himself to Earthlings through an unscheduled appearance on the Ram Forrester Hour talk show, which he beams worldwide.
Ram and co-host Brendali Santamaria, an atheist and devout Catholic respectively, are shocked. God informs them and their viewers that a 60 day conference will take place in Los Angeles to determine humanity's fate. Those attending must prove that homo-sapiens can help God implement his plan by eliminating religious violence forever, before the conference ends. Failure will mean extinction.
Ram and Bren's romance ignites soon after God designates them as the conference's only authorized media reporters. The harried couple must attend the conference by day, do their show at night and outwit a fanatical group hell bent on killing them for promoting a false god. Their love blooms as conflicts within the conference intensify, dimming the prospect of mankind's survival. Because only Ram and Bren can communicate with this God, the burden of saving humanity rests in their hands.
