Radcliff, a divorcee and a lately pensioned FBI agent, cohabits with Mary Packard, another failure when it comes to marriage. Radcliff has started to write a book that predicted imminent danger of worldwide terrorist attack in the coming decade. Three days after he started writing the book his fears have inadvertently came true, and terrorists have derailed trains and kidnapped passengers, controlled railway tunnels in many cities around the world, toppled Gulf States, and declared a World Caliphate centered in Mecca. Mary Packard was one of the kidnapped people in the derailed train attack in Washington State. Radcliff, determined to save her, faces her kidnappers in a tunnel fight. The leader of the terrorists come out to be, his old fanatic Christian, college classmate and the classmate of Mary Packard's elder brother. A world war, which some consider as the Third World War, with the United Nations Forces on one hand and the Mujahidin Power on the other followed. In the conclusion of the War, the defeated mujahidin leaders were brought to a World War Criminal Court. The Court, unlike similar courts hitherto established in history, gave verdict in a win-win situation. 'The Immortals' is the story of the complex post Cold War era and the abuse and wounds Radcliff, Mary Packard and their friends carried to the age of nanotechnology. It is a story of love that transcends backward values, abuses, and hatred. The friends discover contrary to their previous belief that love is an individual preference and a private affair and children upbringing needed sacrifice of pleasure and leisure. 'The Immortals' is a book for those who like to use history as a tool to predict the future and not only to understand the past.
