Synopsis

The story line of Anything for a Friend is straight out of today's international news. The world is being held hostage to Iran's pursuit of a weapon of mass destruction—a nuclear bomb, and the declared intention of destroying its enemy, Israel. One of Iran's nuclear scientists has decided that he cannot bear having the slaughter of millions of Jews on his conscience, and seeks to escape the clutches of his demented Islamic masters. An ultra-secret international organization dedicated to fighting global terrorism known only as 'Mother' has recruited a former U.S. Army Special Forces Ranger for the scientist's exfiltration. Captain Mitch Hazouri, is a unique multi-lingual counter-terrorism specialist, who will assume the undercover role of an Arabic-speaking citizen of the United Arab Emirates and attempt the rescue of the Iranian scientist. He will enter Iran posing as a contract employee of an Iraqi manufacturer of armored automobiles, escorting a convoy of new vehicles from Mosul, Iraq, to Tehran. Working with an Israeli Mossad agent in Tehran, he must devise on his own a way to get the scientist out of Iran. Standing in his way is an evil mass murderer, who uses an alkaline hydrolysis process to reduce the cadavers of his enemies to a flushable liquid in a place he calls 'the soup room.' He would like nothing better than to add Mitch Hazouri to his 'soup of the day.' While Anything for a Friend is a work of fiction, many of the characters and organizations, including 'Mother' are authentic. Some portions of the story have actually transpired and serve to underline the very real possibility of the story's outcome. The alkaline hydrolysis process of the "soup room" for dissolving human cadavers is real, as is the Polish Antonov AN-2 used in the escape flight from Iran, and Hazouri's personal weapon, the H&K MP7A1.
