Synopsis

At the stunning conclusion of the suspense novel "White King and the Doctor" CIA analyst James Mikolas and Andrew Weir, his young Grand-master chess champion partner, had discovered the secret identity and location of the world's second-most-wanted terrorist-Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Believing they also knew what strategy he would use to bring down the United States from within, and WHO the true White King was, they set out to stop "the Doctor." Having successfully escaped, however, Zawahiri assumes another identity in a shockingly different part of the world, where he continues his "hide in plain sight" tactic, and triggers his doomsday scenario against the United States-set to launch June 30, 2011. Discredited and ostracized by the US government, Mikolas and Weir are determined to warn the unsuspecting White King and save America from complete cultural destruction. They are joined in their desperate mission by Andy's wide receiver, Brian Washington Carver. Having climbed out of the "hood" to become a star collegiate football player and computer "gamer," it is his personal tragedy that unlocks the mystery of HOW Zawahiri plans to destroy us, and how we can defeat him at his own game. In a suspense novel taken from today's, and possibly tomorrow's, headlines, "White King Rising" is the story of how we win.
