Ground Zero Mosque an Act of War

By Jack Engelhard

First they came for our Twin Towers. Now they come to build upon the ruins.

The New York skyline has always been the symbol of American power. This, then, is the prize. Imagine our skyline dominated by a grand mosque.

A minaret is to rise from the ashes.

This is intended to be the ultimate sign of American submission and Islamic superiority.

"Precise, almost clinical language...is this book fun to read? You betcha!"

The New York Times
Indecent Proposal
"That Jack Engelhard is a talented novelist is self-evident. His story plots are engrossing, his writing is fluid, and his characters are easily recognizable. They are as flawed and complex as flesh and blood people. And like actual people, they are often confronted by moral choices. This is where Jack Engelhard becomes an important novelist. By presenting his characters with moral roadblocks, the author asks us, as readers, to examine our own ethics. That's rare in today's literature."

Kenneth Slawenski, bestselling author of J.D.Salinger: A life
Compulsive
"Jack Engelhard combines personal experience, the experience of others, and a truly vivid, thoroughly grounded imagination to paint this compelling portrait of a novelist. For a quick, brisk read brimming with pathos and dignity, humor and mystery, hope and despair, love and lust, corporate autocracy and little guys who won't knuckle under....you don't want to miss Slot Attendant."
