crushed is a gripping, fast-paced story from the first sentence. it’s about the dedication of one man to right a wrong. a daytime new york financial advisor and a night-time martial arts instructor, afiz abdelfazar travels around the world to take on an overseas mission of impossible scale. he has to try to save the united states of america from an extreme sect. afiz runs the gauntlet of terrorist attacks, tribal militia and a court sentencing him to death; one man tasked to stop a new world order. crushed is a work of fiction entirely out of the imagination of the author, following on from initial world events, using some commonly known places and names, and is never a comment on any person or organization. if you are on a commuter journey, squeezed into an aluminum tube at subsonic speed, packed into a bus, on a commuter train above or below ground, laid under a sunshade on a beach, beneath shady leaves while leant back onto a tree, or relaxing at home, all of which the author has experienced, just enjoy the story and make the author very happy.
