Synopsis

This narrative is set in Damascus in 2018 during the Syrian Civil War and shines a light on the dark world of interrogation centres, which the Syrian regime wishes to keep hidden from worldview. It is an account of contrasts: courage in the face of adversity; hope and dignity amidst despair; and endurance and fortitude in the face of pain and agony. But this book is also about the fanaticism that exists in every generation of mankind. This particular interrogation would begin as a probe for information but soon turn into a ‘battle of ideas’ and a ‘war of wills’. This is a story of an ordinary man who had an extraordinary job, during a time of unfavourable conditions in contemporary Damascus. Yet this ‘normal man in abnormal circumstances’ would change irrevocably the lives of hundreds and possibly thousands of people whom he met through his work. Finally, this work is dedicated to all those who have suffered and continue to suffer brutal interrogation and torture anywhere in the world. May the flame of freedom and enlightenment burn bright in ‘dungeons deep’ and the darkness of ignorance, fear, hate and oppression.“The words and ideas of this ‘21st century Orwell’ should not be ignored. I found this book compelling reading” – Dr Richard Sparks, Washington DC, USA.“Gripping, spine-chilling, and terrifying in places. Yet, there is a deep understanding of both sides of the argument that is well articulated in this narrative” – James Thorpe, Strategic Analyst, London, England.“This is a must read and unforgettable book” - Adam Brook, Business Owner and avid reader of historical fiction.
