Our story is set in the not-too-distant future. Muslims have
succeeded in becoming the majority of several European
populations, adding to their dominance in the Middle East. With
the accelerating spread of radical Islam and Sharia law as the
backdrop, our character-driven novel tells the story of a divided
world and two men who epitomize the ideological chasm. The
collision of these forces is predictable, the fallout is anything
but.
Blake Kershaw, native son of Virginia, joined the Army out of
high school and pushed through years of training to join the
elite Special Forces. After recovering from multiple injuries
acquired in the Hindu Kush, he pursued college to advance his
career. Blake’s character and refined skills make him a choice
recruit for agencies operating at the leading edge of the war on
terror.
The Sodality, (operating publically as Global Reparations, an
NGO) was formed by a small group of mostly American retired
leaders, businessmen, politicians, and ministers. What
started as a loose connection of friends and colleagues
crystallized into a powerful network dedicated to fighting the
onslaught of global jihad and those conspiring with them for
their own agendas.
Based in the Czech Republic with facilities in fifteen locations
worldwide, the Sodality runs missions ranging from sabotaging
terrorist finances and supply lines to assassinations of
terrorist leaders. Their formation and activities were inspired
by relentless attacks on a constitutional republic, attacks on
the West, and fecklessness government leaders.
Omar, born and raised in Lebanon is rescued and taken in by the
Muslim Brotherhood at the age of seven. His intelligence and
strength flourish under the tutelage of a powerful and
well-connected jihadist. The lessons learned at the feet of his
mother and her inculcates Omar with a deep understanding of
Islam and hatred for anyone outside the faith, especially the
Zionists and their allies.
His dedication and training rewards Omar with favor from his
superiors and ascension through the ranks. He becomes the go-to
guy for the most important and dangerous missions, including arms
transfers, kippings, assassinations, and incursion assaults.
The OISC: Organization of Islamic Sura Councils, an international
assemblage of Islamic leaders in religion, business, and politics
from fifty-seven nations formed to coordinate the myriad jihadist
groups toward a global caliphate. Though it seems to the outside
world Islam is united, a deep division followed the death of
Mohammad and the struggle over who would take the reins of power.
The world media is helpful in limiting the exposure of the
violence between the factions and the resulting alliances
connecting governments and sects.
As the spread of the Muslim religion accelerates toward
dominance, the war between Sunnis and Shi’as is subjugated to the
common desire to destroy Israel and America. They can divide the
world between them after the Great Satan is obliterated.
As Omar’s accomplishments compile, he moves closer to the OISC
power base. He lusts after greater re and ascension to
the upper echelons of the council. His pursuit also makes him a
target in the sites of the Sodality.
The paths of our main characters are destined to cross and when
they do, a series of events are ignited neither could predict nor
want. The ultimate result of their conflict will take our readers
by surprise.
Global Reparations approaches Blake Kershaw when he leaves the
after an assignment with Delta Force. Because he
remained officially dead according to public record, he was the
ideal choice to carry out precise missions against jihadist
targets. Omar is the enticement used to recruit Blake and becomes
his singular obsession. Battle, as they say, is always a fluid
environment and in this case Blake finds it’s also toxic. The
skewed outcome of their war sets a series of plotlines in motion
which reach a climax of mangled relationships and purposes.
