The Suicide Bomber is probably one of the most prophetic books of
our time. The original manuscript was completed a full six months
prior to the horrific London suicide bombings of July 7th 2005.
Beginning in November 2001 just after the events of 9/11, The
Suicide Bomber takes the reader on a terrifying but fascinating
journey following the lives of its two main protagonists, Jim
Barker and Tom Collins. Jim Barker is a twenty year old white,
upper middle-class university student who, after attending a talk
on Islam held at his college, becomes interested in and later a
zealous convert of a fundamentalist group of Islamic extremists. He
is hand-picked to become one of six suicide bombers charged with
carrying out deadly explosions at six of the busiest London
Underground stations as a macabre celebration of the 9/11 attacks
in the United States. Tom Collins, a veteran MI5 operative,
receives a hand delivered letter warning him of the impending
murderous plot. With few specific facts to go on and very little
time in which to find out the information that could immobilize the
attack, Collins and his team are stretched to their limits. Collins
finally gets the break he needs but fate deals him a harsh hand and
he becomes involved in a cat and mouse game with unthinkable human
costs at stake. And time is not on his side...
