For eighteen years, Marie had been on the run from Islamic State terrorists who had built a caliphate in her country.

A Catholic, she was the target of Christian persecution by the Muslim terrorist group who had established their jihadist mission at home and worldwide.

The terrorists committed genocide and ethnic cleansing on various non-Muslim ethnicities including Christians, and with their massive number of members worldwide, was a force hard to eliminate in the blink of an eye.

Unaware that the police were looking after her family as it was a TOP SECRET mission, they came in droves to kill her in various ways and ended up getting netted in traps laid by the police instead.

In the same instance, the local police commissioned the assistance of the international police (INTERPOL) to safeguard her family. The police had an obligation to look after Marie and her family after they had broken into countless terror cells in the country by just following her.

And to make things more bizarre for Marie, she learned that someone with links to the Mafia had fallen in love with her. He enlisted the help of worldwide, authoritative figures to join the police to move her to a safe haven.

Read about a 21st-century escape, mafia-type, and a miraculous satellite-saving technology that finally saved Marie and her family.

Read about how the British, American, and French intelligence together with the local police, scooped in via satellite to save Marie from the hands of Islamic extremists.

In the final analysis, it wasn't a war between Muslim extremists and persecuted Christians, it was a war where good triumphs evil.

Interesting novel with a unique point of view regarding terrorism with a very fascinating protagonist. When Marie discovers she and her family are targets of a jihadist group she does whatever she can to help eradicate them. Quick read and well drawn characters from start to finish. You will enjoy.

Terrible! Utter nonsense, completely unbelievable.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2022

Oh, where to start when reviewing this poor excuse for a book? First off, where's the dialogue? Fully 98% of the book (I'm being generous - it's probably closer to 99%) is exposition, with the lead character, Marie, telling us what happened. In fact, the very first thing in quotation marks happens at 24% into the book, on page 16 of the Kindle version, and it's a thought Marie has, not a conversation. All tell and no show. Also, it would be nice if the author stuck to one tense, but she doesn't. And the book is full of complete, nonsensical happenings, e.g., missiles explode at Marie's feet but she is only 'slightly injured.' !!! And what are the mysterious laser satellites that seem to play a part in the story? Can't figure out what they are or what they're really doing.

My apologies to the author. I understand that writing a book is difficult, but I can't even bring myself to say, "Nice try." This one just doesn't make the cut, and I find it difficult to believe the other reviews of this book (three of them, all four stars, as I write this). Save your money, people. NOT recommended!

A harrowing tale of terrorism

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2022

I’ve never read a historical novel or non-fictional account of someone caught in the grips of being hunted down by sinister forces, in this case, Muslim jihadist terrorists. At some points it was hard to take seriously, like the musings of someone with a serious paranoia problem, but at the same time it did seem believable. I particularly like Gomes’ descriptions of people and places and there was some very good writing at times. I would recommend joining a writing group or class and to work on the spacing between paragraphs and some other format issues. Author has a lot of promise. .

A Different Type of Spy Novel

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2022

This book has the makings of a terrific spy caper. The author seems extremely knowledgeable about the subject and there is a ton of drama explored. I loved the concept of a persecuted character hearing voices, possibly as a result of her PTSD from being tortured. Overall, the novel is very original and believable. It’s also extremely easy to read. Definitely recommended!

A story from the heart but poorly structured

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

This short story attempts to confront a serious subject ;the great conflicts of religion ,ideology and terrorism. The story is told by Marie who is a Christian in a Muslim country. It tells of her fears for her family from a hidden enemy. She travels from a country ( we are not told which) to India ,to seek inner peace in a catholic Grotto. It’s tells of how she is plagued by ‘ satellite ‘ voices, switching her narrative to a prison where we are to assume she was once held captive. Unfortunately the whole story is poorly structured , certainly needs proper editing. The result., confusing the reader. But I applaud the writers attempt at confronting an issue is so prevalent in today’s world.
