The Rising Tower

Rate this book
This is my first book titled ’The Rising Tower’, which I wrote while I was working as a Project Engineer in the same project during 1998- 99, with a theme that brings the World Community together for a noble cause. Even now, I wonder, how could I conceptualize such a wonderful theme and develop such a beautiful story around the Tower.
The 300 meter tall Kingdom Tower has a SKY Bridge on top. And with all the ultra-modern facilities, this Tower Complex has become the most sought after tourist destinations in the world. Visiting this place has become fulfilment of a ‘dream' and a 'life-time achievement’ for many.
In a sudden turn of events, over ten thousand people including men, women and children who were inside the Kingdom Tower Complex are taken hostages by an International Action Group.
The Action Group in their letter to the head of the world Body, the UN Secretary General, claimed the full responsibility for this action and placed their demands against the release of the hostages, a shocking news to the world community!
How did the Action Group manage to enter the Tower Complex undetected and took full control of the whole Complex, in spite of their ultra-modern security system is an unsolved mystery, perhaps,only he auhorknows the answer.
All the events that followed this hostage crisis across the world, including the involvement of UN, and the UN Secretary General’s powerful speech/ message to the world leaders as well as to the world community are highlights of this book.
The ‘horrifying episode’, exciting and breath-taking moments that followed the hostage crisis and the developing situation around the world are well described very dramatically, in real terms and conveyed through various studio discussions and TV Interviews in a most professional manner.

Finally, what happened to those hostages? Were they released? Or the Tower Kingdom Tower Complex turned into another Towering Inferno?
Keeping the ‘suspense element’ till the last pages of this

I am the author of this book. Obviously I have to read my book a number of times. And I got a wonderful feeling. Really what the author says is quite true. The story has a 'Theme' bringing the world community together. The book also brings out the Arab culture about how their marriage traditionally conducted.
It is very shocking, in a turn of event, the situation changes and this brings the whole world comes together to resolve the issue.

It is also very interesting to the readers, how the author takes the story forward and sharing everything what is happening around the world. Anxious moments the whole world go through is worth praising.
Overall, this is suspense thriller written in his own style of writing and it caters to the interest of both Eastern and Western readers.
