Assem Akram

The '1492' Conspiracy

A Machiavellian Plot to Seize the Holy Land

and Keep the White House

Fiction

 

A group of politically ambitious and religiously inspired individuals in Washington believe that it was no coincidence the year Columbus discovered America, Spain finished the Reconquista, chasing the Muslim Arabs out and then expelling the Jews.  

      The instigators of the ‘1492’ conspiracy believe that God/Destiny has chosen them to finish what Ferdinand and Isabel had started five centuries earlier and to bring the Holy Land back under the protective wing of Christianity. To the Vice President, whose Machiavellian plot requires the kindling of a war between Israel and its neighbors, the success of ‘1492’ means his own election as the next President of the United States. 

      Haftemizan, a consultant on international affairs, is recruited by Interpol’s cell on ‘Unconventional Terrorism’ to help investigate fraudulent purchases of bio-weapons. During his investigation, in pair together with Agent Ava, Haftemizan progressively realizes that he’s been drawn into the middle of a much larger scheme involving political leaders in Washington, which threatens to ignite a major international conflict. 

      Will they be able to connect the dots and uncover the ‘1492’ conspiracy before the world is engulfed in a conflagration of cataclysmic proportions?

      In The ‘1492’ Conspiracy, Assem Akram takes the reader through twists and turns, mixing moments of suspenseful intensity and others with witty and sometimes frankly caustic humor in an unexpected blend of political satire and thriller. The ‘1492’ Conspiracy can also be viewed as a cautionary tale of the kind of influence extremist religious ideas may have on world peace when they are combined with political ambitions, whether it’s in Tora Bora or in Washington…
