Synopsis

Bob Gillespie, the author writes: Between 1985 and 1990, I wrote a thriller about terrorism and its Islamic roots. Bin Laden would have still been in his formative twenties. Its theme preceded the fall of the Berlin wall; its principal villain came from the Balkans before Serbian hegemony exploded; it drew a link between drug dealing and Islamic terrorism before the Taliban existed. All those years ago, this thriller foresaw the Islamic threat to our western world, weaving a fictional web of mystery around an attempt on the life of a then fictional President of the United States. I never presented it for publication because the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, and the end of Perestroika consigned its content to historical curiosity rather than to contemporary interest. Today I believe it has never been more timely to reread how the world was just a short time ago.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Bob Gillespie has worked and lived in the U.K., the U.S.A., Italy and France. His interest in comparative Western European cultures brought him to author Machiavelli and The Mayflower in 2009. He started writing Brutes for Kin under the title The Angry Sky in 1985 and finished a researched first draft shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which more-or-less sabotaged the whole Northern-Hemisphere, Cold-War thriller genre. With the encouragement of a M.A. in Critical and Creative Writing at the University of Sussex to be completed in 2018, he has rewritten and republished his novel as Brutes for Kin. Bob currently oscillates between Paris, Brighton and a few other places.
