Master of Secrets

by George Bartram

This is the sixth of my fictional seven book “Master's” series centered on Yassar Kaffi, a billionaire global financier and famed developer of Dubai, UAE. Yassar, an extremely successful businessman was radicalized by the death of his extended family in a U.S. cruise missile attack on a wedding they attended in Yemen. Yassar born and raised in Oman is motivated by the cultural mandate of Iwb Isaba requiring personal revenge against those that insult, harm, or dishonor a relative. He uses his incredible amassed financial resources to organize a terrorist network unlike any other. He formed the “Shura” an inner council, which uses his detailed plans and varied tactics to attack U.S and allied targets well beyond those of al Qaeda and ISIS. After several successful terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe in which his terrorist cells took over a nuclear facility and caused a nuclear meltdown in another, committed several high-level assassinations, attacked critical government bodies and facilities, hit mass transportation systems, and ended a famed music concert series the accumulated evidence narrowed to terrorist within Doha and Dubai. Yassar's terrorist cells have used conventional automatic weapons, drones, exotic poisons and gases, explosives, psychological manipulation, and cyber-attacks to create unrelenting unprecedented chaos, fear, and anxiety challenging international leaders, intelligence organizations and counter-terrorism agencies. Those combined efforts have not identified and neutralized this audacious and deceptive terrorist network or “mastermind.” The CIA, NSA, FBI, SIS and other intelligence organizations are under extraordinary pressure to prevent the next elaborately planned attack.

This was a good book with plenty of action. It held my attention from the start, I also liked the way the author got me into the story early.
