Book Description

February 3, 2009
An American attack on Baghdad leaves heartbroken and angry survivors. Two families, one Muslim and one Christian, are wiped out; their young adult progeny are determined to avenge the loss of their loved ones. David Levy, an Israeli Secret Service Agent with a grudge of his own, knows just how to tap into the vulnerabilities that grief leaves, and organizes the training of select individuals whose desire for vengeance is strong enough to consider a deadly covert mission in America. Trainees will learn to blend in, disappear in the multicultural mix of the US and then infest the food and water supply with a deadly flu virus capable of mutating and infecting the human population. The antidote - if it works - will only be revealed under strict demands. Some team members come to realize that they could ultimately be responsible for millions of innocent deaths. Their actions could break the stalemate between the Israelis and Palestinians - or bring on unparalleled tragedy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

They Plotted Revenge is an intriguing read, and one that left the hair on the back of my neck standing up. It-s one thing to think of a war -over there- that is more out of sight and out of mind than we care to admit. It-s another thing altogether to realize that the actions that have led us to this point in history could actually be unstoppable. This story - part fiction and a whole lot of real - is about an attack set to take place in the US, right under our noses. It isn-t about bombs going off, or folks firing guns and rockets at one another. This is about getting at the very foundation of our own survival. Iraqi youths from different backgrounds within their own country are recruited as covert operators of a frightening army. They are trained to blend in, become part of the society that they are preparing to unravel. They are tasked with infecting America-s food and water with a deadly virus that can mutate to humans, and for which there may not be a ready cure in time, or at a price that we can afford. Working for someone who turns out to be a double agent, at first glance they seem just like young couples anywhere, and all of them are prepared to give up their lives for their cause. As they get to know the Americans that they hide among however, some of them lose heart and decide not to go through with the plan, but in the world that we live in, there will always be someone that will see a project through to the end, even after the battle has ended. Author Abe F. March provides us with a safe haven - a good book - to read, discuss and explore what-s really happening, and this is a book you-ll want to make time for. By Pam Robertson, Ph.D. Author of Marching Across the Heart, and the newly published short story Catch You Later. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

About the Author

Abraham F. March is an international business consultant and author, living near Landau, Germany with his wife Gisela. An active retiree, he enjoys hiking and exploring the local vineyards and can also be heard singing with a regional men's choir. Mr. March's career has taken him around the world to work in many areas from his birthplace in the USA to Canada, Europe and the Middle East. His first book, To Beirut and Back - An American in the Middle East was published in 2006, and is a memoir of his adventures that took him to Lebanon in the 1970s. Mr. March grew up in York County, Pennsylvania on the family farm, and he served in the USAF from 1957-61. His business career got underway with the computing sciences division of IBM's service bureau where he held positions as manager of administration and operations analyst. He later joined an international cosmetic company where he rapidly achieved top distributor status and was promoted to vice president of sales development and product market management, an opportunity which took throughout the USA and into Canada, Greece and Germany. With international experience and an entrepreneurial spirit, Mr. March started his own importing business headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon, for the distribution of cosmetics and toiletries to the Middle East markets. With an ease about him and a talent for developing business relationships, he also functioned as a locator of goods and services sought by Mid-Eastern clients before the civil war in Lebanon destroyed his successful business enterprise. Mr. March returned to the United States to start over, and was soon working on an international level once again. His subsequent work involved Swan Technologies, Inc., a personal computer manufacturer in West Germany, and back to the US to work with Stork NV, supporting a fleet of 1200 Fokker Aircraft. He officially retired in 2001.

Reference the Story - Santa Boy
As a child I loved the story, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and wondered why Santa and Mrs. Claus never had children. I thought that a Santa child would be a good way to bring new life to the Santa Story. Thus the story Santa Boy began and evolved over thirty-five years! Since there was a song for Rudolph, I wrote one that follows the story line for Santa Boy. Upon becoming a grandfather I dug out my treasured manuscript, and with the help of my daughter, Caroline, who enjoyed the story when she was a child, revived it. My daughter Christine sings the Santa Boy song.


Since my retirement, I have published three novels about my experiences in the Middle East and Germany. I'm currently living near Landau, Germany with my wife Gisela. I enjoy hiking, exploring the local vineyards, and I sing in regional choirs. My career has taken me from my birthplace in the USA to Canada, Europe and the Middle East.

They Plotted Revenge Against America is one of those novels you read at the very edge of your seat. It moves along with knuckle-biting suspense and intrigue. What's frightening is that the book's premise totters between fiction and possible nonfiction!

I highly recommend this book to all who read this review. Abe F. March has a winner here!

Terrorism, by definition, operates outside the traditional rules of war. It's hard to combat because attacks are no longer limited to people wearing military uniforms at well-formed battle lines: they can happen anywhere, at any time, and they may well target people who don't have any direct knowledge of the peoples and issues involved.

This is the arena of Abe F. March's chilling novel "They Plotted Revenge Against America." The novel is chilling, not because it's filled with larger than life James Bond daring-do in faraway trouble spots. Quite the contrary: this novel takes place on American soil as survivors of the American attack on Baghdad blend in to mainstream America to personally extract revenge against everyday citizens.

"They Plotted Revenge Against America" is a plausible, sobering, intricate and effectively plotted story about a group of well-trained, well-coordinated teams who slip into the U.S. with forged papers and then painstakingly work through a plan that will infect food and water supplies with a deadly virus.

These team members are not the gun-wielding, grenade-throwing stereotypical terrorists we see in most TV shows and movies. They are everyday people who have suffered personal loss and who want to fight back. Once their mission is complete, they plan--if possible--to go back to their normal lives. As the mission unfolds, they alternate between excitement and doubt while trying to avoid detection, and in the process, they discover while blending into community life, that Americans are not the monsters they expected.

Since the overall mission leader is a double agent working for Israel's Mossad, group members must not only avoid Homeland Security and other U.S. law enforcement agencies, but the highly effective Israel intelligence agency as well. This subplot is a nice touch in a book that suggests we're more vulnerable than we suspect.

I found this an enjoyable and thought-provoking read. The story was captivating from the first page and it raised awareness of some of the deep political issues that lie at the heart of the East-West conflict. Two young men, Yussef and Ahmed who were deeply bereaved, are out to seek revenge on the country and government that wiped out their entire families in Baghdad, Iraq. They travelled to Germany and assumed new identities and from then on, the espionage, the intrigue and the adventure really took off. Five stars for a top-notch political thriller that reveals the deepest feelings and paves the way toward a better world...
