When the American Ambassador to Iraq announces her true identity and sparks the Arab Revolution and Reformation of Islam on a global scale, the world is turned upside down. "Safina" is the first book in a trilogy that spans three generations of thrilling intrigue and battles, and tells her story of courageous commitment to the struggle for freedom around the globe. From Safina's cruel beginning as an abused eleven year old child bride in the deserts of Iraq, to the highest society of European aristocracy and power, she joins forces with Lieutenant Colonel, Brecken Petersen, a United States Marine Special Forces combat-hardened veteran, and takes her position as the most powerful leader on the planet. She fights every inch of her way from Basra to Amsterdam, and to Paris, on to Washington DC and finally to Egypt. She establishes the UFAS, (United Federation of Arab States), and recruits member states around the world to join the UFN (United Free Nations). Safina and her fellow revolutionaries fight to liberate Islam from 1400 years of barbaric enslavement of half its population - women. The United States Government is in flux, on the verge of civil war. Europe is wounded, and pockets of serious counter insurgencies continue to be a source of concern.
