White King and the Doctor: a novel based on actual events

"White King and the Doctor" will challenge you to think; it will cause you to look at things you've never examined; and it will change how you view the world around you forever. Based on actual events, it is a suspense novel about the War on Terror, through the eyes of Ayman Al-Zawahiri--the mastermind and second-in-command of Al Qaeda. Zawahiri is playing a diabolical and brilliant game of mind control, using public relations as it has never been used before. His complex game has military, sociological, economic and political consequences. Two men are pitted against him in a desperate race to know what his next move will be and to locate where he is. One is james Mikolas, a CIA analyst who advances an outragious theory, and the other is Andrew Weir, an 18-year-old Grandmaster chess champion who proves it. The actual events of our current history are tied together with a back-story that paints a suspenseful and provocative picture of a never-before-played game.
