-Fear Not Death is the Ultimate Weapon-
Brian K. Ellerby
The No Death Option
The “No-Death Option” is a fictional work centering on Youssef Aziz. Youssef immigrated to the United States with his mother and father the year after Gulf War I to escape persecution from Saddam Hussein for helping the Americans. Youssef has an American education, but unknown to his family and close associates, Youssef maintains close ties with one of the radical Islamic factions in his home country of Iraq. Like a dormant virus in the human body awaiting the right conditions to awaken, so too has Youssef’s and his plans lain dormant in America. Then events at his job cause him to implement his plan of attack on an unsuspecting America. His actions have serious though not deadly effects on Americans but if not stopped would kill their great American engine of consumption, the Economy. The Death of the Economy would result in the death of America without killing its people. The No-Death Option takes current events occurring in our country and tells a gripping story of what could happen if terrorists ever figure out what truly makes America work. The West, rich in political and economic wealth, has continued for centuries to move into areas rich with resources, though not welcoming of Western culture. This results in conflict that until the twenty-first century had been won by the West --- not by its intellectual prowess, but by its economic might. As with the Giant Goliath, this advantage would soon come to an end. Some in the Muslim world, the radicals or as the leaders of the West would have one to believe, the evil doers had discovered, as did David in the Bible, a small pebble delivered in the right manner could bring the giant to its knees. The war between good and evil continues.
By Anil Kasula - This book is very thoughtfully written. A really good book with an intricate story yet relates to our everyday lives. A must read for all to get an understanding of the world we live in.I read the whole book over the weekend and I hope the author has another book in the works. I highly recommend this book..
By Theddus M Hartley - Being a longtime fan of suspense novels, particular those centering on large metropolitan cities, I thought this novel hit the target dead center.The gripping realism could easily cause the average American to flash back to the unforgettable events of 9/11. The content matter is current and relevant. Never before in our history has the real fear of terrorism at our very doorstep been more evident, as compared to our pre 9/11, existence when those were just issues seen on CNN news clips in other remote parts of the world. This books illustrates the realities of the geo-political issues occurring abroad, as well as the ego jostling which occurs in our nation's Capital, between the individuals we entrust with our nation's security.In summation, I don't think this novel leaves us with answers...I think it leaves us with questions! In our post 9/11, Patriot Act, Homeland Security America...Are we any safer now? Or, is it all just a grand illusion?I think this author's literary talent places him in a class of distinguished authors who leave their fans waiting in eager anticipation for......... MORE!
Thrilling in the extreme, is a definite page-flipper.
By Tim Watts - I'm prone to starting books, but seldom finish them unless they keep my attention. This
one definitely did. It will keep you on your toes throughout, and desperately waiting for the plot to
thicken, which it does, It will make you think hard about the state of our national security, and just how
safe we are. How much we can depend on our government and our armed forces to seek out and squash
terrorist threats. I would recommend this work to anyone who enjoys action, and intrigue.
By Dennis Woods - The author of this well written book has his fingers on the pulse of America. I believe
some terrorists and many politicians realize that fear can easily cripple and paralyze us in america. My
hope from reading this book is that people in America wake up before its too late.
