Product description

At the age of seven, childhood friends Chris and Imran celebrate the Millennium as inseparable blood brothers. But by 2011, their lives have taken very different paths. One has joined the Army and served in Afghanistan; the other is a potential jihad recruit. They are no longer friends. Bitter wounds have opened between them, which remain unhealed. Will their childhood bond prove strong enough to overcome an extremist plot in a world of suspicion and terror? Told in flashback from both Chris and Imran’s points of view, Alan Gibbon’s highly-charged, brave and life-affirming story explores the face of terrorism in the modern day.

“Utterly gripping, honest and courageous… We need more books like this… Cracking contemporary thriller addressing today’s key issues of multiculturalism, terrorism and community ties.” Jill Murphy, Bookbag
