Rick had served in Iraq, written extensively about Islam and Arab nations, and risen to the rank of colonel in the Army Reserve-but he never expected to be thrown in the middle of an operation sparked by his own friend's murder by ISIS. Rick's friend, Ramzi, was brutally murdered, his body put on gruesome display in Egypt, all perhaps in retaliation for converting from Islam to Christianity. He had seen the underbelly of Islam, and decided following Christ was what his heart and soul needed to be free. He saw that it was less of a religion as it was a political movement-one with goals and policies he did not want to follow. And for this, he lost his life. His father lost a son. His wife lost a husband. His children lost a father. As Rick comes to terms with his friend's death, it becomes apparent that it is a symptom of a much larger problem that he must face. Will he find Ramzi's murderers and bring them to appropriate justice in a culture that sees apostates as deserving of such an end? Will he be able to orchestrate an operation to subvert a planned drone attack in the U.S. Luke Lloyd was trained as a Middle East specialist while serving in the U.S. Army.

He has taught off and on at his church and at his Continuing Care Facility, Freedom Plaza, where he has resided since 2001.

Michael Morpurgo Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011
Several of his other stories have been adapted for screen and stage, including My Friend Walter, Why the Whales Came and Kensuke's Kingdom. Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.
He started the charity Farms for City Children in 1976 with his wife, Clare, aimed at relieving the “poverty of experience” many young children feel in inner city and urban areas. Michael is also a patron of over a dozen other charities. Living in Devon, listening to Mozart and working with children have provided Michael with the ideas and incentive to write his stories. He spends half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories for children. "For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out - the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers." Michael received an OBE in December 2006 for his services to literature.
