Plot Summary of Suicide String
"The story details the life of a member of a Hamas Battle Cell and his mission to attain Paradise by means of a suicide bombing. Countering him are two governments, law enforcement agencies still reeling from "9/11", an expert professor being tapped for his knowledge of terrorism, and the academic's students and friends. A potential foil to the "martyr's" task are the confused workings of his own mind fighting with his desire to be "remembered" by his people."
Burt Keimach, Resident Scholar
