The “No-Death” Option The No-Death Option is dedicated to the memory of my loving mother, Ruth Elizabeth (Peguese) Ellerby – June 19, 1930, as the sun rose on a bright blue sky – April 10, 1998, 1:30 a.m., as the sun was poised to rise yet again, your bright blue sky had turned to a gray smoky haze. Your last decade clouded by Alzheimer’s but you were able to see through the haze and knew who I was until the end. Love, your baby boy - Brian.

The book, 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.
