Black Stone of Abraham K Berkley

Publisher Marketing: When Kavian decided to sell real estate after getting laid off from his engineering job, he had no idea how profoundly his life would change. Soon after the mysterious Kara walks into his open house, Kavian is launched into a chain of events that shatter his perceptions and leave his view of the world forever altered. Drawn into a mysterious research project that is somehow linked to the disappearance of two Americans in the Middle East in the late 1970s, Kavian finds himself tasked with locating the mysterious and legendary Black Stone of Abraham, a stone purported to be alien in origin that is believed to hold the key to unlocking interstellar space travel for the human race. Kavian's research carries him into a world of deception and intrigue as he uncovers the truth behind the stone's disappearance. That truth carries with it surprising revelations about the history of the stone and of the true history of Arabia and Islam -- a history with far-reaching consequences that extend all the way to the Middle East of the present day. Although a work of science fiction, Black Stone of Abraham nevertheless serves as a historical expose that sheds light on current events in the Middle East and conveys the author's understanding of the forces behind terrorism and radical Islam. The reader is encouraged to do their own research into the veracity of the claims presented in this story and draw his or her own conclusions."
