"Somewhere out there lurking...this story makes those terrifying possibilities all too real. Once you start reading it, just try to put it down."--Mark Walters, Professor of Journalism,University of South Florida, St. Petersburg As the undersecretary of Homeland Security for terrorist activity, Frank Williams meets with the president of the United States to tell him the disturbing news. Intelligence has uncovered a new terrorist group more sophisticated and dangerous than al-Qaeda known as the Brotherhood of the Red Nile. Their goal is the destruction of America. Half a world away, near the small Syrian town of Al-Mukharram, mastermind terrorist Mohamed el Sargon has two stolen Soviet-era suitcase nuclear bombs in his possession. He puts together a team of experts--a terrorist "think tank"--to plan an unprecedented attack on the United States. Sacrificing their lives for the cause is a small price to pay for the extermination of their enemies. Intelligence operatives around the world scramble to stop the Brotherhood. But will they be able to find them in time? From the halls of the White House to the rebel camps of the Middle East, The Brotherhood of the Red Nile delivers a chilling, modern-age tale of danger and heroism.
Paul Farid was once a member of the royal family who openly persecuted any Sudanese who failed to practice Islam. Now he's a Christian who puts his life on the line to aid the persecuted Sudanese. His wife, Larson, is a doctor committed to giving her life for peace. Colonel Ben Alier has fought for twenty-one years against the government's mandates to control the oil, religion, slavery, and politics of Sudan. He neither trusts nor rests any hope in the newly formed government. Ben's health deteriorates while Larson finds out she is going to have a baby. Their worlds collide, and as the relational tensions escalate so does the physical danger.
This is the final book of the Brotherhood Trilogy, but not the end of your relationship with the principal plays. The journey we have taken has been full of twists and turns, surprises, and almost believable events. Many of you have written to me about your experiences with the first two installments. Be warned -- you will find a different tone in this final book, “America Responds”. People who have read the third book of the series earlier wondered if it were possible to publish it before the 2014 mid-term election? I wrote all three books to try and educate America about the serious challenges in fighting terrorists. Book three uses fiction to convey some significant ways to prevent a cataclysmic attack, make America strong again, protect our borders and most of all, make us all proud to be Americans. Dan Perkins, 2015 Dan Perkins has finished his first trilogy in what some say was an almost impossible timeframe. His books have left some people’s questions unanswered and Dan hopes to answer those outstanding questions and perhaps raise some new ones in book three. In the future, he would like to also try his hand at writing historical fiction, with Abraham Lincoln as the subject. For now though, Dan is working on his current project in a new book called “Terrorist Gold”, featuring favorite characters from the Trilogy, Ted Baker and the Pathfinders. You will have an opportunity, as in his previous books, to read the first chapter of “Terrorist Gold” at the end of this book. Dan is very appreciative of your feedback and encourages you to return to your place of purchase and write a review.
