Playing The Great Game

By Ken Percival

Playing the Great Game is the emotional, action-packed story of how Diego de la Cruz becomes a functioning adult after Muslim terrorists kill the man whom he thinks is his father. He and his pregnant mother flee, but the terrorists kidnap his mother and Diego must live in hiding with foster parents on an island off the coast of the state of Washington. For a while, the boy escapes into an inner world of solitude and the adventures of characters in books. However, a cell phone call from his mother, as she falls to her death after terrorists hurl her from an airplane, impels him to find his biological father, rescue his young sister from a forced marriage, and confront the evil in the world if he is to grow into a functioning adult. In the end, Diego accomplishes his mother's goal of reuniting his family. He then plans to move toward his own goal - fighting anti-American forces with the CIA.
