Book Description
Gregory Grey has left his family behind in America to find and live a simpler lifestyle in the Middle East. Relocating to Tehran, Iran, Greg takes employment as an engineer to determine sites in the Persian Gulf for radio installations. A hard worker and drinker, Greg immerses himself in the mountains and the geography of the country. Through his travels, Greg begins to experience troubles with work, which ultimately lead to love and betrayal. As his personal life begins to unwind, political unrest is invading the country Greg now calls home.

Through his journeys in the mountains and his friendships forged with his Muslim co-workers, William Corkutt’s new work of historical fiction, "The Mountains of Allah," brings to life the people and beauty of the Middle East. A work of fiction, yet through true details provided from his own experiences in the Middle East, Corkutt has written a novel of beauty and freedom surrounded by the horrible events that led to the demise of the Middle East.
About the Author
Born after the depression, William Corkutt grew up in the coal–mining region of eastern Pennsylvania. Following high school, Corkutt enlisted in the U.S. Army, "A handy means of escaping home for poor boys without the means or encouragement of college," states the author. He spent four years serving the Army in Germany, returning to the U.S. to work within the automobile factories in Detroit. Corkutt attended a small mining college in Northern Michigan where he earned his Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering. His technical training led him to Alaska, England and Europe, working on Cold War projects for the United States. Upon returning to the United States, Corkutt earned his Master’s degree in mathematics and education from Columbia University. He proceeded to work as a field engineer in Iran for four years and Saudi Arabia for two. Now retired, Corkutt devotes his time to his two daughters and his writing.
