Every major decision that affects the lives of the people of the world is being made by someone. It's not us. Lucifer's Art is Deception ...
It's New Years Eve in Times Square when Alex Marshall suddenly finds himself alone. He's the only one of millions gathered there who is moving until he is found by the Underground Society. In the next couple of hours he discovers that the world he thought he was living in is a deception designed to take advantage of the people of earth. Controlled through implants by a group of seriously demented LORDs the population is held in unknowing servitude where wars are fought for the purpose of entertainment and population control.
Alex, a history professor, discovers that another world war is soon approaching. Working with his friends; Steve Jenson, a former Navy Seal; Neil Murray, a computer hacker and Melissa Kimble, an electronics engineer, he fights against time to discover the true nature of the LORDs who rule the world and prevent the deaths of another billion people - including themselves.
"They're the true embodiment of evil itself - as vicious and obvious as hydras if they have a knife in your back, as desperate and pathetically cowardly when they're cornered, and as friendly as anybody you would ever meet face to face, when they think you have power over them. Many of them are very intelligent and exceedingly clever and cunning in their own fashion. They're masterful liars, totally without peer or conscience. They're completely ruthless when it comes to executing their designs, as well as incredibly patient and intelligent in waiting for and recognizing the right time to make their strike."
