Underground Knowledge — A discussion group discussion

I believe members of this group will enjoy my novel, Father, Son, Stone, which is now available as a free Kindle download through Tuesday, November 29. This timely story blends history and mystery to reveal the secret of the most controversial religious site in Jerusalem — known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

The genre is historical fiction, with the plot inspired by historical events. Immediately after the Six-Day War in 1967, after the Israelis captured the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, to the dismay of many, returned the administration of the Temple Mount to the Muslim Authority. In the latter part of the 20th century, the Muslim authorities conducted construction activities under the Temple Mount to enlarge al-Aqsa Mosque, which many believe endangers the structural integrity of the area, including the Western Wall.

In my story, the Western Wall collapses from the Muslim Authority’s excavation under the Temple Mount, and Justice Meir Bar-Aben of the Supreme Court of Israel presides over a secret hearing, initiated by the Israeli Prime Minister, to take back control of the Temple Mount from the Muslim Authority. What is revealed during the hearing changes Jerusalem, and the people who live there, forever.

The story spans many centuries, focusing on the history of the Temple and the Temple Mount. A major portion involves the period of the 7th century CE during the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem, and the construction of al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount.

A fascinating, high concept storyline Allan.
Congratulations.

Thanks, Lance. I hope you enjoy it. The story is also in part a fictionalized version of my life experience. If you read it, I would welcome your comments.
