The Agenda — Ralph D. Curtin

An AIDS vaccine is being developed in contemporary America. All might look wonderfully humanitarian on the surface, but there's a sinister agenda at work behind the scenes. The drug is being used to catapult a pharmaceutical magnate to world prominence. When a band of Christians uncover his real agenda, they attempt to unmask him as the Antichrist who is using the discovery as part of a master plan. Following a predestined path, the Antichrist uses his supernatural powers to force them to temporarily capitulate through the course of many conflicts. The Agenda fictionalizes portions of Bible prophecy through the lives of two central characters. Gregory Kavidas is a satanically energized man of Greek descent who is later elected to the president of the European Common nations. David Douglas, a Christian college professor, is bent on exposing Kavidas before he dupes the world with his false hope: the ultimate monetary system and an ill-fated AIDS vaccine. More importantly, Kavidas purposes to offer the world a false salvation. Book One in The Tribulation Series
