Discouraged he decides with selected members of his cabinet, to build a giant underground vault, code-named Noah-2, to save 20,000 people from what he knows will be certain destruction. Frustrated by bureaucracy and internal resistance, Rutledge brings in a renegade Pentagon contract manager, Dana Litman, to head the project. She is tough, beautiful, and gets the job done. What even the president doesn’t know, is that she has slowly turned the underground vault into a flying battle station. 

As it was in the days of the Noah of the Bible, people actively mock the president’s predictions – all the while he continues to build the ark Noah-2. Eventually the Pentagon’s Space Command gets word of a armada heading for earth. Still, officials sluff it off as friendly first-contact. Some of the Pentagon "Brass" secretly take precautions and tool up for a possible incursion. When the armada finally arrives, they bring with them a reign of destruction and horror as millions die. 

The president is thought dead when Air Force One is confirmed shot down. The ex-Vice, now President, continues to wage a losing terrestrial war. Deep underground, the former, thought-to-be-dead President Rutledge is finally told by Dana that she blatantly disobeyed his orders and that the vault Noah-2 is indeed the battle cruiser Posterity. Armed with this new reality, he makes the agonizing decision to engage the alien. He decides to fight in a spectacular battle whose outcome is never for a minute guaranteed. The story will hold you on the edge of your seat right to the very end. And if you watch closely, For Posterity's Sake will reveal some wonderful, and not-so-wonderful truths about the heart of humanity along the way to entertaining you with a great story.
