Last Days of the Voyage

LAST DAYS OF THE VOYAGE takes place over a few momentous weeks in the year 2048, starting with the eruption of war between America and China upon Taiwan declaring independence. China wins the opening confrontation, a brief but colossal conflagration in the Asia Pacific region. This ignites escalation into world war, with East Asia coalescing around China, and the western world around America.In this frenzied battle for the repositioning of global power-seen by both sides as existential-China and its East Asian allies find common cause with the countries of the Greater Middle East, from Pakistan to Morocco. This shifts the war's epicenter from its flashpoint in the Asia Pacific to the Greater Middle East, and the world hurtles toward the brink of a total world war.Much of the rest of the world-with the notable exception of Russia-coalesces into a spirited front, the Non-Aligned Front, which rallies to end the world war and pull humanity into a new world order that secures peace. Which of these forces is to prevail?The main character, Tarek, makes public-with the help of a prominent television media friend-paranormal spiritual insights, which took shape with him over decades of his life, about the broader context and meaning of this world war, and its possible outcomes. How the thwarting of the war and the triumph of world peace is seen as crucial and pivotal, not only for our world, but for existence at large.The author, OMAR N. ZEIDAN was born in 1965 in Beirut, Lebanon. He went to university in the U.S. and immigrated to Canada. He worked and lived in several countries, now lives in Ottawa, Canada. Bearing no relationship to his career, global politics strongly interested him. Transformative spiritual events started happening with him in his late twenties. Over a few decades, his preoccupation with global politics and his spiritual experiences converged into a common cause, making clear for him the true purpose of both. This book is about this purpose. The author's spiritual experiences are conveyed through the character of Tarek.
