Synopsis

The Middle East continues to seethe in revolts, terrorism, wars and repression. Not only harmful to western business interests, but likely to spread chaos to their very borders. In the interests of their friends and allies in the region, British Prime Minister Wilson decides to come up with an initiative to lessen the tension and bring some peace to the area. He sends, as his envoy, a Sudanese businessman with good links in the Middle East. At first it appears to be going well, until it dawns on first the British, and then the Americans that their "envoy" is working to his own agenda. Mohamed Amin Osman intends to stop the terrorism and wars of the Middle East. But in a way the Americans and Europeans never dreamed of. Shifting, forever, the balance of power.

About the Author

Osama Salih joined the family mercantile business immediately after University. Thirteen years later he came to the conclusion that there must be a more stimulating way of occupying one's mind than strangling oneself with a tie and weighing oneself down with a suit the first thing in the morning. Every morning. He therefore determined to find an occupation that allowed him to set his own hours, his own dress code and to turn idle day dreaming into a rewarding profession. After ruling out money laundering as too risky, he settled on writing. He lives in London, when tolerable, and Sudan when conditions allow. This is his first published novel.
