This website is concerned with a fiction book that tells the story of a radical militant who dreams of a bright future of death: the death of the misbelievers and even his own death, since he believes that martyrdom is the greatest act in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that the front cover reminds us of two major terrorist attacks.
The front cover is the fruit of the excellent work of an artist who gave form to an idea of the author.
The objective was to put emphasis on the dramatic effects of the attacks launched by terrorist organizations, which still continue to operate with impunity, are practically free to do what they want in a large number of countries and have many safe havens across the world.
The choice eventually fell on artworks that referred to
♦ the World Trade Center in New York City (September 11, 2001)
♦ the Taj Mahal Palace & Towers in Mumbai (November 26, 2008)
A couple of images seemed to be enough, but, unfortunately, there was a wide range of options. For instance, we could have focused attention on the criminal attacks which took place in
♦ Netanya, Israel (March 27, 2002)
♦ Djerba, Tunisia (April 11, 2002)
♦ Bali, Indonesia (October 12, 2002)
♦ Mombasa, Kenya (November 28, 2002)
♦ Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (May 12, 2003)
♦ Casablanca, Morocco (May 16, 2003)
♦ Istanbul, Turkey (November 15 and 20, 2003)
♦ Madrid, Spain (March 11, 2004)
♦ London, UK (July 7, 2005)
...just to mention a few events that occurred before the publication of the book, but the list could go on and today it would be extremely long.
