Husein M. Taherbhai was born in a Muslim family and has the unique perspective of terrorism as seen through the eyes of the Muslim world. His stay in Bahrain, the Emirates and India together with his travel through Europe, the Far East and his adopted country of America provides him with the ammunition for this fiction that is a taut, intriguing thriller with far-reaching political tentaclesaa story told from the perspective of the terrorists. The story uses contemporary terrorism in a way that mixes fact along with the fiction. It depicts the plight of the poor classes that become easy targets for terrorist groups. Exotic locales, local dialect, and tongue-in-cheek humor, interspersed with religious and political interpretations, serve as condiments to the otherwise tragic story. The inclusion of God, portrayed with human attributes, adds a touch of satire to the state of human affairs, irrespective of the religion that one follows in oneas quest for human experiences. In short it is a thriller with good human interest drama that shuns easy stereotyping in favor of almost reality.
