More About This Book

Overview

A suspense-thriller about a nightmare scenario-a countdown to a Mumbai-style attack on U.S. soil, where the FBI, the Israeli Mossad, the US-based Iranian clandestine terror network, and the Islamic Jihad fraternity, all engaged in a timeless conflict, which plays out to a crescendo that comes to a head before the dramatic conclusion.

The story offers an ample dose of realism, a cast of intense characters who engage in love, lust, and violence. It portrays the Jihad culture with its rationale and the volcano that breeds an irrational obsession with death. Moreover, it builds on the Jihadists' motivation for targeting so many innocents and exploiting the victims' massacre as a stepping-stone to their dream of eternal paradise next to Allah's throne.

The real question is not whether Jihad terrorists' plots will ever cease to emerge-there is no chance of that. The question the book seeks to answer is, will the next one be stopped before it's too late?

Editorial Reviews

-- Midwest Book Review
A suspenseful and topical thriller, highly recommended
-- Readaholic
An action packed thrill-ride that doesn't let up
Charles Benninghoff LA Conservative Examiner
This story is so well developed and told, it took everything I had to put the book down and go to sleep! I give it an A+
-- RLDBooks.com
This author knows his stuff and uses his knowledge authoritatively in this brand new, exciting, heart-stopping thriller. You'll never look at terrorism the same way again.
-- Luxury Reading
An action-packed, fictional account of what could possibly happen on US soil…or what has already been prevented behind the scenes of normal American life.

Meet the Author

Dr. Avi Perry grew up among many of the character-types depicted in the story, During the Six-Day-War in 1967, he was called away from his university studies to serve in the Israeli military reserves as an intelligence expert (including behind enemy lines on the Golan Heights). He gained valuable and relevant experience in covert communications technology and a variety of spy craft and methods. That experience became even more relevant during the months and years following the war, where it was put into practice in military and state security applications.
Avi spent the past four decades in the US, first as a Ph.D. student, then as a professor at Northwestern University, as a distinguished staff member and manager at Bell Laboratories, and as a delegate of the US and Lucent Technologies to the ITU—the UN International Standards body in Geneva. Lastly, he was Vice President at NMS Communications, in charge of voice quality technologies.
As a professor at Northwestern University Dr. Perry worked on a research project—a mathematical algorithm designed for solving certain type of optimization problems. The breakthrough algorithm, or a variant of which, is being used today (among many applications) inside Microsoft Excel as part of its optimization module called “Solver”.
In recent years, Dr. Perry has been hosting a popular talk show on Paltalk News Network (PNN), titled "Politically Incorrect Straight Talk with Dr. Avi Perry," where he discusses and analyzes current political, social and economic issues with special emphasis on US politics, Arab-Israeli conflict, Islam, stealth Jihad, and the global economy. In addition to the American and Israeli media, his opinion and analysis have also been sought and broadcasted by al-Jazeera. He has also been (still is) writing a popular political column on a regular basis for The Jerusalem Post newspaper, Premium op-eds section, Israel National News, and various online Magazines.
