ABOUT THE BOOK

When a crazed Emir coerces a brilliant German gang into stealing neutron missiles from a secret complex in the New Mexico desert, world peace is forfeit. The official investigation can’t move fast enough, so it’s up to Dr. Peter Shepherd to recover them before Jerusalem is destroyed.

Shepherd and his mentor, Dr. Jeremiah Longstreet, are inventors of an experimental new technology that manipulates reality at the sub-atomic level, called the "Reality Skew."

Pete enters Sharkaif along its coastline in disguise, intent upon using Skew power to find and ruin the missiles. Rapidly discovered and arrested, however, Pete is imprisoned and tortured.

Despite the pain, Pete must use gritty determination as well as Skew power to save a holy city and reverse a madman’s plan to create a new Arabian Empire as "Mahdi," the leader foretold by the ancient prophesies.

To win the battle he must first find and then destroy the missiles, but the odds are not good.
