About the Book
|
Leading
a biological warfare detection squad in the desert years after the
Gulf War, US Army Captain Kasey Lawrence receives an abrupt summons
to command and is ordered on an immediate assignment inside Iraq to
meet a high ranking official allegedly possessing information of vital
importance to the region. During her briefing, Saudi Arabian Air Force
Captain Nasir ibn Saud arrives and is declared her mission partner.
Captain Lawrence masks her astonishment at the announcement while
the Saudi royal objects to being teamed with a woman, a violation
of protocol between the nations. Told there is no time to stand on
ceremony, he reluctantly accompanies her. Their life altering journey
unfolds among revolution, political intrigue, and clashing cultures
involving monarchs, diplomats, Mossad, the CIA, an American president,
Saddam Hussein, and a twenty-five thousand member all female rebel
army that ultimately leads them to a startling revelation that will
forever change the world.
Ranging from the Mideast to small town America and the White House,
Honor Bound casts light on subjects and places vital to but little
understood by most Americans, ending with an astonishing prediction
about our future. With energy issues currently at the forefront of
American consciousness, Honor Bound focuses on what many believe to
be the country's most important foreign bond - our discreetly intimate
relationship with political life-partner Saudi Arabia, where it is
said over one-quarter of the world's oil reserves sit beneath desert
sand, controlled by a small monarchy called the House of Saud that
rules over a modest population surrounded by more militant Arab states
several times its size. If you want to know the shocking truths about
the politics of energy, the price of patriotism and the danger in
America's entangling alliances, you need to read Honor Bound and experience
the story of Captain Kasey Lawrence as she learns the profound terms
of heroism in our time.
