Title: Confrontation
Description: Imagine a confrontation of epic proportions that takes place around the globe and across the solar system, with the most powerful nations on earth on one side and a community of a few thousand people on the other. The Darkside Trilogy is born of the headlines of a generation and a tale nearly half a millenium in the making, with Confrontation bringing the story to its inevitable climax. Confrontation concludes a tale that began with a series of mysteries around the globe and ends with the entire planet forced to confront its obsession with killing and the consequences of refusing to change a global culture steeped in self-destruction. When the needs and wants of politics and corporate greed intersect, compromise and criminality often follow. In most cases, there is little consequence for such crimes committed against the people. But what would happen when the people can not only fight back, but actually win?
