About the Book

Another leader is about to arise. A man who will seize Europe and overpower her as a man takes a woman. He will dominate her and she will serve him. The man's name is War. Pierre Zein, a Lebanese journalist, interviews Hussein ibn Muhammed, an Ayatollah claiming to be the Twelfth Imam of the Shiites and begins a quest to expose the European leader behind the prophecy. His search leads him into danger and to the ultimate realisation that the conspiracy has advanced far beyond the power of human intervention. The year is 1981 and Lebanon is involved in a bloody civil war. Life in is a daily struggle and Pierre's work takes him out into the conflict areas on the streets of Beirut. When Danielle, a girlfriend from Pierre's past, contacts him, romance seems an impossibility. Love, drama and mystery lend this action-packed thriller an intensely human angle. Well-written, deeply researched, Lyn J Pickering captures the both the richness and the menace of the Middle East.
About the Author: In my early twenties my brother and I hitch-hiked to Lebanon where we lived and worked for some time. I fell in love with the country and was devastated by the civil war which broke out shortly after I returned to South Africa. I had travelled home from England overland, during which I had ample time to write, mostly poetry at that time, and think about my future direction. But it was not until I was in my thirties that I began writing seriously. My early influences came from such novelists as John Steinbeck, Doris Lessing, and Lawrence Durrell but as my own books developed I began to read more non-fiction and biographies than novels. I married, and between raising a family began work on Opus Dei, a novel set in Lebanon. Opus Dei had its inception in the civil war. It was to have been a simple story of a family trapped in a conflict from which there was no escape, but it grew in layers and developed into the multi-faceted novel it is today. I have a fascination with prophecy and Opus Dei culminates in the final events as demonstrated by the myths, legends and Biblical prophecy.
