The Master’s Ultimatum is the second of a six-part Master's Series of international thrillers introducing a new breed of radicalized terrorist leadership capable of using his incredible financial resources in developing complex multiple level terrorist attacks that affect the stability of the entire world.

**The Master of Deception (Book 1) Synopsis: **

Yassar Kaffi, billionaire financier, and developer of Dubai became radicalized after his extended family and numerous friends were slaughtered while attending a Yemeni wedding by a U.S. cruise missile.  The military strike was targeted to eliminate two high-ranking al-Qaeda leaders. This horrendous event transformed Yassar from a western celebrity lifestyle and thinking world figure into a radicalized Muslim mastermind terrorist leader.  Following the loss of his family, Yassar spends the next seven years creating a new more sophisticated terrorist organization well beyond those preceding terrorist group. 

An Omani by birth, Yassar becomes solely motivated by the traditional Omani cultural requirement of “awb isaba” which demanded that individuals avenge those that bring any harm, dishonor or disgrace upon their family. The skills Yassar acquired in playing the game of chess over five decades laid the foundation for the development of sophisticated plans, ploys, feigns of misdirection, deceptive attacks and precisely anticipated the international responses to keep intelligence and anti-terrorist agencies at bay and create chaos, fear, and frustration for the U.S. and numerous allies. His multiple leveled plans began with attacks on seemingly senseless low-level soft targets against bridges and art museums. His strategy morphs into higher priority targets that in ways surpass the massive attack of September 11th. Counter terrorism and intelligence agencies worldwide are matched against a mastermind devoted to sacrificing everything to get his revenge.

The Master’s Ultimatum opens with Yassar’s diabolical second level attack as his large Tolem Series terrorist cell has taken full control of Palo Verde, the largest nuclear facility in the United States. Nassar Bin Hassan, is Yassar’s son-in-law, by marriage to his daughter Khadiija killed in the Yemen cruise missile attack. Nassar as the leader of the Tolem Series terrorist cell delivered an “Ultimatum” upon U.S. President Reynolds demanding the release of all Muslim detainees in Guantanamo Camp Delta and held around the world or face the destruction of three massive nuclear reactors with unfathomed consequences. At the same time, the cell is making preparations to destroy the incredible facility regardless of the President meeting their demands.
