Description
A sensational new novel set against the tense background of the explosive Middle East from the master of story-tellers.
THE PIRATE is Baydr Al Fay who, through a strange twist of fate, is brought up as a beloved son in the rich and privileged world of the powerful Arab family of Al Fay. He is trained to be a leader and learns to expect that what he wants - including people will fall into his grasp.
Baydr Al Fay belongs to the jet-setting, oil-opulent class of new Arab and his insatiable drive and ambition send him all over the world, seeking out new business deals and new women. He surrounds himself with people he can use, but those he has discarded include his Arab ex-wife Maryam whom he put aside for the golden and beautiful American girl, Jordana, though even she cannot hold his attention. It is left to his revolutionary daughter, Leila, to show him that wealth and power are only part of life though by then it's almost too late.
