November 9, 2001: Christian fundamentalists hijack four jetliners. They fly two into the Tigris & Euphrates World Trade Towers in Baghdad, and a third into the Arab Defense Ministry in Riyadh. The fourth plane, believed to be bound for Mecca, is brought down by its passengers in the desert. The United Arab States declares a War on Terror. A Coalition of Arabian and Persian troops invades the Eastern Seaboard and establishes a Green Zone in Washington, D.C.... Now, several years later, the war in America is winding down. In Iraq, an Arab Homeland Security agent named Mustafa al Baghdadi interrogates a captured suicide bomber. The prisoner claims that the world they are living in is a mirageβin the real world, America is a superpower, and the Arab states are just a collection of βbackward third-world countries.β A search of the bomberβs apartment turns up a copy of the New York Times, dated September 12, 2001, that appears to support his claim. This isnβt an isolated incident. Other captured terrorists have been telling the same story, and other βartifactsβ have been found. The president wants answers, but Mustafa and his team soon discover there are other interested parties. The gangster Saddam Hussein is conducting his own investigation. And the head of the Senate Intelligence Committeeβa war hero named Osama bin Ladenβwill stop at nothing to hide the truth about the mirage.
