It's the year 2036, and The Faithful, a
group of North African Islamic nations, are plotting to seize the oil resources
of the Middle East. By controlling the earth's oil and its major trade routes,
they plan to bring the world to its knees. Then, when the entire world is
kneeling, the Faithful of Allah will read to them from the Koran, preaching the
message of Islam, the True Faith. The Faithful will stop at nothing to achieve
their goal. But how far will they go? And how many lives will it cost? Jihad: World War in 2036 is
a finely tuned saga combining military strategy and tactics, political
machinations, religious fervor and powerful character portrayals in a
frighteningly realistic scenario of World War III. In
the aftermath of World War III, the United States, intending to ensure world
peace, establishes the Oil Commission to control the resources of North Africa
and the Middle East. However, The Faithful have been defeated not vanquished.
The imposition of the Oil Commission offends many powerful nations. None dare
attack the United States. Yet, isn’t that what alliances are for? OIL COMMISSION is an epic
saga of hatred and revenge, in which the powerful conspire to inflame religious
intolerance and to ignite the pent up hostilities of the downtrodden to
instigate war on a global scale. The
Oil Commission has led mankind through the oil crisis into a new ear of world
peace and unprecedented prosperity. China, the world’s most populous nation,
has isolated itself. China fears the outside world, not only because China
cannot compete, but also because such openness would undermine the all-powerful
Communist Party. At the same time, Japan yearns to return to its days of glory,
when Nippon ruled the Southeast Asia Coprosperity Sphere. Both Japan and China
perceive that Russia is the enemy – the one country that is denying them their
greatness. By the greatest of coincidences, they both attack Russia
simultaneously. Lake Aral is
an epic saga of consequences. The consequence of isolationism is distrust, which
leads to war. The consequence of unchecked nationalism is war. The consequence
of a politician’s call for a return to traditional values is war. Only through
cooperation can mankind survive. But, will Mankind learn this lesson in time? |
