The Prophet #1
John Matthews
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Sam Tynnan is convinced that with his latest novel, The Prophet, a unique interweaving of ancient prophecies with current-day Islamic terrorism, he’s written the thriller of the year. But when he finds himself targeted, he realizes that some people are determined to bury what’s he’s written.
Adel Al-Shaffir, Egyptian-born, heads an Arabic language ‘activity’ tracking centre at the forefront of hunting down the world’s leading terrorist, Abu Khalish.
But as Tynnan’s manuscript starts being played out in real-life with a chain of bomb attacks and his path collides with Al-Shaffir’s, the question begs: could what Tynnan’s written be used to avoid the prophesied Armageddon of his manuscript?
Or are both of them merely being used as bit players in that script, a terrifying odyssey in which ultimate conflict is unavoidable. A case of art mirroring life or life mirroring art? – with the stakes as never before.

** Read the book that publishers didn’t want you to read! **
At the height of my career with Penguin, between Past Imperfect and Ascension Day, I wrote a novel called ‘The Second Amendment.’ Too American a theme, said Penguin; too controversial, said US publishers. However, to my agent and numerous readers since, in terms of a hard-edged, no compromises, adrenalin-rush thrill ride, it was my best book.
Too controversial? We should recall that pre-911, the Oklahoma bombing was the biggest terrorist attack to take place on US soil; and the NRA continues to be one of the most powerful lobby groups.
In the ten years since first writing The Second Amendment, there have been over 200,000 gun deaths in the USA, from simple domestic or street arguments to drive-by shootings or Columbine-style school massacres. It remains an enigma of US society that there isn’t as strong a voice for the victims as for the groups keen to preserve guns; which is no doubt why, still ten years on, gun control remains one of the hottest debates in US society and beyond.
Edit notes: updates and changes for some US idiomatics have been made on the 20th November, 2012.
