Facing bitter resistance, the New World Order clamps down on the American forces. It's a fight against global domination, with the freedom of the human race at stake. In Volume 2 of the New World Order series, the Order shows a new U.S. President what will happen if he doesn't do their bidding. These shadowy puppet-masters will sacrifice anyone, even elites at the upper circles of power and they prove that to the new President in vivid detail. Individual lives mean nothing when their objective is so close they can taste it. The New World Order moves forward with its twisted plans for full disarmament of the world's population. Their chosen method is arrest and 're-education' of any questionable citizens—i.e. those who will not accept a new global government or a micro chip implant, for their own protection. The conquered people soon realize every whim of the Order must be swiftly met or overly harsh retribution will follow.
