As early as December of 1998, the CIA reported that Osama Bin Laden and his Al-Queda organization prepared for direct attacks against the United States using hijacked aircraft, prompting the FBI to place Osama Bin Laden on its Ten Most Wanted List.
In an effort to recruit the best possible Operations Officers to take on these dangerous terrorist organizations, the CIA approaches a young, intelligent, and exceptionally beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed Sherry Aspen and sends her into Afghanistan to locate whatever terrorist cells are hiding there and report these locations back to Langley. But as Sherry soon discovers, she is but a mere pawn in a much larger game of intrigue and espionage.
Despite all that she has to give up to obtain the most relevant information to protect the United States, the CIA turns a deaf ear to what she finds in the Middle East, except when she learns of a terrorist plot to attack the Twin Towers in New York City just months after she is deployed. As a result, Sherry is on the run, not from any of the terrorists in the Middle East who may want to kill her, but by the CIA itself.
In this exceptional work of historical fiction, Harvey Havel outlines a conspiracy theory in the form of a novel that questions whether or not the tragedy that took place on September 11th, 2001 was really based on the actions of only one man and not more powerful forces at work, such as the CIA. By following Sherry Aspen on her mission through such places as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Israel, Havel takes us on a thrilling ride that uncovers what may have been the real reasons behind the 9/11 attacks in which nearly 3,000 innocent American civilians perished. For anyone interested in alternate perspectives of what might have caused the 9/11 attacks as well as those who crave high-caliber literary fiction, this important and carefully-crafted novel is a still very timely and a definite must-read.
An Apology by the Author
Let me begin first by saying plainly that I am neither the narrator of this novel nor do I espouse the same beliefs that this novel herein contains. The narrator is a separate character altogether who is a creation of the imagination. The dear reader may think him unduly crass, misogynistic, and racist, but as the writer of this novel I am not so. While I will admit that I hold certain values that may be outdated, old-fashioned, or out of touch with the mainstream of our generous society of today, it is only because I am too detached from current affairs to have any firm opinions about any of the issues contained herein. No longer do I read the papers, the newsworthy items in glossy magazines, or respond to the commentaries of television pundits. Ever since the end of the Trump Presidency, I have divorced myself from politics and the muck of current affairs, even though their pervasive qualities continue to follow me wherever I go. I try to turn away as best I can when I see a headline of a story or any breaking news on television.
Given that I am not the narrator of this book and that my stances in general are apolitical towards the events that dominate us now, I must also say that this is a work of pure fiction. This book is a product of the imagination. But more accurately, this is a work of historical fiction whose attitudes, opinions, and beliefs no longer apply to our present. Rather, the research contained in this book had been gathered over an intensive six-month period before the writing of this book began. A Bibliography is attached at the end of it for the reader’s review.
The characters in this novel are purely fictitious and in no way are they meant to slight anyone the dear reader my find comparable to real persons. In fact, I commend and applaud the efforts of those who have put their lives in jeopardy to protect and defend our precious country from countless threats, both foreign and domestic, and this includes the Central Intelligence Agency. But in no way have I ever known anyone who is with or has been employed by the Central Intelligence Agency or any of the international intelligence services that are mentioned herein.
While this narrative at times portrays these fictious characters in a negative and perhaps humorous light, it is for entertainment purposes only. This novel is to be enjoyed and not to be a seen as a personal cudgel that bashes any particular political persuasion or criticizes any government servant, department, bureau, or agency. We should see this novel as an artifact forever stuck in the annals of time, a near-forgotten history from the past, more so than any comment or criticism of our government at present or any influential persons that may have had at one time served the public.
