Arabian Assignment Slavery and Terrorism in North Africa

A young African-American couple travel to Sudan to buy slave's freedom but are themselves captured by slavers and used as pawns by powerful political forces. An ex-British commando white hunter from Kenya and a young CIA operative mount a clandestine rescue mission, but along the way uncover the deadliest plot yet by the world's most feared terrorist, Osama bin-Laden and his organization, al-Qaeda. The two mis-matched heroes must not only find and rescue the young Americans, but try to prevent the terrorists from causing thousands of horrifying deaths. The two men are forced to battle through various factions of Sudan's nineteen-year long civil war using their combat expertise and sniper skills to stay alive. Enemies abound, including Islamic terrorists, desert warlords, Sudanese army units, the Russian Mafia and professional assassins. Despite the desperate circumstances, love and romance still manage to survive, but old relationships alter as the true character of the participants rises to the surface under such extreme pressure. Based on true life events, current political balances and very possible scenarios, this novel gives you a well-informed look into the shameful, dark world of the slavery trade today. Through the character's introspection and actions, you'll also see how and why fanatic terrorists of the Islamic Jihad view their cause as a holy mandate to bring death and destruction to the western world. A natural sequel to the highly-acclaimed book, ELEPHANT GUN, this is a thinking person's novel that pulls no punches. It is not for the faint-hearted nor weak-minded.Carpenter, Phillip E. is the author of 'Arabian Assignment Slavery and Terrorism in North Africa' with ISBN 9780595191079 and ISBN 059519107X.
