Mother City: Mayhem In Paradise [Paperback]

Nathan Goldwyn, the special needs son of multibillionaires Jack and Carmen, enjoys a life of comfort until he is abducted by a global jihadist kidnapping ring. An international standoff ensues when children of various faiths and nationalities are corralled into a cargo ship and sent to a geopolitically important choke point known as the Strait of Hormuz.

In a race against time, and with little help from Washington or Tel Aviv, the Goldwyns recruit a team of counterterrorism experts to thwart an evil plot spawned by antagonist Imam Faisel Rauf and his sinister protEgE, Asram al-Munir.

Mother City leaves readers with a coldly objective impression of the postmodern world where danger lurks at every turn, even in unexpected places, and where unilateral actions beyond state control may indeed constitute the most effective way to protect the West.
