We THINK we know our history. We THINK mankind has continually advanced in thought and achievement since the dawn of time. We THINK--but we have no idea what the truth really is.
Our ancestors we're not ignorant, childish nor superstitious. The geologic record around the world proves that they were advanced in many things, some even more than we are today. They were just the unfortunate souls to live at a time when solar flares grew quiet and a medieval hell descended upon mankind, a repetitive and savage cycle throughout our sun's inaccessible history.
In the year 2040, the world is balancing on a razor, as old government alliances flicker and global war descends upon an ignorant populace. A tired old man (Leroy Guiscard) and his brilliant assistant (Veronica Paige) in the U.S. Senate stumble upon a global strategy that began in the year 449 AD--a strategy that is about to be resumed when the greatest solar minimum in the history of the Solar System begins and the world plunges into the fangs of another medieval age.
While the largest military movements in the history of the planet are being deployed to the Middle East, the technological advancements of the West are quickly becoming meaningless as the next world war is about to be fought with swords, alchemy and magic, not technology. The once esteemed knowledge of modern society fades into folklore and myth, while the unfortunate survivors of the Minimum learn to live once again in a world governed by ancient myths and fantastical creatures previously confined to horrific literature and tall tales.
The mortal requirement for secret societies once again becomes paramount in the global reestablishment of freedom, and In Spem de Mundo (The Hope of the World) is formed in the Blue Drawing Room of Buckingham Palace by a defeated royal hero, an obscure U.S. Senator and his beautiful assistant.
In our modern age, every astrophysicist agrees that our sun has secrets. Secrets that the earth is about to re-learn in the epic novel, Solar Minimum.
