Title: Crusade
Description: A new world power, The Caliphate, has been born. It is spreading across the Middle East absorbing the other countries in the area. The rest of the would sees The Caliphate as a homogenous power that has a long-term plan for regional domination, but those inside the new country see a far different picture. The Caliphate is unstable, weakly led and riddled with internal contradictions. Only its constant outward expansion holds the whole ramshackle ediface together. The Caliphate also has a Far Eastern rival, one whose long-term aims are very different. A collision between the two is inevitable. There is another factor that looms on the horizon. Willingly or not, The Caliphate's expansion will bring it into direct conflict with the United States and that means it will face SAC's bombers. Yet The Caliphate's leaders do not understand the terrible meaning of that confrontation. In a world that stands on the brink of disaster, can good men and bad work together to prevent the catastrophe?
