    In this Novel, our hero, Arthur, a regular church goer and a married father of two children, leaves his native Wales, UK, for a two years assignment with a charitable foundation on the Island of Mindanao, the Philippines. Exposed to a more permissive society than his own, he fends off various temptations until he meets Didi. His love for her breaks his ability to think rationally and he accepts to participate in a scheme developed by her shrewd brother that would free him to marry her. For a fee and with the help of the Islamic fundamentalist movement of Abu Sayyaf, active on the Island, his death is staged in a car accident where his body is presumably burnt beyond recognition. Arthur then marries Didi under an assumed name. With time his life becomes increasingly turbulent and circumstances force him to try and redeem his original identity. However, he finds the task daunting as he struggles to start a new life with Didi, back in the UK, and reconcile it with his own British family who gave him for dead twelve years earlier. Eventually, things fall into place with the various pieces fitting together. While the characters in this novel are fictious, their actions are woven in non-fiction real life settings, reflected in present day issues, such as the difficulties sometimes encountered in keeping up a married life, the behavior of persons as they move from one culture to another and the underlying causes and realities of fundamentalist insurgency movements.

    Riding a bicycle on a country byway and writing in the quiet chambers of the writer and athlete's own personal solitude represent forms of meditation. Balancing his life from a fulcrum that pivots from a personal to a societal vantage point requires him to navigate many roads with numerous twists and turns. On this journey sometimes the unseen gravel under his wheel causes him to slip and glide unexpectedly crashing into unconsciousness. Upon waking up, he chooses to question his existence in the wake of the influence of some elements of philosophy, history, art, politics and other cultural topics that shape his opinions and raison d'être as a citizen of the global community.Stream of consciousness serves to blend the spiritual, intellectual and physical needs of the diligent wordsmith to examine metaphysical quandaries, much like Don Quixote, that cause him to fall off of Rocinante in order to rise up and equipoise himself again and again. It is in this space of equilibrium where he decides to find meaning and peace within himself and to dialogue with his fellow readers who are interested in untangling the perplexities of living. Instead of avoiding these difficult and confounding philosophical "thorns," as many do, he forges forward with his pen/lance to unravel the mysteries that naturally want to blossom from the seed of unexplored truths. By doing this, he has made a conscious decision to live purposefully, as Goethe would suggest, in a world where he is mindful of himself and others.

    Istanbul in 1956 was a city very much affected by the Cold War. It served as a destination for Eastern Europeans being smuggled through the Iron Curtain and was a transfer point for smuggling from the Middle East to Europe. Most importantly, the 1950's was a time of growing American military and economic aid to Turkey.Soviet and nationalist communist entities viewed the generous American support as a national security threat, leading to a heightened interest on their part in learning what steps the Americans were planning to take or the status of initiatives already underway.In this novel's fictional scenario the close knit American expat community of Istanbul, composed of U.S. Consulate personnel, undercover operatives of other U.S. agencies, retirees, businessmen, students and others, is rumored to have a spy in their midst.After a CIA agent is murdered while investigating the rumor, Alan Harper, a young CIA operative fresh from an assignment in North Africa, is tasked with finding out who ordered the killing while also being asked to take up where the dead agent left off.The young Alan Harper, only a few years out of journalism school and the completion of his CIA training, undertakes his third major assignment; his first being his undercover work in Calcutta in 1955 in connection with the city's forthcoming municipal elections; his second being an assessment of the geopolitical status of the province of Cyrenaica, Libya, after Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal in 1956.Teaming up with Harper during this new and dangerous assignment is Anne Small, a CIA agent based in Beirut who ostensibly works for UNESCO. She poses as Harper's girlfriend while Harper is purportedly in Istanbul to write a feature article on the growing popularity of Istanbul as an American tourist destination.

    "e;What do I strive to contribute through my passion and visions? I want to help make the world make a little more sense. I want to do work as a critic and journalist that helps increase the audience of work that deserves exposure and explain why it deserves exposure. And eventually I want to create artistic work of my own - in the form of fiction or essays - that, in its own way, does the same thing - work that illustrates connections, puts things in context and, ultimately, makes people realize that for all the insane bullshit that's going on out there (and has been going on out there since time immemorial), the world is really a pretty cool place."e; --AJ
