The breathless finale to the New York Times bestselling Rebel of the Sands series will have you on the edge of your seat until the dust from the final battle clears!

But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn't have a choice. Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn't exist. As she watches those she loves most lay their lives on the line against ghouls and enemy soldiers, Amani questions whether she can be the leader they need or if she is leading them all to their deaths.

The Heroes of America's 51st State
Author: Rene Batetakang
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1639574166
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Imagine a patriot, who is endowed with intellectual and supernatural qualities, discovers very rich petroleum wells in Europe and Asia, by means of some mystic powers. When he disappears from the public eye, his only daughter rises to fame and presses unrelentingly for authorities in a faraway country - the United States, to look for her missing father. While she puts pressure on the public to make efforts to look for the missing celebrity, his family back home is taken hostage. Stunning facts about the story are its numerous turning points. A very magnificent fact about this novel is the aspect of a movie within the novel. This story is written neither to spark or invoke sectarian violence nor to inspire nations to get into international disputes. It’s thrilling aspects about the actions of the FBI, CIA, Blackwater and Chinese secret service, present scenarios from a movie. The end of the story presents an epitome of what the author tries to project about aspects of global trends — A modern world where we see China and the United States working hand in hand. As you read the story, you will come across astounding scenes from journalistic reports and thrilling schemes to subdue terrorist groups. The story deals with human rights issues and has a few historical references. It dwells on the fate of one family, the Hamiltons, the quest for might and materialism, the political influence of giant nations and their allies on the global stage, all of which sometimes boils down to the drama only found in movies.
