Produktbeschreibung
In 1936 and at just 17years old, Yusuf Abbas murders two desert travellers for their camels and worldly goods. In 1950 and now calling himself Sheikh Yusuf Abbas, he murders a British Ambassador and the members of a British oil exploration company, shortly afterwards, when a neighbouring Sheikh and his family are poisoned, he merges their lands to create the Sabba Oil empire. On the other side of the world, Richard Neilson, a sickly 14-year-old is devastated when his beloved father (whilst working in Egypt) is decapitated by Arab fanatics. He vows to avenge his death. Two years later, and having thrown himself into a gruelling fitness regime, he enlists in the army and eventually wins selection into the SAS. Najeeb Abbas (Yusuf's son) is a malevolent, unremorseful psychopath who, upon leaving Cambridge University with a degree in nuclear physics, persuades his father to fund a desert research facility to tackle global warming. But beneath the façade, his intentions are much darker and the consequences of his actions prove fatal for his remorseful father and potentially devastating for the Gulf of Mexica and Canadian Cantrell's oilfields. Fate throws these two polar opposite lives together, and once again Richard's family is threatened by Abbas' deep-rooted intentions to destroy. Will he succeed? Or will Richard finally get the revenge he's spent most of his life planning? Discover for yourself in this dark, gritty, and electrifying world of Al-Qaeda, terrorist conspiracies, SAS heroes, M16 agents, suicide bombings, assassination plans and desert ops - where revenge stops at nothing.
Autorenporträt
Michael was born in 1939 and educated at Cathays High School. His working life was involved in civil engineering construction contracts of all types. Michael's greatest engineering challenge came as early as 1963 to overcome the problems on a section of the most formidable contract his company had. The Blackrock Section of the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road was an engineering nightmare. As the section engineer, he was responsible for construction of the carriageway... blasting a large quantity of rock from the narrow gorge, and overcoming a major geological failure. It was a truly memorable opening day when Michael witnessed traffic flowing unhindered between Abergavenny and Brynmawr. His first novel, From Dingle With Love. was inspired during three decades working for an Irish Civil engineering company. The company was mainly manned by wonderful characters from Co. Cork, Sligo, Galway, Tipperary, Kerry, Limerick, etc. On many occasions, Michael told his wife of everyday occurrences explaining how ingenious they were to ease his problems. Carol made notes of many occasions and persuaded him to write a novel when he retired.
