Allan Topol’s new novel, the second in the trilogy featuring Craig Page and Elizabeth Crowder, deals with the age old conflict between Christians and Muslims in Western Europe. It explodes into the 21st Century in an intricate tale of deadly revenge.
The Spanish Revenge is the second book in Allan Topol’s Craig Page Thriller series taking place after the highly acclaimed China Gambit. In this fast paced page turner, we re-join Craig Page the bold and daring European Director of Counterterrorism, as he embarks to stop Ahemd Sadi whose soul goal in life is to provoke a Muslim uprising in Western Europe.
Sadi is a nonreligious Muslim fanatic, born to Algeria parents who immigrated to Paris. Sadi adopts a nom de plume, Musa Ben Abdil, after a Muslim war hero during the Fifteenth Century War with Spain. To top it off, we’re reunited with the China Gambit’s main villain, General Zhou who has decided to team up with Sadi in the plot to strike at the heart of Christianity.
Sadi has also claimed to have uncovered a parchment from 1504, where Queen Isabella gave the Southern area of Spain to the Muslims, on her death bed, in perpetuity. What are his horrific plans for Southern Spain if he can claim?
In this game of cat and mouse, Page, along with reporter (and now lover), Elizabeth Crowder, track the terrorists responsible for a train bombing in Spain. As the pages keep turning, we find our heroes traveling the world, coming face to face with the terrorist group, and even in a few moments of peril themselves for underestimating Sadi and General Zhou. Will Page and Crowder be able to navigate the labyrinth Allan Topol has set up for them? Time will only tell as deceptions and revelations are abound in this story. We learn more with each passing page, not just about the fictional characters, but the real world we live in.
