Dar Al Salaam

Rate this book
Fractured States and Civil War are the new norm. The Secretary-General of the United Nations has given a Cambridge-educated senior Chinese official an almost impossible challenge: to assemble a team of experts, brilliant enough to detect, and intervene in, the most urgent problems facing the world. With the potential to unleash an unprecedented global crisis, a secretive plot is evolving to sabotage the world's oil supplies, set the superpowers against each other, and in the wake of this disaster, to restore the glories of a former medieval Caliphate. Li, the Chinese official, sets to the task of recruiting his international team of extraordinarily gifted individuals. The only question remaining is; if these individuals can come together as a team to use their combined intelligence, courage and talents before the unfolding catastrophe forces the world to the brink of a global economic meltdown and all-out war?

Dar Al Salaam is definitely an action-packed thriller that can't be put down for sure. It describes the relationship and interconnection between the most powerful countries of the world. The United Nations Organization created a strong six-member team for their subgroup called the Centre for Technology and Culture (CTC). Mr Li who was the head of this crew searched, filtered and brought these intelligent peoples together who all are experts in their respective fields across the globe.

On the other side, there was a family in the place 'Baghdad', who has the last heir of the Arab Caliphate was working on a powerful secret mission to get back their Caliphate and seek revenge for their family's loss by creating an international crisis. How these two powerful sets of peoples are interrelated and what they are going to accomplish at the end is the rest of the story.

The brilliant storyline with extraordinary insights and never-ending the suspense. The story mainly focuses on significant protocols and strategies that the world countries possess in their every move. Technology, Science, military weapons, actions and secret missions everything was described with a lot of keen information.
The writing style was impressive and informative that got me hooked into the plot in depth. The story was moving at a fast pace with so many detective internal affairs that made it even more intriguing.

Lot more facts about how countries all over the world work for their nation's safety are very well known after reading this book. This book also talks about the religious differences, economic and political chaos between the world countries. Characters were well developed and each one of them was portrayed effectively. Only thing I personally felt was that the book is a bit lengthy. Nevertheless, I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a unique storyline.
