Publisher's Synopsis
Born with two strikes against him, as a black man in the U.S., Terence Jackson (Aadheen Aabzari) knows the odds of success favors him, but he is unhappy with the injustice often meted out to blacks in the U.S., and the spate of daily slayings of his fellow black people, by trigger happy, murderous cops, in the streets of America. In an attempt to escape getting killed by police, or incarcerated as a scapegoat for a white man's crime, in the U.S., Terence (Aadheen) decided to search for his ancestral root and lineage, and found a match! His ancestry DNA revealed his ancestors came from Somalia! He felt compelled to find his root, and embarked on a dangerous sojourn to find his bloodline in the hinterland of his ancestors, and found help in an unlikely source, in an imam, an uncle of an attractive classmate, Aamiina. But those he trusted to help him find his root, had a different agenda, for helping him. He would find himself in a new pathway of jihadism, terrorism, and mayhem, that would either define his essence, or lead him into uncharted territories, that he was unprepared for, but willing to embrace. Set to make the trip to the heartland of Islam, where the population is 98.9% Muslims, he would begin to discover more than he bargained for, and anticipated. Unbeknownst to him he was being recruited for jihad, he soon found solace in a religion, and cause, he barely knew anything about. Recognizing his limbo, he must reconcile his conflicting quests, and divided objective. For Terence (Aadheen), it was either jihad or the fulfillment of his long sought significance. But with the FBI, CIA, Mossad, M16, and Interpol, tailing him, the quest for significance took a new turn. Now he must fight for survival, rather than for Allah, or both!
