THE SLEEPING PRESIDENT
When Mustafa Rahman wed Shereen Taraki in the small village of Khaimaad in Afghanistan, they dreamed of a life together. War, a Russian invasion, quickly shattered that dream. Offered a chance to escape, terrified, they accepted, and then fled over the infamous Khyber Pass into Pakistan on what they deemed, their "flight to freedom", to a final, unknown, well planned destiny. What they didn't know then, the offer accepted, carried with it, huge personal cost!
Securing refugee status, on arrival in America, the penniless immigrants are befriended by New York based Afghans. Grateful to be liberated, the guidance and friendly mentoring willingly given, soon see them amass a personal wealth unimagined. Shawn, their first born, will achieve enviable popularity, first in broadcasting, and from where he will take his fame and popularity to enter public office seeking his ultimate pinnacle of political success. Chagrined, younger brother George, against his Father's wishes, joins the U.S. Military only to be sent to fight the new war on terror, while his multi-linguist twin sister Kristen gravitates to a career in Washington DC.
With the children gone, and the advantage of money and connections, Mustafa Rahman decides to follow a fragmented mail trail in his efforts to honor a life-long and once, youthful promise. Unwittingly, in undertaking a search for left behind family in his war-ravaged homeland, the help he again freely accepts, finally exposes the unknown, meticulously well planned evil plot, formulated all those years ago, and links him to two words he dreads for the connotation connection he unquestionably understood - Mission Accomplished. A powerful beneficiary, without options, the ultimate high price for his freedom would be finally, shockingly, claimed!
Spanning almost one hundred years, this epic story with factual historical events and people, woven through news headlines of the day, is as much about love and survival, business and high stakes politics, as it is about patience and intrepid masterful forethought that will conclude in both amazement and the terrifying question - could it actually happen?
