Reseña del editor:
America, thirty-five years in the future, a very different country from today's. It is now an Islamic Republic; calls to prayer echo across the cities and the Black Robes, the enforcers of public virtue, prowl the streets on the lookout for inappropriate dress or behaviour. The fear of terrorist attacks is pervasive. As the story opens, a beautiful young historian, Sarah, the niece of the head of state security, has disappeared. Her lover, Rakkim, a Fedayeen warrior, fears she is in danger. He is right. She has uncovered an explosive secret that threatens the very foundations of the New Order. She is running for her life, hunted by Darwin, the State's elite assassin, who was trained in the same unit as Rakkim. Her safety and the future of the world depend upon Rakkim's Fedayeen skills and his ability to outwit a brilliant psychopathic killer. The chase takes them from the outlaw territories of the Pacific Northwest to the anything goes glitter of Las Vegas as they battle to reveal the truth.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: Good. 416 pages. Cover worn.397 pages ; 24 cm Seattle, 2040. The S pace Needle lies crumpled. Veiled women hurry through the busy st reets. Alcohol is outlawed, replaced by Jihad Cola, and mosques d ot the skyline. New York and Washington, D.C., are nuclear wastel ands. Phoenix is abandoned, Chicago the site of a civil war battl e. At the edges of the empire, Islamic and Christian forces fight for control of a very different United States. Burning with cine matic violence, fiendish betrayal, and global intrigue, Robert Fe rrigno's thriller asks: What would happen to America if the terro rists won? After simultaneous suitcase-nuke attacks destroy New Y ork, Washington, D.C., and Mecca - attacks blamed on Israel - a c ivil war breaks out. An uneasy truce leaves the nation divided be tween an Islamic republic with its capital in Seattle, and the Ch ristian Bible Belt in the old South. In this frightening future t here are still Super Bowls and Academy Awards, but calls to Musli m prayer echo in the streets and terror is everywhere. Freedom is controlled by the state, paranoia rules, and rebels plot to rega in free will. One of the most courageous is the beautiful young h istorian Sarah Dougan, who uncovers shocking evidence that the nu clear attacks might not have been planned by Israel, evidence tha t, if true, will destabilize the nation. When Sarah suddenly goes missing, the security chief of the Islamic republic calls upon R akkim Epps, her secret lover and a former elite warrior, to find her - no matter what the risk. But as Rakkim searches for Sarah, he is tracked by Darwin, a brilliant psychopathic killer trained in the same secretive unit as Rakkim. To survive, Rakkim must bec ome Darwin's assassin - a most forbidding challenge. A bloody, ne rve-racking chase takes them through the looking-glass world of t he Islamic States of America, and culminates dramatically as Rakk im and Sarah battle to expose the truth to the entire world. Can the couple outrun Darwin? Who is really behind the nuke attacks? Will Sarah and Rakkim stay alive long enough to deliver the truth ? Does a nation divided have a prayer?--BOOK JACKET.
