Hailstorms

Hailstorms

Linda Wood Rondeau
0/5 ( ratings)
Instead of serving his residency at Victoria Medical Center in Elizabethtown, Nigeria, the African Alliance has changed his assignment to a remote village in the coastal regions. He laments his lot, but is encouraged by the people’s love and by Felicia’s visits. The assignment wouldn’t be forever, and maybe someday he and Felicia could marry and start a family. Jacques hopes are dashed when a successful coup gives government control to the Jihadist majority, throwing the entire continent of Africa into civil war.

In the year 2020, due to epidemic paranoia and economic hardship, the world has already aligned itself into various alliances. The global economy has failed to recover from a twelve-year recession culminating in the recent collapse of the World Bank.
In these uncertain times, a young Jacques Fontaine expects to fulfill the conditions of his medical school scholarship through residency at Victoria Medical Center in Elizabethtown, the former Lagos, the seat of the newly formed African Alliance. Instead, after landing at Queen Elizabeth International Airport, he is taken to a remote coastal village. Thus begins Jacques’ tumultuous adventure. Caught in the crossfire of a world at war, unwilling enlisted into the Christian Militia, his travels traverse continents.
Felicia Lecroix, Nigerian born but naturalized American Citizen since the age of five, looked forward to her mission work at Victoria Medical Center, elated when Jacques received permission from the African Alliance to be assigned there to fulfill his scholarship requirements. She looks forward to working side by side with the man she loves. She knows Jacques wants to marry. Yet, the signs are everywhere. She, like most Christians, believes the current world rumblings signal Christ’s imminent return. Should she marry and start a family when the world stage is poised for God’s judgment?
In a coupe by the ruling majority of the African Alliance Council, the jihadists, called Allah’s Warriors, take control over most of Africa. Following a cataclysmic tsunami, Mid-eastern sects, as well as North American and European cells join forces with the African Alliance. Climatic upheaval, pestilence, and famine follow. Religious civil war erupts on every continent, each sect blaming one another for the disasters and seeking supremacy. The population has dwindled from ten billion to 500 million. With the crumbling of society, the world is thrown into a second dark age.
For the next twenty-five years, Felicia and Jacques are caught in the tempests, their love for one another pulled like old fashioned taffy, their dreams dashed by world gone amuck. Jacques, a doctor-warrior, advances to General of the Christian Militia. He receives a vision for a united government that will end the tumult, restoring peace to a devastated world. He moves into the political arena as peacemaker, eventually becoming the first leader of The Accord.
