While he waited impatiently for the convoy to arrive at any moment, Fathi Abu Marzouk wiped the drops of sweat from his face with a handkerchief that had once been white, sipped from a cup of black coffee and counted the minutes that went by slowly.
He too, like other senior officials, members of terrorist organizations, made sure to conduct himself according to the rules of caution and keeping a low profile, with the knowledge and understanding that somewhere, at any moment, there existed spy factors, who were tracking his every movement, in order to assassinate him.
Fathi Abu Marzouk had no idea, that at that very moment, the noose was actually tightening around his neck.
The plot opens a window and leads the reader through international routes, across secret intelligence organizations, who day and night are engaged in countering terrorist activities of the ISIS movement, a movement which belongs to the radical Salafist movement of Suni Islam, which holds sacred the idea of establishing a Global Islamic Califate.
On its flag, the movement has carved in blood to act through war in order to realize the dream of the establishment of the promised Islamic Califate, from Iraq to “Sham”, big Syria, which includes Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Israel.
In a world where light dances with shadow, “The Prophet’s Sword” delves into a clandestine war of espionage.
In this high-stakes chess game of duplicity, each heartbeat could be the last.
