Daniel receives a rather mathematical communique from Gabriel. But do the numbers mean exactly what they seem to mean?

It’s a new day and a new empire, and Daniel once again finds himself in line for promotion. But his subordinates play politics and set him up to get eaten.

Daniel’s people are finally heading home and rebuilding. Daniel is finally Prime Minister. All is finally right with the world! — and then Daniel receives a piece of bad news that just keeps on getting worse.

An angel reads Daniel a long passage from the Book of Truth, outlining — in far too much detail — the next three hundred years of history.

The angel finishes his reading from the Book of Truth, and Daniel is told it is time for him to retire, even though his work is not finished.
