The president of the United States and his chief of staff appear to undergo subtle changes in their normal traits and habits. A white house speech writer is surprised by his double in a Manhattan store and O'Malley suspects that a conspiracy to subjugate the country's political and military leadership through the introduction of high profile lookalikes is in progress. At first it is believed that a group of clones from a foreign country is responsible but the truth when finally revealed, shakes everyone to the core. O'Malley stumbles across Operation Terra Firma and finds himself in a fantastical world he once thought to be a figment of quantum theory. The FBI special agent finds himself in a life and death struggle against insurmountable odds to prevent a takeover of the world's most powerful military and the imposition of a new world order.
