Bøger om Middle-East

Han blev svigtet af sit land og af sin far.Han svor ikke at se sig tilbage.Nu har Danmark brug for ham.For kontreadmiral Richard Cortzen startede og sluttede alting med fædrelandet. Det koncept siger imidlertid ikke hans søn, Tom, noget. Han har efter en traumatisk oplevelse som jægersoldat i Irak vendt både sin far og sit fædreland ryggen.Da faren dør, og Tom må haste hjem til begravelsen, sker der imidlertid noget. En gammel soldaterkammerat prikker ham på skulderen: Danmark har brug for Tom.Splittet mellem faderens livslange kamp for Gud, konge og fædreland og sin egen individualistiske ideologi bliver Tom sendt ud i nationens tjeneste. En iransk topprogrammør er blevet dræbt i Dubai og hans danske kæreste er forsvundet. Sagen berører egentlig ikke Danmarks sikkerhed, hvis ikke det var, fordi FE’s udsendte i Mellemøsten, som var Toms gode ven, også er blevet myrdet.KONGETRO er en vild historie om magtmisbrug, konspiration og nationalisme i en verden, hvor landegrænserne i stigende grad trækkes hårdere og hårdere op.
